Hello Everyone,
Tried searching but couldn't really find anything on 2019 Signature CX-5 model. I recently went on a roadtrip up to Mammoth Lakes. During the trip I drove to several national parks and climbed a lot of hills. Average speed, no stop and go, but car had 5 adults. After about 2 hours of driving up a mountain and pulling over for some site seeing, I heard some major boiling under the hood. I popped open the hood and saw that the coolant was boiling enough to cook some noodles. I left the hood open to cool it off while looking around and when I got back the boiling stopped so we continued on our trip. I did some google searching and believe it may be due to higher elevation but wanted to check with the group here. Never experienced this in my previous turbo SUV and I'm planning another roadtrip next month. TIA!
