Thanks very much to all of you for indulging my issue. Well it took four years to reach this point and of course now it is fixed so I'm not going to try to change vehicles in the near term but when I do I will certainly look at Toyotas.

Well the repair is complete and the car is back on the road. Here is an image of the replaced parts (one side). The service manager admitted that no my car is not designed to resist rough roads so I should buy a CX-50 which IS (...he says). Maybe but I wonder if the componants replaced on mine...

Thank you Redbaron.

Although it will be Greek (actually Spanish) to most including me I'm adding the estimate. Brazos" are arms so I imagine referring to the control arm.

A video at the dealership. Both front shocks to be replaced and some other front suspension components. $1,600. This with 33,000 miles on the car. Clearly the CX-5 suspension does not hold up when subjected to travel over unpaved road conditions. Driving this same road I have owned a Suzuki...

I took it to the deeler today. A service person test drove it with me on city streets. Fortunately for this test there are some rough streets near the dealership and he was able to perceive some of the rattling from right front. He was taking right angle turns on streets hard but it wouldn't...

Thank you. Must have gotten switched at the car wash and I never noticed.

The interior door handle on the passenger side rear door won't open the door. The outside handle for that door works fine. All doors unlocked. What's up?

I've pinned the issue down a little better. What's happening is that it is oversteering when taking curves and as I said ll four tires are properly topped up. A bit un nerving.

Thanks for that, yes could be bad shock/s.

My Signature has started to feel slightly squirrly as if I have a really low tire somewhere but all four are at correct pressure. There is some clunking on the rough unpaved road I drive over daily I think from the right front but not sure. I'm wondering if some suspension component has come...

Thank you I will!

About an hour ago the volume for the radio (probably phone too) went silent. Could I have touched something to mute it? Trying everything I could I found the station search function doesn't work either. Have there been radio/volume issues with the infotainment system? More importantly is there...

How long would you leave the engine idling with the AC on in hot weather? What risk to engine?

Thanks for the replies. Unlike many of you I never deal with snow or ice, mud yes. I have the popular Falken Trail tires and they have made a noticable difference over stock tires on slippery stuff. Skidoo I'm guessing you mean front and rear locking axels rather than locking hubs.

I watched a YouTube video of a test of a 2023 with the "Off Road" feature. It apparently prevented wheelspin and loss of traction when the car climbed a short quite steep slope that the testers said had a damp or wet surface. It was impressive but I've found my car without the new feature will...
