    Possible VVT Solenoid issue

    Hi everyone, I had posted the other day about my 2014 acting odd. It's quite down on power and just acting really sluggish. I went out today and just poked around it a bit. I unhooked the battery, cleaned the MAF sensor, and removed the engine cover and just looked around. Upon doing this I...

    2014 is acting...Odd

    Hey everyone. I apologize in advance as this post may be a bit vague, but I am trying to figure out what my 2014 is doing. I bought the car brand new and have cared for it quite well. It now has 101,000kms on it, or around 60k miles. I'm starting to become aware that the car isn't acting the...

    faulty shifter acc switch? Radio staying on

    Not really sure how to describe this, I've got a 2014 CX-5. You know how if you hold the shifter to the right when shutting the car off, the radio will remain on? Mine is occasionally doing that without holding the shifter over. Seems like the switch needs to be adjusted or something. Anyone...

    Something loose in steering?

    Dealer Scheduled Maintenance

    Hi, I just called my dealer to make an oil change appointment and he threw me for a loop saying the vehicles one year service is due, where they basically pull the breaks apart, inspect and lube them and a couple other things along with the oil change for $230. Sounds steep to me, the car only...

    engine oil rise GAS engine

    Hello everyone, I'm seeing lots of posts covering oil rise with the diesel engine however I just checked my 2.5 gas today and its showing way over the full mark.

    Ebay Radios

    I'm noticing that ebay has a lot of radios with a ton more options that fit the cx-5 that have navigation, sd card slot, DVD player, pretty much the works.. I'm wondering if anyone has tried one of these? do they retain the backup camera and the vehicle settings screen? Might be worth an...

    Ive had my CX-5 GS (sport) since the first weekend in July, and since that time I've adjusted my seat in some way just about every time I drive the vehicle and it seems I cannot find a comfortable position! This may end up being a deal breaker for me in an otherwise very nice vehicle. Anyone...

    Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

    Hello everyone, I know this is a small gripe, I was a bit annoyed when I test drove my CX-5 that it didn't have RAP, but I bought it anyway.. Well I discovered today that the drivers power window will still go up and down until I open the door, so there is RAP on that part of it, but how about...

On first startup in the morning there seems to be much more noise coming from the exhaust, but almost like the noise is coming from the engine bay area for 15-20 seconds then the noise goes away and becomes much quieter. I made a...
