HI all
[Model: 2020 CX-5 Sport]
Was driving mountain road, one I usually drive which is full of ups and downs and tight turns. I like driving them fast (but not as fast as the pickup trucks) which means my car is doing a lot of accelerating and decelerating in short speeds. I dont do hard brakes or slam the gas, though so don't consider it to be that rough driving. And it's a well paved mountain road, not dirt, so it's not harming the suspension or tires a lot.
Anyway an unusual thing happened today, during a downhill I could feel the engine making a louder humming/whirring noise and I could feel a definite vibration through my foot on the brake pedal. Checked the dash and noticed that I was 'stuck' on 3000 rpm, even though my foot was off the gas (when the needle normally jumps back to 1) , and even for a bit when I was braking, the car was stuck on 3000 rpm. Sport mode was never turned on. After about 30 secs of this, the vibration stopped, the the loud humming stopped, and the needle went back down, everything was normal again.
After pulling into a vista point, I turned off the car and noticed that even though the engine was off, the cooling fans were whirring. I drive mountain roads every week and in the same fashion (35-55 mph) but at 20,000 miles in (bought new), it's the first time I'm hearing this cooling fan after engine off, or experiencing any of the phenomena I described above.
Does anyone have any clue what causes this, or have experienced this themselves? I don't want to break down in the night mountain roads, and when researching into this car one of the great things people said was that it had practically zero engine and transmission issues. Would appreciate if anyone who has more experience on this could provide some insight. Thank you!
