We have noticed that our CX5 sometimes makes a popping sound on smooth pavement when driving. Sometime it only does it when turning. Sometimes it sounds more like metal on metal. Could it be a loose strut or maybe a driveshaft issue? I never hear it at high speeds only pulling out of the...

Mine has started to do it at all cold starts. It never used to do it constantly.

The jerk comes from when you get out of reverse, are at a complete stop, engage drive and then add throttle. There is a delay from when you give throttle in drive until it starts to really feel like it is moving. Once it starts to drive you feel a slight jerk as you are on the throttle a good...

My CX5 has started to act a bit odd. When it is cold, as in cold start, when I back out of the driveway onto the road and then put it in drive, there is a 2 second delay before you start to move from the time you give it throttle. Then it usually ends up jerking as your throttle is high by the...

We have the 1 year warranty with the CPO coverage. This still wouldn't be a covered item? I guess I can call my local dealer and ask. I rotated the tires and the pads looked ok. I can take off a rear wheel and check again. I do feel like its coming from the rear. My wife hates the noise. She...

2016.5 CX5 Touring. I constantly get brake squeak when backing up. I do not seem to have it when slowing down. CPO car, haven't even had it for a year. They squeaked a little when we bought it, seems to have gotten worse but I do not see the pads wore down too badly. Is this an issue that...

Can we use the store brand of oil? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Tech-Synthetic-0w20-5q-Dexos1-Gen2/254038905

I have a CPO CX5 and I want to change my own oil. The local dealer is kinda costly for an oil change. I was wondering if I buy the right oil and change it myself if that voids the warranty? What is the best oil? I can use regular synthetic oil and go 7500 miles correct? It seems the oil life...

Thanks for the replies. I am wanting quality as what is in there is absolute trash.

I want to replace the dash speakers and crutchfield says none fit. Support also had nothing to offer. They said the dash speakers were basically custom made for this car. I have read lots of older posts and the polk speaker recommended in the old threads is no longer made. What 3.5" speaker will...

Just an update. The new tires were road force balanced and that fixed the issue. Glad it was not a big problem.

The road force balance was done to the old tires and it didn't help. Then they gave me new ones which helped but I still have steering wheel vibrations and some body vibrations at higher speeds, even on new pavement.

I thought I had said, sorry, its FWD.

I went and talked to them. They did not drive it after adding the new tires. At least not the shop manager. I have an appointment to take him for a ride Wednesday at 10:30am. He said this car won't ride like a luxury car as it has a sporty drive. I pointed outside to my bmw with sport suspension...

Yes, it's now owned by the Acura and Infiniti place. Bradshaw bought them. I swear it feels like a wobble and not a bump bump. So even on smooth road it's like being on a motorcycle. It's better than it was but something is off.
