Interesting. What does the *1 say on the severe schedule?

Did you have issues with your original battery before adding the dashcams?

I'm not seeing any micro scratches in your picture, it just looks like dirty water spots. Get a picture of the sun or flash light reflection after you wash it. As for the clay bar, it will not remove micro scratches and it's actually not uncommon that clay barring actually induces marring (i.e...

Did you have to unplug any sensors? I'm thinking along the lines of low brake fluid level sensor. Speaking of, how is the brake fluid level?

Got any pictures? I agree with both of the above posts. PPF will provide quite a bit more protection, but costs more. Ceramic will add a tiny bit more protection, but costs less. For the ceramic, I know a lot of companies push the hardness of the coating, but I think the big benefit is that...

No it's not. While I don't live in tropical climate, heat and humidity is common during summer months. I've never had a chemical flush on any of my vehicles and they've all worked fine. It may improve it, but I've never noticed any obvious degradation in A/C performance (unless it completely...

Anytime you touch/move suspension/steering components, you should check the alignment. May not need one, but worth checking. Question: why are you replacing front sway bar? Do you already have an aftermarket rear? From my experience, most people go the rear sway bar only route to...

If it just started with the new tires, sounds like you didn't get a good balance on one or more of the wheels/tires. That shield should not have any impact on a shake/shimmy. It's fixed to (I think) the spindle.

I agree with checking wheel bearings first. My wife's 09 had 2x rear bearings replaced in the 185k miles she had it. Not sure if they were the same one, but I replaced one myself last spring. I knew what it was right away when driving it. When I jacked it up, I could spin the rear wheel and...

It doesn't have to be good bye. We got rid of my wife's 09 CX9 last October and I still visit this site at least a few times a week. Most of the time just seeing what's happening with these (CX5 and CX9 mostly).

And if you think about it, since the Nitrogen is a larger molecule, you lose more (percentage wise) of the smaller molecules over time. So, by repeatedly refilling with the 78%, you're essentially increasing the overall Nitrogen % and therefore losing less pressure over time. (hahah......while...

I always try to go the route of seeing front of the vehicle in my rear view mirror (the one on the windshield) in the next lane before merging. That way I'm sure to be passed the vehicle and not make them feel like I'm cutting them off. Plus, with more vehicles having sensing cruise control, it...

What he said. To add, I've heard of batteries working/failing intermittently. They test good, but sometimes have an internal failure (short) that is not always present.

Looks to me like you're missing the sway bar link (bottom right in your video) You can see the bar jump when the clunk sounds. Likely contacting the control arm. Get one of those installed and I bet your sound goes away.

I believe 4wd flashing means there's a fault in the AWD system and reverts to just FWD. How many miles on your CX9? What tires?

Since this was bumped up, figured I'd add my 2c as well. My wife's previous '09 CX9 had this same issue. Hers started out as lights coming on turning one direction and turning off going the other. Brought it into the dealer and they said it was low on brake fluid, which they said was a master...

You know, I noticed the same thing about the Premier LTX's I had installed on my Explorer a few years ago. The OE Hankooks were quiet and smooth all the way to 70K miles, but they were terrible in the snow, so they had to be replaced before winter. The Premier LTX's are lightyears ahead of the...

My opinion, they stick out too far.

Since the key was in the suitcase, was the vehicle preventing you from locking the key inside? It may not have been close enough to the ignition to start, but was still detected.

This is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this thread.
