    Ford Escape 1.6 EcoBoost on Consumer Report's 10 Least Reliable Cars list

    I had a guy walk up to me at Lowes and ask how I liked my CX-5, he had crossed shopped both and went with the Escape and is not happy with his choice. His is getting 16mpg, his company owned Escape hybrid is getting 30mpg which is about what I'm getting with my CX-5 :)

    Are there any CX5 owners who have NO hood shake?

    I've got 14k on mine and have never seen it. My 67 Shelby's hood would bow up at high speed, I shim'd the back up to let the air escape and the nose settled down. Never saw anyone say they wouldn't buy a Shelby because of it's problems! Last night I took a SEAT taxi to the airport, the...

    My Simple daily CX5

    On Indoneasia's roads the bumps Felix hit's are probably mopeds, traffic is nuts with everyone assuming the other person will give them room. That CX-5 of his is definetly one of the better cars on those roads!

    On Track to Purchase a CX5....then I saw a 2014 Jeep Cherokee

    "realibility may be better" first off I've had none of the issues reported here and have said that I think some are trolls from other manufactures PR departments. Second, the 2014 Cherokee is not related to any other Chrysler/Jeep products and their issues. I once had a Dodge van that by 37,000...

    235/65/17 instead of 225's on stock rims?

    When I went up a size on my CX-7 the biggest differense I noticed was a reduction in tire noise, not in MPG.

    Those Taking Delivery of 2014 CX-5 w/ 2.5L Power Plant

    I didn't think mine was working but dealer said yes, felt it once on a tight exit ramp when it saw a pole just to my left as I turned right. Yesterday it scared the crap out of my wife when we pulled into a parking spot that had a tree limb that would have hung over the hood! We thought we'd hit...

    TomTom still bad?

    1. I don't want to pay for newer bad maps 2. Since I started in NJ I had to enter the zip code 1st or it would look for the address in Ocean City NJ. It accepted OC MD as my distination, it accepted the street, just not the address. Admitedly Coastal highway is called Philadelphia downtown but...

Ist off the maps are awful, the cross street next to my home has the wrong name and TT shows it going off thru the woods...

    Xenon shutters misaligned?

    Back in the 70's we were selling illegal halogens when the law still required sealed beams. On those the right side kicked up at a 45 degree which really lit up your lane but was a problem for oncoming traffic on turns :(

    NAV safety lock with voice commands to be fixed?

    Mine tells my Voice control not available in country selected (USA) Since she doesn't understand half the numbers when I ask her to dial I wouldn't think of using voice control for nav input.
