    Time for tires

    Hi All, Like many of you I am looking to replace my 20inch Hankooks (33k miles) from my 2013 Ex. I am thinking the Michelin Defender LTX or the Pirelli Scorpion Verde AS. Do you have any opinion either way? These are the only two I am considering as Both have exceptional reviews and performs...

    Popping, Clicking noise from front. Newer TSB

    Ok try to keep up with me here: Had this same problem. Brought it to the dealer, the claim its a rack and pinion issue. They changed it. When I got my car back they returned it with a loud hum and vibration - took it back, they said its normal. I exploded on them for a half a$$ effort. Brought...

    2012 Limited Headlights question

    I have a 2013 limited with hid, gotta say it was a garbage. Very dim and not HID quality. I ended up doing the mod to replace the internals of the HID and upping to 55W morimoto output. The difference was night and day - IMO money well spent - its not cheap to do but all headlight...

    Hi all, Just wanted to add my 2cents. I had the popping sound while turning and the service center replaced the rack and pinion (so I was told) also I had the "shift to park" issue where when I am in park the car still thinks I am not. They replaced the shifter. However when I received the car...

    Got into a rear collision

    This happened to me in Thanksgiving of 2015 when a Bud delivery truck opened its door in my path and took off my mirror which slammed on my window and door paint. My insurance took care of it and I was only responsible for my deductible - $500. After all the repairs my insurance went after Bud...

    Key not found! Your car will now annoy you in public!

I thought it was the...

    Sirius Services Issue

    Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate or cancel if you can and watch Sirrius hound you to give you everything for $30 to 40 for 6 months including traffic and all. I have been doing that since 2013 with my Ex

    Broken cargo net clips

    Hi All, Would anyone happen to know the parts number for the two top clips that hold the cargo net onto the Ex body? My silly nephew grabbed the net to pull himself up into the trunk and broke the clips. I appreciate the help. Thanks

    Best options for storing music in my 2016 Sport?

    There are some 128gb sandisk usb drives on amazon for about 30, I use one of those and have about 19k songs so far. Works like a charm and they are very tiny so doesn't affect use of the compartment either.

Had an "accident" of some sort and I called Allstate telling them something flew off a truck and hit my windshield and they said "no problem" its considered no fault. Replaced with OEM...

    A7 navigation map for SYNC 2 released

    So to post an update as I promised: Using the A7 card resulted in the "off the path, in the fields" kind of tracking. I switched to the A5 and the problem went away. I did this multiple times and had the same experience. Not sure what the conclusion here is but the A5 card didn't put me in the...

    A7 navigation map for SYNC 2 released

    I went ahead and got it for 80 off of fleabay. Have to say there is a significant difference in response time for sure. I deliberately took a different route home yesterday from what was suggested (after picking up the A7) and it was snappy in rerouting, was great at identifying street names and...

    Waranty Issues, help and advice needed.

    Check the bolts on the window glass at the bottom. Had a annoying rattle sound on the right side and couldn't find it. Fortunately/unfortunately I had a minor accident which required the passenger window replaced and lo and behold the rattle is gone.
