    I wonder if the wiring is daisy chained, so that a failure in one actuator would cascade to the others. Or if feedback from one failing causes the control circuit to cut out.

    I think almost everyone does. They were the best looking DRLs. The current ones are embarrassingly bright and headlight-ish. DRLs are important, but they shouldn't blind oncoming drivers like these do. I wouldn't mind them if the headlight portion was about 2/3 of the current intensity.

    I think you're right.

    Acceleration Times 227HP Vs 250Hp

    No data, just thoughts. 1- Driver is less likely to hammer it as much with 87? Or to put it another way, a driver who doesn't care about that extra power will be a more sedate driver in general. 2- I have heard that lower octane fuel contain slightly, that is SLIGHTLY, less energy content due...

    Acceleration Times 227HP Vs 250Hp

    I haven't done the calc, but I'm agreeing with you in principle. But while the limit approaches zero, it never quite gets there. Not that it matters in any practical sense.

    Sarcasm is often hard for some people to recognize.

    Acceleration Times 227HP Vs 250Hp

    Once you've put that dirty old 87 in there, you'll never get back to pure hi test. It'll just keep getting more and more diluted, but not be totally gone. But I agree, by 6 fill ups, you'll be close enough for government work.

    Anyone else having trouble unlocking their CX-5 with the fob?

    Cold in the morning > stiff grease on actuators?

    Do you have DRLs, Pitter? If so, what do they look like?

    Yeah, I misunderstood yours. Lost in translation... or reading comprehension.(confused)

    But there's less in ethanol, so it makes it worse.

    How often would you meet that quota? Seems excessive. What would happen if you didn't?

    New Owners - Check your Tire PSI

    Was the 41 on the front or back? I'm guessing back if you couldn't tell anything was wrong due to handling, right?

    when does low fuel indicator come on?

    Maybe I missed it, but I don't think anyone has mentioned that the miles remaining changes from tank to tank if your average mileage for the current tank varies. I filled up today, and it told me I had 291 miles remaining on the new tank, because I averaged about 20 on the last tank. I...

    Man I hate driving my CX-5

    The thing is "In the year 1960, the average retail price of gas in the U.S. was $0.31. This is equivalent to $2.65 in 2019 dollars." It's a lot cheaper now, since we get so much better mileage-- who woulda thunk. But maybe fun is more fun when you're young . Love to see you say "ethyl". When...

    Here's an experiment for you: don't hammer it up that hill for an entire tank [if you can stand it!]. See what your mileage is then.

    How about when you try to unlock the passenger door using the interior switch on that door? Or the master interior switch? Interesting problem.

    Left Doors Unlocked

    Mine is the opposite. If the engine is running and I leave the vehicle with the fob in my pocket and shut the door I get the rapid beeps. I avoid the beeping by leaving the door just slightly ajar. The best thing to do anytime you leave the car is to turn the engine off. The last claim I...

    Do the back door switches move like the passenger door switch?
