    Key FOB Doesn't Lock Doors (2023 CX-5)

    Not very helpful for your question, but I press the button on the door handle to lock my car every time. I wouldn't trust walk away and hope.

    Guide CX-5 Battery Installation

    I think I may have only ever once used a battery warranty, and that was Costco being generous. Batteries seem to last 5+ years for me. I'm still on my original in my 2018. The Costco battery in my tractor may be 10 years old by now. I don't really consider the warranty except maybe as a...

    CX-70 will have same exterior dimensions as CX-90

    I don't see CX-70 taking many sales from CX-5 if it is just a 2-row CX-90. I want a version of the CX-60 I guess, which thought the CX-70 was going to be.

    CX-70 will have same exterior dimensions as CX-90

    Well now I'm hoping they put a plugin hybrid in the CX-5 and up its towing capacity. That's really what I want. I'm fine if its a little bigger but I don't need a car the size of a CX-90.

    How to Clean Out Brake Fluid Reservoir? 2015 CX-5

    That sounds right, and I went in with the mission of getting the job done. My few minutes of poking around didn't reveal a clear process to getting a syringe or tube deep enough into the fluid reservoir to matter.

    2019 CX-5 Brake light flashing after 2 week vacation

    Yeah, funny thing is that it is less time and hassle for me to do something like that myself than to schedule appointment, travel to and from, and wait for the dealer. Plus I know it will be done correctly - or at least I am a witness to what transpired - when I do it myself. That's all aside...

    How to Clean Out Brake Fluid Reservoir? 2015 CX-5

    Normally as part of a brake job I bleed the brakes until everything runs clear. The first step for that is sucking the fluid from above the master cylinder so I don't have to pull it all the way through the system. On my CX5, it was difficult to get much of anything out of the reservoir, so I...

    CX-5 Brake Caliper pin lube question

    Thanks for the suggestions. I started to comment on the name of one of those, but thought better of it. Definitely not from the US.

    CX-5 Brake Caliper pin lube question

    Sounds like an impressive product. I have a lifetime supply of brake job lubrication materials, but still may need to buy this next time. But I object to the marketing on the tube. They shouldn't be able to say "Pure Silicone" unless the tube contains 100% silicone. What is that supposed to...

    CX-5 Brake noise after replacing rotors and pads

    Notices it doesn't say "pins": "Backing plates, brake pad contact points, caliper o-rings, calipers, disc brake pads, drum brake systems, grommets, parking brake areas of lubrication, pivot points, self adjusters"

    Clear Gas! Worth the $$$ or not?

    If I had the turbo I would probably use 87. The way I drive I think it would be difficult to tell the difference. Here, ethanol free is only available as high octane premium and is expensive. I buy it for my small engines, add stabilizer, and don't sweat too much about overwintering.
