Yes, mine was under the frame rust out recall. But since its been in the garage, and not driven on salted roads, its like new.

I have a 2000 Toyota Tacoma in my garage. It only has about 60,000 miles on it. So far the rear springs had to be replaced. The stereo quit and was replaced. The tie rod ends were recalled. The water pump started leaking and I replaced it. Just recently replaced front brakes. The truck has been...

Since you have a check engine light on, you can go to an auto parts store and have them pull the codes for free. There will probably be more than one code, So be ready to write them down. I had the two lights on along with check engine light, and the parts store pulled about 5 codes. All pointed...

Many auto parts stores will pull the code for you for free. Just be ready to write it down. There may be more than one code. My check engine light came on and I had about 5 codes. They all pointed to the same thing. So get the code and let us know. Heater not blowing hot enough. Make sure your...

My car seems to be running the same with the plugs I got from O'reiley auto parts.

Metra makes an adaptor, but has terrible reviews. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L2SJ1WW/?tag=m20b7-20

The 2013 CX-5 does have electric power steering. My guess is the belt broke the alternator was not producing the electricity needed to operate the steering. Sounds like a good thing so you might be able to make to where you are going without using too much of the battery. In other words the...

The part number on the spark plug that came out of the car says PE02 18110

The pic is the spark plug that came out of the car. So looks like the new spark plug does not have the platinum tip. Or least its flat. I don't want to completely waste my $50 on these plugs. So next year I will go to dealer.

I just replaced my spark plugs on my car. I went to a parts house and purchased the NGK ILKAR7L11. I put them in and it seems to be running fine. But the plugs do look different from the ones I took out. It looks normal and you have an electrode coming out of the spark plug. But you also have a...

Definitely shop around. I was with State Farm. I thought they were good. But when I moved from Houston to Portland it was even higher, and it should have gone lower. I decided to go to the progressive website to compare rates. Turn out they were the cheapest. They quoted me about half the price...

I took my car in for an oil change about a year ago. I did not feel there was anything wrong with my brakes, so I thought the only thing that was going to happen was the oil change. They did not say anything to me about my brakes when I was leaving. But when I stepped on the brakes at the first...

I used to have the Coverking seat covers on my car. They fit very nice and tight. But when I took them off for cleaning, I found much more damage to my seat fabric from using the seat covers than I would have by not using them. They then went into the trash.

Recessed exhaust tips are not a bad thing. If you have them extended past the bumper and you back up into anything and it hits the exhaust tip, the damage may not just be limited to the tip. I got rear ended in my 626 and other car hit the muffler. Initially I replaced the muffler, but when...

Make sure your intake hose is on tight and not cracked. Sometimes at a slow speed, then accelerating if the intake hose is not tight it will let air in that is not metered and lean out the air/fuel mixture causing a hesitation.

I went to the Discount Tire website. I put in plus one on tire sizes to get to 18" tires for the CX-5. I do not see 235/60R-18 listed. I do see 225/60-18 listed, and 235/50-18 listed. Also I put in 2016 CX-5 sport FWD... So go the website and type in your exact car for accuracy.

When I bought my CX-5 I was looking at the Mazda6 also. It came down to the size of the vehicles. The Mazda6 is 192.7" in length. The exact length of my garage. So had to go with the shorter CX-5
