    Rear wiper blade replacement on 2016.5?

    I need new wiper blades. I bought the Rain-X blades for front and back, and while the front blades are standard replacement, I can't figure out the rear blade. I can get the old one off (followed the instructions in the manual, thanks, lol), but the manual seems to suggest I have to remove and...

    Bouncy ride in cold weather?

    Hey all. Here's my situation. 2016 CX-5 AWD, 20k miles on it. I left it with family for a week while I was out of town for NYE, and a family member drove it and put maybe 100 miles on it. The family member in question is heavy -- maybe 100 pounds more than I am, and to this point, I've...

    Hit and Run rear-ending: bumper replacement cost?

    I got rear-ended on my way to work this morning, and the guy took off afterwards. Human beings can suck. Anyway, there's a pretty big gouge in the rear bumper. No paint damage, but I suspect the rear bumper cover needs replaced. What sort of cost am I looking at? I have a $500 deductible...

    2016.5 demanding oil change at terrible time

    Hey, all. I drove from SW Ohio to Paducah, KY, last night to do eclipse things with family, and 90 miles out of Paducah, the "change oil" light came on. Car has 11,100 miles and had its first oil change at 6500 miles, so is due for one at 11,300. Because of the eclipse, I don't know how it might...

    How do you confirm a wonky transmission?

    I bought a new 16.15 Touring CX-5 just about 2500 miles ago, and I have a question about how one identifies a problem with the transmission. On mine, each shift is smooth except the shift from 5th to 6th, I believe, and every time I get to that point, there's a hesitation in the car. It reminds...

    How to get electric w/o turning on engine?

    Bought a 2016.5 Touring about a month ago and am LOVING IT. Question: In a car w/o the push-button start, I could turn the key halfway and get access to the electronics - radio, lights, windows, etc. This a.m., I turned off my engine before closing the moonroof and so had to push the button...

    OEM all-weather mats vs. Weather Tech

    Bought a 2016.5 CX-5 Touring this weekend, and the dealer included the all weather floor mats b/c we had a disagreement on price (long story). I was planning on buying the Weather Tech mats and cargo liner anyway, but now I want to wait and see how the OEM all-weather floor mats are. All...
