- 2017 CX-5 GT
First off, hello to the forum and a bit of an intro. We recently purchased a silver 2017 CX-5 GT as a replacement for our 2011 Rogue after it's transmission went at 200,000 km. The Rogue needed new rear brakes and new summer tires, so the transmission and associated $5k repair bill was the final straw. I really liked the way the post face-lift CX-5's looked and reviews were always positive. I was in a bit of a rush to get a replacement for the Rogue as we have 3 big senior dogs and they don't exactly fit in my RS3. Tried hard to find a Soul Red but ended up going with a silver GT that a local dealer had on the lot.
Anyhow, we just got home last night after a couple of weeks in the Caribbean. We were a bit worried if the CX-5 would start as it's been sitting outside in the airport parking and we've been getting that sustained cold snap. It was -25C when we landed last night. The car was slow to turn over but started ok. It idled for 5 or so minutes as we cleared the snow off of it. As we pulled out of the parking we noticed right away the engine noise inside the cabin was louder. As well, we were getting lots of vibration under partial load from 1500~2000 rpm; enough to make the rear view mirrors go blurry and cause inside panels to start to resonate. I thought at first the car was just really cold but it kept up the entire 45 minute drive home.
We went and picked up the dogs from the kennel this morning and same thing. Engine sound inside the cabin is much louder. Idle feels rough. Strong vibration between 1500~2000 rpm the goes away at higher RPM, but then I'm still getting engine droning. It's still cold here (-24C)
