I was driving on the freeway when I heard a loud sound above me, followed by suddenly feeling wind coming into the vehicle as well as hearing glass roll off the top of the car. When I was able to safely pull over I saw that there was a huge hole in the sunroof but no other damage. There were no dents or scratches anywhere on the top of the car where I heard the sound come from. The remaining glass was angled upwards as if the glass had exploded. Luckily I had the slider under the glass closed so no glass made it inside the vehicle as I was driving. Had it not been closed it could have potentially injured myself or my two children or potentially caused a collision.

Had an incident were the passenger side window just cracked into pieces while driving down the highway. Nobody was injured but we were not sure what may have caused this (there were no cars adjacent to us and in the lanes further).

This complaint is about 2015 mazda cx-5 design problem when one or botjh rear windows are open: the problem is when one or both are down a few inches or more a very loud thumping noise with feeling of pulsing air causing very uncomfortable hearing & potential of headaches if windows not closed immediately. Front windows usually up but can be opened a few inches and thumping still very loud. This situation happens at speeds above 25 MPH & worse on highways. This same problem reported to the federal safety agency on 9/19/2014, with I.d. #10637592. As other complaint noted mazda is aware of problem a long time ago & supposedly has not done any proactive steps to fix it. They supposedly have a kit consumers can purchase. I would not have purchased car if problem was known ahead of time or happened during test drive. Mazda is not being truthful to consumers and must be held accountable for this cover up. They should recall all effected models & apply fix. I hope the federal safety agency does a survey of all purchased cx-5 since 2013 to find out true number of consumers impacted. It would be nice to open windows as needed to let inside heat out or to see to outside as needed for safety without being subjected to thumping sounds that do hurt hearing & cause for headaches. Tk

Car sat for approx 4 hours while visiting relatives, on my home I noticed a crack approx 8-10" long in the middle of the windshield, from the base under the wipers up towards the middle of the windshield curving towards the drivers side at almost a 90 degree angle at the end. There are no marks that look like anything hit the windshield, it's a straight clean crack. I'm hoping the dealer will cover it but from what I've read it doesn't look good. I would think there should be a recall on the windshields, if they are cracking like this for no apparent reason, or because of weather changes, or because you're washing your car on a hot day, I can only imagine what would happen to them if the cars are actually in an accident, they would never withstand the impact and shatter to a million pieces! How safe is that? The should definitely be recalled and replaced with better made windshields.

2 weeks after the purchase of a new 2015 mazda cx5 we noticed a crack in the windshield. Exactly on the top portion of the windshield in the middle coming down to a t. We took the car to the dealer of purchase and a service employee looked at it started digging in a spot and stated that a rock must of hit the windshield because he found a hole. Not satisfied with that answer the supervisor for the service department was called and upon looking at the windshield he pointed to a complete different spot and then pointed to a third spot that he claimed was a hole. How does a windshield of a brandnew car never on the expressway have 3 impact spots that are exactly in the middle of the windshield and with that refused to pay for the replacement. Since the windshield is not available anywhere but the dealership I am no responsible for the repair of something that was a defect.

Cracked windshield we were filling up gas at a gas station & suddenly we heard a pop sound. I tried to go around the car & see what happened but did not notice anything. The car was still pumping gas when this happened. Next day, there was nothing in the morning but after parking at work for couple hours & coming back to the car, we noticed a big crack on the screen.

On january 1/10/2015 while driving on local freeways we heard a loud pop. Neither my wife or I could see where anything struck. We thought no more of it at the time. The ambient temperature was mid-forties. Car was parked overnight on my driveway. On getting in the car the next morning I saw a 13-14 inch crack had appeared, running from bottom right, passenger side and is through and through the glass and extends past gasket to bottom of glass. On inspection can see starburst below line of sight, in black bordered area. This windshield will not hold up to normal road damage and/or crash impact.
