    Break booster fail, caused other issues with vehicle as well. Strange idle etc.

    There wasn't anything wrong with the breaks as far as I could tell through every day operation. Also I had the vehicle at the dealer less than a month ago on a service recall for the control arms, they did a full inspection and found nothing. If you read the post; I was getting a intermittent...

    Break booster fail, caused other issues with vehicle as well. Strange idle etc.

    Hey everyone I just had the break booster recall performed on the 2012 CX-9 with 75,000 miles. I was driving last week and suddenly lost break power, you'll know because your driving without power breaks and it requires you to put a lot of weight into the peddle. I was able to apply additional...

    Transmission fluid type

    There is no service interval for the the CX-9 Tranny because its a sealed transmission; Toyota stats the fluid is good for the life of the transmission. I looked into this a year ago and you need to buy the correct fluid if you do in-fact want to flush and fill.

    Harsh engagement, Loud clunk, Lurching Forward when Shifted from Reverse to Drive

    I have a 2012 38K that does this under certain circumstances. I feel like it happens after I have quickly shifted from reverse to forward. If I reverse, stop, neutral, let foot off break for a second, break, drive I don't have this issue. I do notice it if I am going quickly between reverse and...
