Get a grip people!!! (gah)
I just crunched a few numbers.
One million CX-5 had been constructed last May (almost a year ago), so just for the sake of simplifying things, let's say we have one million CX-5 on the road with an average of 20k miles on them (older models will have more, newer will have less). That means that there has been 20 billion miles driven in CX-5s with not a single incident. So as it stands right now, assuming that the very next mile driven in any CX-5 anywhere in the world results in death or injury because of this, you still have one chance in 20 billion of hurting you kid by driving him/her to school or to the groceries. And since I doubt the next mile driven by a CX-5 will result in death or injury, these odds actually are getting better in your favor with each passing minute that goes by from the moment I post this!
Now, in any given hour, someone has an average of one chance in 6 billion of getting struck by lightning. That' worse than driving a mile in a CX-5!
For the love of God, please stop bringing your kids to the park! Oh the humanity! (nailbyt)
Get a free loaner from the dealer just because you can if you want to, but stop kidding yourselves that you are protecting anyone by doing so. I'll be taking my chances with my AWD CX-5 with Nokian winter tires in today's snow storm, thank-you...
