    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Check out quartz heaters. They're safe and much warmer than equivalent electric heaters.

    2017 CX-5 GT Not downshifting upon acceleration randomly

    How hard are you pressing on the accelerator when leaving the turn? Have you experimented with more or less throttle, faster pressing on the pedal? It sounds like you're not stomping on it when leaving the turn. Does it not downshift even when you do stomp on it? These are questions you'll...

    Engine Doesn't Idle Down Right Away When Coming To A Stop

    I would check around the pedal hinge on the floor. Dirt or debris could be interfering with it returning fully.

    Lateral Rocking Motion

    Agreed, the thumbs needs the power to communicate easily. That must be one hell of a rough road. You can be the 2020 torture tester. We'll see how it holds up. You could try some heavier aftermarket anti-sway bars.

    My dealership made an "oops"

    ^This. Generalizations always have exceptions. That's why they're called generalizations.

    Best place to list a used car?

    Private sale is best for sure, consignment at a used dealer next best. Dealing with buyers on CL can be a real hassle [or not].

    Warming up the engine on cold starts

    Yes, but the point is the poorly lubricated time is shorter when you drive rather than idle, so the overall "damage" is reduced. And I agree, it's not that big a deal one way or the other. There is a period of poor lubrication no matter what. By the time I'm settled in, buckled up, phone...

    Excessive Brake Fade When Fully Loaded

    If your steering wheel is shaking, that indicates that the rotors are warping when hot as well. I'd give it a whole new brake job, pads and rotors. It's not something to take chances with.

    Driving In Snow With AWD

    If you have snow tires, you won't have to worry about any of that. Even on a fairly steep street. Just drive. If you don't have snow tires, consider staying home. I also live on a steep street [20% max grade]. I don't mount snow tires because it snows about twice a year here, and it gets...

    Cleaning LCD screen

    Clean it just like your phone or your glasses. A dry soft cloth or lens tissue should do it unless you touch with exceptionally dirty fingers. A soft cloth with water if that doesn't work. Lens cleaning solution as a last resort.
