    Loud engine tick

    Might go away with 5w-30, Chrysler has a similar problem with their hemi engines with CDA, people report the problem going away when bumping up to 5w-30. Can't hurt.

I thought, what the heck, must be a fluke set, had to file them down a bit to get them to fit. The second set went into the back of my CX5, and they were a real...

    Guide: Maintenance Mode for 2016 / 2017 CX-5 electronic brakes

    New CX-5 pulls to the right even though alignment is good
