Re: My drive does not have towing mode.

I appreciate your response. Tomorrow I will pick up my caravan. I have a list of safety features that, according to other people's advice, I should disable. Auto braking is one of them. Clearly, there is some software or ECU programming involved for this to be available, thus I will need to see Mazd...

Re: My drive does not have towing mode.

Thank you, but I'm not holding my breath for it to show up. I get it now, but until I get everything functioning properly, I'll have to disable a few safety features.
Towbar Express and Mazda may go in both directions.
Many thanks

Re: My drive does not have towing mode.

Your reply is really appreciated. I don't have my van till Saturday, so I won't be able to check until then if towing mode appears immediately after installation or if I need to wait until I plug in my caravan. Hopefully everything is OK, because towbar express installed my towbar and they said it r...

My drive does not have towing mode.

I am a first-time Mazda owner of a 25-plate CX60 2.5 hybrid Skyactiv. Tow mode is not shown on my disc. A towbar with specific wiring and a detachable ball was just installed by towbar express. Please tell me how to enable the towing mode. I contacted Mazda, and they informed me that the electric Ma...

Re: At just over 5,000 miles, the "Service Engine Soon" message and wrench icon were visible.

Even though the instructions says I should get three times as much mileage with synthetic, mine came on at 3,000 miles after six months. No problems with 10,000 to 12,000 miles on my Mercedes, and 10,000 miles on my Lexus for oil changes.

Re: Restocking on the Steering Rack

You should be worried that they might install an out-of-date version. Despite my Dealer's assurances to the contrary, they proceeded to do it anyhow. The stated rationale is that we must carry out their recommendations. Parody news.

Restocking on the Steering Rack

Has anyone had success getting this repaired? I was informed the replacement steering rack part was back-ordered until April or May. I am presently pursuing a Lemon Law case, and my vehicle has been at Mazda since 12/15/25. Attempting a final repair is within their legal 10-day window after receivin...
