Another MN fella here. First question, where do you live? If you're like me and live in Minneapolis/St. Paul area, a decent all season/weather tire is usually fine since the roads are typically cleared within a day of snow. Ideally, as previously said, a separate set of wheel/tires for winter...

And you are paying for that. We have 3 people on a 3gb shared plan for $35/month total. Unlimited plans plans are ~$135/month. Yes, I'm that cheap. :) My in-laws still have flip phones (which are very cheap), so they use built-in nav on their vehicles.

Good to hear something works to remove it. I was going to suggest maybe a wheel cleaner. Those can sometimes remove grime that other products can't (and are typically safe on paint).

I agree with PTguy but also, you should be within the factory warranty so let dealer deal with it(?).

I would also scan for codes. Could be a bad sensor. Also, check brake fluid level. My wife's old CX9 had something similar and she was low on brake fluid. Topped it off and all lights went off.

Are you saying your CX5 stopped working 2x due to the oil weep/seep?

Is this on your 2106.5 CX5? If so, I think the problem is that it hasn't been built yet, so there is actually no water.;) But seriously, I'd start with pulling the plastics on the interior as Kedis said. Then you can spray water across the hatch area and see where it's coming in.

👆 what he said. Personally, the only thing I might have done at a dealer is the brake fluid, mainly so all the fluid can be exchanged (including cycling the ABS pump).

I was thinking the same. If he is truly getting ~$5k off a $46k MSRP, that's not a bad deal, but the numbers don't add up. I searched new inventory around me (Minneapolis) and the highest MSRP is 43690. Maybe the CX5 the OP is looking at has a bunch (or all) of factory options that increase...

Those are loaded questions. :) For me, personally when I was looking at the CX5 back in 2020, I was eying up the Grand Touring Reserve. The turbo was a requirement. I test drove both the GTR and Signature and I couldn't see spending more on the Signature at the time. GTR gave all the features...

I think AWD ‘lock’ that Boby@ is talking about is not locking all diffs, just applying power to the front/rear diffs together like a traditional 4WD system (i.e. transfer case). The front and rear diffs would still function normally (open or limited slip). My mom’s old (2006?) Escape had that...

Sliding in snow, 95% sure it's the tires, 4% is the specific conditions and the last 1% is the car. (all those are made up, but I do believe it's very little to do with the vehicle and mostly tires). I can say for certain the OE tires on my 14 Explorer and 18 Edge were terrible in the snow, even...

Bumping an old thread. Coming up on 5 months since this issue happened, any word on resolution?

I was thinking the same thing. Makes you wonder which bot created thread.

My wife's old 09 CX9 did something similar and it turned out to be a misfire. It seemed to happen more at low rpm under load while the torque converter was locked (i.e. accelerating slightly on the freeway). I could see the misfire counts go up on one of the cylinders when the shudder happened...

Been a few weeks since your last post, how's the fogging? I was going to ask when the last time you checked/changed the cabin filter. Maybe it was wet/damp and after sitting for a few weeks it dried off.

I'd say Florida is worse on batteries due to the high temps. Both extremes are bad, but hot is worse. Cold temps cause lower cranking power, but high temps are more likely to damage the battery. I've used Everstart batteries a few times, including motorcycle and one of my vehicles. They...

I've never experienced that with Amazon. Coincidentally I purchased something from Amazon on Saturday as well and everything lines up. I have had some odd 'charges' that show up for a transaction, but are later refunded. They show up as a separate charge though. My understanding is sometimes a...

Every time I hear Dacia, I think of James May. But to answer the OP, I think the first car I officially drove for driver training was a mid-90's Mazda 323 (I think). Something small, no power steering or power brakes. After that 90% of my driving was a 1991 Toyota Camry until I got my...

Clarification, it's not the PSI, it's the air flow, but I agree, with the CX5, the N/A and turbo use the same air filter, so you'll pull in more debris with the turbo due to the potentially higher air flow (really depends on how you drive). Jumping on my soapbox.....changing filter too often is...
