Thanks for the reply. The noise is quite disturbing. Whenever it happens I think my windshield has cracked.

Hi there. I have a 2013 CX-5 with a sunroof and often when I’m driving I’ll hear a loud crack that seems to come from the roof area. When it happens, my first reaction is that something hit the roof like a rock or maybe a seed pod from a tree. When I check the roof, the hood and the...

I have a similar situation with my 2013 model. Passenger side colder than driver side. I suspect it’s an actuator door issue because in the winter, if I run the heater or even set the vents to outside air only the driver side vents will blow cooler than passenger side. The door is probably...

I always suggest this when someone has this problem: Check if there are any articles of clothes like jeans or jackets that have pockets in the car. I saw a video a while ago where a car detailer had to clean an extremely dirty car and the owner told him that the car starts even though there’s...

Danger Will Robinson! I don’t see a volume knob. I saw a speaker icon on the bottom right hand corner of the display but I didn’t see any up/down arrows or a slider control.

Without knowing the texture of the white blobs (greasy, crusty, gooey) it kind of looks like white lithium grease. I don’t know why anyone would use that in the engine bay.

The definition of these terms are fluid and depends on who you ask. From what I’ve read, SUV originated with vehicles that were adapted from”real” trucks that had body on frame construction. The term CUV referred to vehicles that had unibody construction like cars. I remember when vehicles...

This seems to be the trend with the manufacturers to spell out the company name instead of using the emblem.

I have a 2013 and I can’t say I’ve gotten used to it but it doesn’t cause me to freak out when it beeps. I know I’m not drifting into the other lane so it takes a millisecond for me realize what’s going on.

In the video above the person doing the ATF flush and filter takes care not to scratch or gouge the metal surfaces that might lead to leaks. In this video, the mechanic uses a metal scraper and a wire brush to remove the RTV. Lol.

Thanks for the insight. Here’s the video that I watched. He seems to know what he’s doing and he is changing the filter.

I just watched a video on how to change the transmission fluid on the CX-5 and, wow, that’s complicated. The guy took the bottom of the pan off so that he could drain all of the old fluid. If he didn’t do that, only half the fluid would drain out. He then scraped off the old RTV from the two...

Coulda been worse.

Unfortunately I don’t think there is a way to get rid of the scratches in the plastic. They look too deep. As for the headliner, try a foaming cleaner. It won’t leave too much liquid behind and it will cling to the fabric. Then just lightly brush it in and dab off the residue. If it doesn’t...

Hooray! I’m curious if you were able to see the ring with the endoscope.

My 2013 developed a bad bearing on the rear driver’s side about 5 years ago. Other than that, no issues.

I played around with using an old smartphone as a dash cam with an app to mimic the features of the dash cam. It worked ok. I did attach a wide angle lens to the phone camera to increase the field of view. Since it was a test, I just propped the phone up between the windshield and the...

If you’re referring to the dark red rectangular object, it looks like it might be a roof or some other part of a building past the white canopy. I think most rear cameras are meant to be installed at the top of the glass and is angled to point downward. If it was installed at the bottom, the...

Some suggestions on where to search: Check in between the seat and the center console. The space is tight and it might have lodged in between instead of falling to the floor. Check the cut outs in the carpet underneath the seats used to route cables and wires up to the seat. If you have any...

Did you lose some electronic/battery powered device in the past that might be hiding under a seat in the car or in the glovebox?
