Frequent interrupted regenerations let diesel contaminate the oil, accelerating timing chain, turbo and bottom-end wear.
- Camshaft Wear (Early Diesels)Serious
Like the CX-5, early 2.2 diesel 6s suffered from premature camshaft wear leading to metal contamination in the oil and turbo failure.
- i-ELOOP Capacitor FailureModerate
Cars with Mazda's capacitor-based energy recovery system can trigger charging warnings and disable stop-start when the capacitor or control module gets weak.
