    my 2018 does the same thing, makes me wonder what the GPS sync really does. Pain in the butt to have to manually set anything to do with time changes in this day and age.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Replaced rear brake pads and rotors @ 40K miles Hint - Use a 6 point 14mm socket on the caliper bracket bolts and a long ratchet/breaker bar to remove. They are quite tight from factory!
