My 2019 NA 2.5L has coolant below the Low marker. I haven’t had any issues yet (it’s still below freezing around here) but would there be any issue if I mixed the OEM stuff with something from Autozone? It’s the blue type coolant. Not sure if I should go to the dealer and have them top it off...

I’m on the east coast also near NYC so yes it’s held up fine during the hot summer months, rain storms and even now with the extreme cold. Also I put some on the borders and on between the reflector and the bumper itself and quickly wiped away excess. If you let it dry, it leaves very nasty...

The interesting thing I’ve noticed is if the engine hasn’t fully warmed up yet and the heat is on full, the engine temperature actually drops back down while idling. But that’s because the heat is actually delivered from hot radiators and makes sense if it cools down.

I had the same issue last year as I backed up into a bank of frozen snow. Luckily only the reflector came out of place. I used this: J-B Weld 50139 Plastic Bonder Body Panel Adhesive and Gap Filler Syringe - Black - 25 ml https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IBOK7FE/ I took off the panels on the back...

Has anyone else noticed that the CX5 actually has louvres guards protecting the AC Condenser? Here are some photos with the guards 'opened' up. I've noticed that mine has been open or stays open while driving. I haven't been using the AC or the Heat but I do note that this used to be closed or...

Same thing happens here on my 2019 NA engine (same engine as your Sport). If I drive spiritedly, the cooling fans do come on and stay on even with the engine off.

Absolutely. The car is a lease, I have about 5 months left but I am planning on buying this out. My only regret is not leasing a turbo model.

I asked for a loaner however they were all booked until end of December. I’d rather just get this done. Thankfully I had a family member come and pick me up. I just picked up the car and the AC works now. I didn’t realize we had some sort of protective plastic in front of the condenser. That’s...

A quick update; I dropped off the car at the dealership that I brought it from. Turns out the condenser was damaged and leaked out the Freon. They will be replacing it under warranty which I am really excited for. Leaving the car there overnight but no way for me to get back home!

Here is a screenshot of the dealers scheduling system stating that they do indeed charge a diagnostic fee. What baffles me is, how would I know if my issue falls under warranty. I’ve been burned before by Honda and had to pony up the $150 for diagnostics fee. Who decides if it falls under...

I appreciate this write up. I’m going to take it in sometime next week or the next week. The Honda issue was “something hit the condenser which causes a leak” and they refused to fix it under warranty. I’ll schedule sometime with the dealer soon since I need to have a state inspection done...

I have had the same thing in my 2016 Honda Civic. They still charged me a diagnostic fee just to take a look at the car. It was the condenser that was leaking however I wasn’t able to prove that it wasn’t my fault (dealer wouldn’t acknowledge anything) here’s a class action suit against Honda...

Looks like the AC compresssor may have crapped out on my 2019 Touring with only 24k miles. Realized it a couple days that the AC button wasn’t clearing the humidity/fog from the windows as fast and with the weather in the low 70s, the AC kept blowing lukewarm air into the cabin. I’ve taken a...

What if we’re out in the snow just trying to have some fun in a open field with traction control off?

Ah sorry to see this. Before cutting the airbags to see out the right side, did you add the rental car to your insurance? Try getting a rental before touching anything before the insurance adjustor checks out the car.

This scares me. This week with the 12 inches of snow we got in the northeast, I also got stuck on a uphill road in a bank of snow. Thankfully with a bit of shoveling around the wheels with most traction, I was able to get the car out but I did rev it up to 5k a bit but only for a few seconds...

This. I had a 99 Volkswagen Jetta with a manual transmission years back and I miss it. I drove the car. No nonsense electronics to help me drive the car, it did what you wanted it to do and when. All you needed to do was learn how the car wants to be driven. Got close to 30-35mpg city/highway...
