- 2023 CX5 turbo
Yesterday hit a black bear. Bear 1 cx5 turbo 0. bear jumped out of the brush on a narrow winding road and even tho I was able to brake hard still nailed it. It did 5 or 6 barrel rolls down the highway and ran off. Damage looks minor but body shop estimated between $2500-3000 to fix. could have been worse no sheet metal damage or headlights or intercooler or radiator damage so that was good.
he pointed out something to me that I had not noticed before and he said it is on all cx5's that he has fixed. on both back panels above the rear triangle windows are a couple of little indents. you have to look just right down the side at them to see them but once you see them you can't unsee them. He said it is where they most hold the sheet metal at the factory he said every one is like that. It came up because he asked if I knew of any other daage and I said there is none and he said I can show you a couple dents and sure as sh&t there they were.
