    Are larger bumper/body gaps the norm for the CX-5?

    I'll try to get some better pics next week, but basically what you are seeing are the mounting bracket tabs in between the rear bumper and body. I'm pretty positive it's not a bracket fatigue issue because when I push the bumper up into the body, it's obvious the bracket tabs are the thing...

    Are larger bumper/body gaps the norm for the CX-5?

    Hello folks, Think I originally posted this question in the wrong sub-forum, so I figure this might be a better place. Long story short, I've had my rear bumper taken on and off multiple times (maybe 6 or more) due to various accessory installation or repair work. I started noticing the gap...

    Rear bumper gaps normal?

    Hello folks, Long story short, I've had my rear bumper taken on and off multiple times (maybe 6 or more) due to various accessory installation or repair work. I started noticing the gap between the rear bumper and the body was becoming more and more noticeable, with the bracket tabs...

    Last second downshifting (auto transmission) when braking only....?

    Needed to get the bumper off to install a 2" trailer hitch. I don't think they recognized the sensor mounts because it looked like someone tried to pry a couple off with a screwdriver, then tried to hide it.

    Last second downshifting (auto transmission) when braking only....?

    Not totally the service center's fault, but they had to outsource a part installation to a different company. The company didn't know how to take the bumper off without wrecking some of the electronics, and they just threw the bumper on the ground. Came back with a bunch of scuffs/scratches and...

    Last second downshifting (auto transmission) when braking only....?

    Thanks for the feedback! Based on the replies so far, it sounds like it maybe normal, but I'm still on the fence whether or not what's going on why my CX-5 is "normal". It sounds like what I'm seeing with my vehicle is the torque converter kicking, but I don't think I've ever felt the...

    Last second downshifting (auto transmission) when braking only....?

    Hi everyone, new 2014 GT owner here. I wasn't sure if this needed to go in the brakes or transmission section, but since I'm seeing this only with braking, I figure I'd ask for feedback here. Literally every time I brake for a stop, it starts off smoothly with the RPM's remaining just above...
