Replying to: dpegan (Mar 08, 2007 5:33 pm) It seems that not every Mazda5 has the problem if you know others who aren't complaining. Did you happen to contact Mazda Canada (email works well)? What about Transport Canada's Defect phone number - they welcome calls about defects? |

I have the same problem with my 5(Sport 5spd). Live in upstate NY, so there has been plenty of oportunity for this noise to drive me insane. I feel like suspension compliance is pretty harsh during cold weather as well; robably directly related to this design/mfg. problem. Thanks to the people on this message board for bringing the TSB to my attention; armed with that, I was able to get the dealer to listen and order the parts. Don't know when the parts will be available, however. I look forward to getting it fixed and/or warmer weather; It's a sweet driving car. I will follow up when I have more information.

Replying to: mopaul (Mar 10, 2007 2:09 pm) I wonder how longer it will be before someone with a 2007 posts with the same problem. Has anyone taken a 2007 out for a ride? I noticed they had redesigned the rear of the car. Not sure if this relates to the suspension problem or not, but it may relate to another problem I had with the separation of the bumper from the body just behind the rear wheel well. Keep us posted on your success with the fix.

I have a 2007 Touring model that I purchased in November 2006. My car is usually parked inside a garage so the "crunchy" suspension problem never happened to me but when I go out somewhere and my car is parked outside in the cold for a long period of time, there definitely is some crunching going on when I drive. I don't drive my car much so it hasn't really been a huge annoyance to me. i'm sure once i move and have to park my car outdoors, i'll notice it a lot more.

Replying to: simon76 (Mar 12, 2007 8:10 am)  Right now in my part of Canada, above North Dakota, the weather is 5 degrees C so I don't hear a thing and I can pretend that the problem doesn't exist - for now...

Replying to: fav (Mar 14, 2007 4:12 pm) I know there is a Transport Canada recall on the "frozen door locks/handles" and an obvious safety hazard if doors can fly open. Sure hope you get a solution. The cold weather is back here for a short period (I hope) and I keep hoping the crunching is just from ice on the roads (wishful thinking)

Replying to: fav (Mar 15, 2007 3:33 pm) This is interesting - they didn't happen to quote the TSB number did they? Is your VIN within the range that will be listed on the TSB? I will have to check with my other car mechanic and see if he received the TSB and see if it is in fact a Canadian issued TSB? or the old USA (North American TSB # 02-007/06 - my memory may have faded on the number but I'm pretty sure that is it. Can hardly wait to hear on your next post.
