- 2017 CX-5 GT AWD
Consumer Reports annual auto issue just landed in my mailbox. I was surprised to find the 2017 CX-5 reliability rated significantly lower than that of the 2016 CX-5. Overall, the 2017 was average and the 2016 much better than average. The 2017 was rated average for:
Climate System - blower motor, A/C compressor, condenser, evaporator, heater system, automatic climate control, refrigerant leakage, electrical failure
Noises/Leaks - squeaks or rattles, seals and/or weather stripping, air or water leaks, wind noise
Body Hardware - windows, locks and latches, tailgate, doors, mirrors, seat controls, seat belts, glass defect
In-Car Electronics - audio systems, navigation system, backup camera/sensors, communications system
whereas the 2016 was rated average only for In-Car Electronics, and better than average on everything else.
I've no complaints so far on my 2017, but can any other 2017 owners out there speculate as to what is going wrong in the categories mentioned above?
