So my 2022 cx30 2.5L non turbo with 63,000km on it would not start for me on Sunday. I was in the store for MAYBE 5 mins. When I came out to start the car, The brake pedal was stiff as a rock and as I pressed the start button only the acc came on with the lights on the dash. I dont think any icons came up at this point. I called my boyfriend he came and he tested the battery it was reading 12.4. He checked all the fuses and they all looked good. At this point we noticed the green key icon with the exclamation mark stating low key battery, so we went and changed the fob battery. Still nothing. We tried disconnecting the battery terminals and cleaning them.. still nothing,

At this point he pulled out the cables and tried jumping the car and still nothing... So we went and purchased a new car battery as most forums said to try that. ( even though the current battery is only about 5months old and is after market NOT OEM. ) Tried the new battery and nothing. At this point i noticed the battery icon, engine light and power steering light on my dash.

At this point we had the car Towed to Mazda. Monday morning at 7:45 am mazda calls (fantastic service time btw) and stated that the car started perfectly fine this morning. They assessed and looked at the battery, starter cables, altinator and serpentine? Belt. Also the lights on my dash are all gone. They did change my carbon air filters and engine air filters and didnt charge me for the diagnostics.

My theory is that maybe there's a loose wire somewhere and the tow truck shook it back into position. (thats my uneducated guess lol) Has anyone had any issues like this where changing the battery was not the solution? I'm happy the car is running but im scared it will happen again and I will get stuck again.

EDIT* I want to add that we took the new battery out and returned it and put the old battery back in because it tested fine.

Im curious what other people do in these situations:

Situation 1: Say youre in the change room and two young teen girls who probably dont know any better, set the phone up on the counter in front of the mirror in the change room area not the bathroom and start flexing and posing and taking pics together while others are in the change room changing/getting ready to get on the gym floor. (this happened to me last night and I didnt say anything because I didnt want to come off as a karen but it did kind of bother me a bit. Should have said something to them?

Situation 2: Youre on the gym floor and people are taking selfies or filming and you can very clearly see youre in the backround working out.. in my case a guy was filming himself working out on his ipad and I could see i was in his frame for almost my whole core workout on the mat. I know he wasnt intentionally filming me and prob wanted to see his form but it made me so uncomfortable especially since i could see me in his ipad screen lol. Another time yesterday someone in the mirro flexing taking pics while youre in the backround working out.

Can anyone recc a physio therapist in town that is accepting new patients? Looking for someone who has alot of knowledge with inflammatory conditions.

I've gone to my planet fitness for about 2 and a half years now. ITs the only one in my city, I dont think the closest one is atleast 5 hours away and across a border so It constantly has the same usuals. This might sounds kind of pathetic but over the years Ive noticed a few other girls around my age that work out as much as i do. How should i go about trying to be-friend them without being creepy or weird/annoying or interupting their workout? Im 26 for reference and female. Its hard to make friends these days and especially ones you share an interest with.

Taking my Grandma for lunch tomorrow, and she wants to try somewhere new. She is a little picky (will not eat sushi or anything exotic) Our usual spots are mongo's, madhouse, applebees, JJ's and new york fries. Please share your favourite lunch date spots :)

Can anyone recommend waterproof matts that arnt weather tech $400.00 CAD? Hoping to find a dupe or atleast something a little more fair priced that still do the job and look decent. TIA!

Has any one dealt with Cobourg mazda dealership? I'm looking at purchasing a car with them and curious if any one has had really great or not so great experiences with them?

Does anyone in town do Car glossing? Getting a new car and was curious about it, I have never heard of it but I would love to get it done on my new vehicle.

I'm looking at buying a new car and im hoping to find a new/used Compact SUV. (I have one in mind I want to get, but not sharing as i'm not open to hear every ones opinion on the vehicle LOL) I'm curious what every ones opinions on different dealerships are... who to avoid, who has better rates, who treats their customers the best... All those things. Thanks:)
