problem #5

Feb 272013

CX-5

  • 2,000 miles
At highway speeds the driver's side mirror shakes uncontrollably, rendering it virtually useless. Cars are all but a blur at and above 55 mph. The dealer said it is a known issue (and said he submitted a tsb) and did nothing to remedy the issue. When presented with the "repair guidance" reference # R042/13A, they said it was a fix for the "european Cx-5, not the us version" and would not fix the problem.

Driving on freeway a small pebble hit the far right, mid level of windshield about 3 inches from edge. I heard a loud pop sound and then a small star-shape ding appeared. Within 5 minutes the crack grew to about 2.5 feet long.

CX-5 4-cyl

  • 15,000 miles
Walked out to cracked windshield (1/4 way across vehicle) 6 months after purchased. Was told by dealer would not cover under warranty because of small nick at end of crack was thicker than dollar bill. 4 months later, discovered chip in windshield. During fix, crack protruded from chip and whole windshield had to be replaced again.

CX-5 4-cyl

Both rear view mirrors vibrate at speeds in excess of 30 mph. On highways the vibrating is so intense the mirrors are nearly useless as using them can be nauseating. The driver side mirror vibrates more than the passenger side mirror, but both noticeably vibrate.
