I went to Mazda for a new key because the 2022 CX5 fob just crumbled when it slipped out of my butter fingers onto concrete floor and they cost $500 to replace. It does not really function any better than the old fobs.

It now has a LED Headlight malfunction and the dealer is charging $2000 to replace it.

“Recommended service Bulb - Headlight Assembly: REPLACE DRIVER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY The entire casing that includes the bulb and the lens that mounts into the front of the car. $2,004.17”

Has it always cost this much for everyone else? I owned Chevy Silverado’s before and my 2016 Mazda 6 never gave me any issues. Chevrolet gave me bumper to bumper so any issues it gave was just repaired.

I love Mazda but… this is getting ridiculous for simple issues. Can’t imagine what the next minor inconvenience is going to cost me now. I remember mechanics charged less for removing the entire dash to get to the AC compressor.

Genuinely curious about these costs.

    If you know the problem, don’t go to the dealership.

    Sadly I’m in the same boat and have to go to the dealership tomorrow AM for some pesky suspension issue that was caused my trying to change the rear shocks on my 2014 3. Big mistake. This shocks are near impossible to remove and we stripped the knuckle trying to do it all.
