The exact same thing happened to my wife twice this week. My sons and I have not been able to duplicate it. The symptoms are she presses the brake pedal and she says it acts as if it does not want to depress all the way. She then pushes the start button. The instrument lights come on but it does...
Actually best way to tell if the battery is good is by a load tester. Unfortunately, I don't have one. Good news is just has to get me 15 miles on Monday to the dealership.
Fully charged around 13.4 volts. After charging it on 15 amp charger for 3-1/2 hours and can't get past 98% charged it reads 13.0 volts. Will take another reading in an hour to see if it's losing more as time goes by. Also have a P0882 code which is TCM control module fault which can be caused...
Tried to start my 2014 CX5 2.5L in the airport parking lot after my plane landed last night and the battery was completely dead. The car had been sitting for 5-1/2 days there. Fortunately, I was able to get a jump but when I started it the ABS, TPMS and traction control lights were on and stayed...
On my last oil change it wanted to weep too. Not enough for it to drip but it still bothers me. I may try putting in a copper washer in between stock silver washer the next oil change. Any opinions on this?
Just did my first oil change yesterday. The first one was free at the dealership. The good: The placement of the oil filter and drain plug were spot on. I wish every car was like that.
The bad: Didn't know it took an 8mm male hex. Fortunately, I had an 8mm hex key which I used. It took a lot...
My Bluetooth, USB and Pandora all went out yesterday too for the second time in 3 months. Rather than unplugging the battery and doing a reset that way again, I took it into the dealer. They told me their is no TSB on it. They did look at it and said the "module" was acting flakey and ordered a...
They are on there pretty good too. I had to use my 1/2" drive wrench. They are also the reverse torx bolts. All the major auto parts stores should carry the sockets. I think I got mine at Advance.
The front seats are easy. 4 bolts and disconnect the harness below the seat. I also first disconnected my battery and let the car sit for a couple minutes just to be sure the airbags were disabled.
Same thing happened to my car. Disconnect the battery as damieljw states. Mine did it a few weeks ago. Hasn't done it since but I'll discuss it with the dealer when I take it in for its first 5000 mile service this week.
My Bluetooth actually froze up on me. It would get stuck trying to connect and the Bluetooth, Pandora and USB tabs were grayed out. I was out of town so I ended up calling my dealer. They advised to disconnect the battery for a couple minutes. Fortunately, that worked. It's been two weeks now...
This would be a worthwhile option to add if it works. With my BMW and Altima you don't have to take the fob out of your pocket to unlock the door. That's so much more convenient.
Saw this on ebay this morning:

Automatic folding side mirrors. There was a thread a few weeks ago about some members looking to try and add this option. Maybe this is the answer.
