    I'm buying a CX-5

    And you are paying for that. We have 3 people on a 3gb shared plan for $35/month total. Unlimited plans plans are ~$135/month. Yes, I'm that cheap. :) My in-laws still have flip phones (which are very cheap), so they use built-in nav on their vehicles.

    Anyone have this gunk in engine bay and know how to clean it?

    Good to hear something works to remove it. I was going to suggest maybe a wheel cleaner. Those can sometimes remove grime that other products can't (and are typically safe on paint).

    2022 CX-9 Loss of acceleration…Anyone else?

    I agree with PTguy but also, you should be within the factory warranty so let dealer deal with it(?).

    2007~2015 CX-9 TCS and ABS Light Issue

    I would also scan for codes. Could be a bad sensor. Also, check brake fluid level. My wife's old CX9 had something similar and she was low on brake fluid. Topped it off and all lights went off.

    CX-5 Premium Plus Engine leaking oil

    Are you saying your CX5 stopped working 2x due to the oil weep/seep?

    2016 CX-5: Water keeps dripping out of tailgate handle area

    Is this on your 2106.5 CX5? If so, I think the problem is that it hasn't been built yet, so there is actually no water.;) But seriously, I'd start with pulling the plastics on the interior as Kedis said. Then you can spray water across the hatch area and see where it's coming in.

    2016.5 CX-5 FWD: 60K mile service, all of these needed?

    👆 what he said. Personally, the only thing I might have done at a dealer is the brake fluid, mainly so all the fluid can be exchanged (including cycling the ABS pump).

    Dealer $$ Cost CX-5

    I was thinking the same. If he is truly getting ~$5k off a $46k MSRP, that's not a bad deal, but the numbers don't add up. I searched new inventory around me (Minneapolis) and the highest MSRP is 43690. Maybe the CX5 the OP is looking at has a bunch (or all) of factory options that increase...

    Which trim level for new CX-5?

    Those are loaded questions. :) For me, personally when I was looking at the CX5 back in 2020, I was eying up the Grand Touring Reserve. The turbo was a requirement. I test drove both the GTR and Signature and I couldn't see spending more on the Signature at the time. GTR gave all the features...

    At my wits end... *May contain complaints 😉

    I think AWD ‘lock’ that Boby@ is talking about is not locking all diffs, just applying power to the front/rear diffs together like a traditional 4WD system (i.e. transfer case). The front and rear diffs would still function normally (open or limited slip). My mom’s old (2006?) Escape had that...

    At my wits end... *May contain complaints 😉

    Sliding in snow, 95% sure it's the tires, 4% is the specific conditions and the last 1% is the car. (all those are made up, but I do believe it's very little to do with the vehicle and mostly tires). I can say for certain the OE tires on my 14 Explorer and 18 Edge were terrible in the snow, even...

    Control Arm Shears off on a 2023 CX-50 with 2k miles

    Bumping an old thread. Coming up on 5 months since this issue happened, any word on resolution?

    Just got a 2024 CX-5 for my wife, lasted 2 days

    I was thinking the same thing. Makes you wonder which bot created thread.

    2007~2015 CX-9 Engine misfire or trans slipping or something else...

    My wife's old 09 CX9 did something similar and it turned out to be a misfire. It seemed to happen more at low rpm under load while the torque converter was locked (i.e. accelerating slightly on the freeway). I could see the misfire counts go up on one of the cylinders when the shudder happened...

    Why is my interior fogging up? (2020 CX-9)

    Been a few weeks since your last post, how's the fogging? I was going to ask when the last time you checked/changed the cabin filter. Maybe it was wet/damp and after sitting for a few weeks it dried off.
