    Audio completely died?

    Hi all! My CX-5 is a 2016.5 Touring. Just lately, the audio function in my 2016.5 system has completely died. The control knob elicits zero response from the Music section of the display. No FM, no AM, no CDs, no ... any other audio source. Just before it went dead, the sound was garbled; it...

    What in the world is going on here? Edit: Fixed!

    Click click click, and the funny part, it stops when you open the door, but then starts again when you reopen it. This is so damned weird. https://photos.app.goo.gl/H2CT3QoLEaAy4QBu8 2013 CX-5

    Creaking noise on uneven surfaces

    2025 CX-5 with 2k miles. When backing out of the driveway I’ve noticed a creaking sound in the front suspension. It occurs right at the point of crossing over the street curb/gutters putting more load on one side. Is this expected behavior and a known noise on these cars?
