    CX-5 Feels squirrelly

    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...

    CX-5 Radio Volume went silent. Help!

    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...

    CX-5 AWD Traction

    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.

    CX-5 AWD Traction

    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...

    CX-5 Surviving Rough Roads

    In August I will have had my Signature, purchased in 2019 for four years. Taking into account the 3.7 miles of rough unpaved road I drive more or less daily (to get to paved road and back) and taking time out for some trips I estimate about 1250 miles a year on rough road. There are now after...

    Using Second Gear Down Long Hill

    This has been discussed before and I apologise but I've forgot and can't find the thread. Is using engine breaking (such as it is with the automatic) on a long downhill stretch deletirious to the engine in any way (though applying the brake when it reaches 3500 RPM or so)?

    Sluggish Downshift Circumstances (2020 CX-5)

    I have a 2020 Signature with which I am generally pleased as punch but I have been caught completely off guard too many times when trying to pass slow moving trucks without having engaged "Sport Mode". Typically I am following said slow moveing truck uphill with the transmission having shifted...

    2023 CX-5 Turbo vs Premium Plus

    I don't know why anyone would buy a non turbo CX 5 unless they just can't afford it. I have a 2020 Signature purchased in Colombia, South America and while there have been some surprise maintenance costs , nothing related to the engine...so far/

    CX-5 Driving Comparison Turbo vs Non-Turbo

    I happily own a 2020 Signature Turbo but I'm curious. Does anyone here have experience driving both versions? How would you compare the driving experience, regarding acceleration and so on?

    Dodge says CX-5 is the only Hornet's competitor

    So there was the Hudson Hornet then the AMC Hornet and now the Dodge Hornet. Ok to recycle names I guess. After all here we have the Renault/Dacia Duster recycling the 70s Plymouth name. Of course in the 70s the name meant it would "dust off" the competition. Renault/Dacia's chouce choice name...

    Only one all-terrain tire that is factory size for a 2021 CX-5 Signature?

    I installed Falken Wildpeak A/T a week ago, I think they are the best thing you can do for a Signature that does non highway travel. Like them very much. Only "off road" option for 19 inch I've found in my my neck of the woods (Colombia, South America),

    Do you use wheel locks?

    Very happy with new Falken AT/Trail 19" tires but I do a lot of unpaved road driving.
