    Coolant Boiling Normal?

    I checked under the hood and checked the coolant level while the car had time to settle down throughout the day. I noticed the coolant was filled above the Full line from dealer so not sure if that poses any issues. The hose inside the reservoir is submerged below the filled coolant as well...

    Coolant Boiling Normal?

    Temp gauge showed normal operating temps which is why I continued to drive the vehicle. The boiling was happening inside the coolant reservoir. Doesn't sound like that should be happening so I'll schedule a visit before my road trip.

    Coolant Boiling Normal?

    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...

    Weird Noise from Suspension Going Over bumps at low speed '19 CX-5 GTR

    I recently had something similar that I posted here about as well. It started off with a significant clunk sound from my front end when reversing while turning my steering. It gradually got worse and turned into a constant clicking noise when going over slight bumps and especially bad while...

    2019 Sig Clicking Noise From Front End and Brake Squeal

    The cowl is the area between engine and cabin where the windshield wipers and dashboards are. Apparently, the tech tightened the bolts around that area for safe measure as he tightened my suspension bolts.

    360 view in Signature

    I have the same deal but it's still much quicker than my previous '17 Santa Fe Sport Ultimate. The screen would often go black for a few minutes so I usually just take off and ignore the infotainment until it completely loads. So in comparison to that, the CX-5 isn't all too bad as the reverse...

    2019 Sig Clicking Noise From Front End and Brake Squeal

    So dealer tech was able to replicate the sound and corrected it by tightening the suspension and cowl bolts. A bit surprised as I didn't think suspension bolts would come loose during my 4 months of ownership. Only thing I did with this vehicle was go on a road trip to Mammoth Lakes which is...

    2019 Sig Clicking Noise From Front End and Brake Squeal

    Dropped off the vehicle at my local dealer and explained to the service rep about the clicking noises. Took him for a ride so he can hear it, but of course, when you're at the dealer the issue is magically resolved. Fortunately, I drove a bit further as I heard it almost the entire drive to the...

    2019 Sig Clicking Noise From Front End and Brake Squeal

    Couldn't record the clicking with my phone as it doesn't pick up on the sound very well. Also, checked the lug nuts, anything loose, and visually inspected the suspension for cracks but saw nothing wrong. The clicking is too often for me to think it's normal as it happens when I'm slowly pulling...

    2019 Sig Clicking Noise From Front End and Brake Squeal

    Hello Everyone, I have a 2019 Signature model that I noticed is clicking from the front end of the vehicle. The past month I only heard the clicking when reversing out from my garage onto a flat pavement and it was just once while turning the wheel. Recently it's developed to clicking a lot...

    Signature mpg

    I have a roadtrip coming up soon too so I'm hoping I can see similar mpg as you have. I average 19 mpg with 80% city driving in SoCal and will be driving up to the mountains in NorCal next week.

    I have a '19 Sig and I honestly don't hear much engine noise. I would actually enjoy a more throatier engine noise when stepping on it. Road noise on the other hand is there but nothing that doesn't get drowned out. Love driving the Sig and haven't experienced any issues with a harsh ride. First...

    2017~2024 2017- CX-5 shifter trim?

    I would be very careful when buying this off of ebay. I purchased from two different sellers and got my money back for both because once I received the item it looked nothing like that picture. Extremely thin and crappy metal plate that has a rainbow color when light reflects off of it. It uses...

    CX5 Signature Reverse Automatic Braking

    Had the same experience which surprised the hell out of me. I was actually maneuvering around a stopped vehicle which my CX-5 must've felt I was too close for comfort. But to answer the OP's question, it does not auto brake in reverse only from the front. Although, I would hope nobody drives...

    2017~2024 How bright are your 2018/2019 headlights?

    As others have stated, they are very nice and bright. My previous vehicle was a 2017 Santa Fe Sport Ultimate that had HID projectors with halogen high beam. First of all, they were aimed too low and when I adjust it the thing wouldn't stay and slowly move downwards. I felt it wasn't as bright in...
