    CX-5 GT 2016 transmission slipping

    Unobtanium, could you possibly elaborate on the mis-match code? Does it have anything to do with a software remapping? (I saw another user mention this.) When my CX5 downshifts from 2nd, often times it doesn't really go into 1st, but 'let's go' like it's shifting into neutral before I've come...

    Body Roll Remedy for CX-5: Sway bars, front strut bar, etc

    Thanks so much for all the great advice. I'll have them install both the front and rear sway bars to start. Sounds like that will result in the most notable difference and I can keep adding additional parts as needed. GJ-Molestor thanks for sharing the information on additional parts I can...

    Body Roll Remedy for CX-5: Sway bars, front strut bar, etc

    I've seen a few threads about sway bars and front struts. The body roll in my 2015 CX-5 has gotten the best of me and I'd like to flatten it out. (I like hitting the gas in corners:) Anyway, if I have someone install a rear sway bar and a front upper strut bar, do you think that will...

    Looks like 10/14. I'm hoping you're right~

    Anybody else feel funky downshift while sitting at a stop light?

    I agree with you on that. Last thing I want is for them to see me coming and cringe. Good relations go a long way - but it's a fine line to walk when you're learning, hence my statement; knowledge is power :) Anyway, last thing I want to do is think something is normal and drive with...

    Anybody else feel funky downshift while sitting at a stop light?

    Thanks for the info; mine is 2015. I've got to take it in for the power window motor and the fuel pipe recall; I'll have them check it then.

    Anybody else feel funky downshift while sitting at a stop light?

    Knowledge is power...I thought my trans was going bad already. And I too have checked my rear-view to see if someone tapped my bumper! So has anyone else requested the above diagnostic test? Is it needed or just part of CX-5 ownership? In addition to this, I also have a lag when shifting from...

    Mitsubishi Space Star

    Kudos to Mitsu for making unique colors available. I like seeing car companies use other colors instead of red, white, black, blue and gray. Love that purple....the car industry really needs a revolution in color choices. I guess it's a major financial risk though. I want cars that change...

    Washing your car

    I would suggest getting on youtube and searching 'how to properly wash a car' and you'll get all kinds of great car washing examples from the pros (as well as what not to do); where to start, technique, how to minimize scratching, etc. Then, pick whichever products you feel you will enjoy using...

    Post Pictures of Your CX-5 Mods, Upgrades and Accessories!

    kaptinjak, that's awesome and thanks for listing the tire info. I'm fairly cash conscious so when I'm in the market for a new set, I'll go with wider. Maybe between the sway bar and a wider set of tires I can increase the zoom a little more in the corners.

    Thanks Chris, I saw where you had installed a front and rear sway bar but wasn't sure exactly what it does. I can definitely swing that if it will give a noticeable improvement.

    Post Pictures of Your CX-5 Mods, Upgrades and Accessories!

    Hey everyone, so much great advice about upgrading on here. I've read through almost this whole thread and I'm wondering what are a couple of things I can do to minimize body roll on the CX5? Outside of lower springs (which would defeat the purpose of the vehicle for me) do I have any other...

    Dealer oil change uses Phillips 66 Synthetic Blend 0w20

    Interesting...they fed my machine Castrol 0w-20 on my last oil change. Seemed expensive, paid $79 for oil change, filter and lube. And if I read it right, lube means all the hinges and seals right? I don't even know how to check if they did that part!
