Known problems with the 2022 Mazda CX-5
1 of the 8 issues we track for the 2017–2025 generation is documented against the 2022 model year.
Cylinder deactivation vibration/shudder
minorMany 2.5L owners (non-turbo, with cylinder deactivation) report a noticeable vibration or shudder in the 30–45 mph range or under light throttle, felt when the engine transitions in and out of 2-cylinder mode. Owner and forum reports tie some cases to automatic transmission fluid contaminated with iron powder from torque-converter lock-up wear; Mazda has issued various software recalibrations over the years, but there is no single universal fix and the behavior is not considered a safety defect. Disabling cylinder deactivation is not officially supported.
Typical cost: $0 (ECM recalibration under warranty) to several hundred dollars for a transmission fluid/filter service if ATF contamination is suspected

About the Mazda CX-5
The Mazda CX-5 is Mazda's best-selling model in the US and the compact SUV enthusiast reviewers point to when they say a crossover can actually be fun to drive. 5L four-cylinder, a conventional 6-speed automatic, and no turbo or CVT anywhere in the lineup, simple, low-maintenance mechanicals whose main documented weak spots are a corrosion-prone liftgate strut recall and a steering-knuckle bolt recall. 2L SkyActiv-D diesel for 2019–2020 that Mazda quietly dropped after low demand.
5L engines, a widely reported cylinder-deactivation shudder/vibration that Mazda never fully resolved with a clean fix, exhaust valve-stem-seal oil consumption on some 2021 engines, and a class-action settlement covering Mazda Connect infotainment freezes/reboots on 2016–2020 CX-5s. All CX-5s from 2013 on use FL-22 long-life coolant, Mazda ATF-FZ automatic transmission fluid, a Group 35 battery, and a CR2032 key fob battery. Parts that are cheap and easy to find regardless of which generation you own.
