2017 CX5 Grand Touring. Its slow to warm up compared to any other car I know. I live in MA and when the outside temp is only around 32 to 35F the engine does not reach operating temp until about 8 to 10 miles and over 15 mins. Max speed reached is 45 for a good portion of that. Heater control set to 72, fan on lowest and outside air. Car sits in a garage overnight and its about 55 in the attached garage in the morning. Overall trip is 45 min at max speeds of 70 and while it does reach normal (205 – 210) I think it takes too long. Dealer says normal. I have read somewhere the t-stat bypass is excessive and thus are stuck with this situation.
What do other folks experience?
I do plan on changing out the T-Stat but looking for any tips on what may also be going on than a slightly stuck open t-stat. Thanks.
