Power drain issue CX-5

Asked by Nick Oct 31, 2015 at 02:30 PM about the 2013 Mazda CX-5 Touring

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2013 CX-5. Replaced the battery and
took to the dealer but they diagnosed the issue as
a cable that was not tight enough.
Basically my alarm will go off randomly at night
and sometimes the engine makes a clicking noise
almost like its trying to start when it has not been
used in 2 or 3 days. Any advice would be great!

My CX5 has a faulty valve in the battery. It is a 2014 Ref which I bought with 27,000 on the clock. Not happy, since I've only had it 4 months and this is the second problem!

I was just told for my 2020 Mazda CX-5 GTR that Mazda has detected a problem with the power lift gate but does not have a fix yet or recall. Great so every time it decides to power my battery down I have to call a tow truck to jump it, which is not good for the vehicle.
