    Exhaust Leak

    Here is the funny thing, I purchased the extended warranty on my '09 and never used it. Car did not have any problems. But now, the 2012 is already having issues, which the 2012 was the last model year prior to the remodel, so you would expect the car to be perfect as they should have worked...

    Exhaust Leak

    I'm getting a new exhaust, the dealer stated that a baffle went loose which was making the sound I heard. I'm also getting a new closing part for the tailgate since that broke as well. Glad everything is under warranty...now debating whether to get the extended warranty, I had it on my 2009...

    Exhaust Leak

    Pretty much ever since I got my new car, there has been this rattling sound coming from outside, especially when the engine is cold. My brother in law heard it today and told me its and exhaust leak. Has anybody else ran into this? I'm going to take it back to the dealer for warranty work and...

    Spark plug change from the Dealer- can this be right ??

    Guys, its the dealer...I just got a "coupon" in the mail the other day for them to change my cabin air filter for $64.99! Wow, what a great deal, except I bought a "special" air filter from Amazon for less than $15 and did it myself in less than 2 minutes. When I bought a cabin air filter from...

    Top speed on cx-9?

    Not in my 2012, but in my 2009 I hit the governed speed limit of 118mph going up a good size hill on a highway (figured no cops checking speed going up hill, just at the crest). The reason why our top speed is so high (yes that's high compared to most SUV's/trucks as they are limited to 100) is...

    I believe they made this change in 2010, so you don't have it. My 2009 did not have it either.

    I usually wash my car often, and even my Accord that I kept for over 5 years that had DRL, no problem. I see the problem more on cars that are about 7+ years old. Thanks for the heads up though, good to know.

    I discovered the other day when I have the parking lights on, the high beam goes on low, to act as a DRL, along with the side marker, nice new feature, no longer need the DRL :)

    Tow hitch and spare tire?

    Make sure you have the proper tools (It took me 5 hours b/c I didn't have the proper tools nor help). I have a torque wrench when I got to the end of it to make sure the big bolts are 60lbs and the small ones are 17lbs. If you raise it off the ground, then you can pretty much put it right...

    First Mazda purchased today, 2013 CX-9

    Congrats and welcome!!! I should be picking up my 2012 soon, this is the first time I bought the exact same car! Just wondering what kind of a deal they were giving on the 2013's? What does the Tech package include?

    There was a message forum out there on this CX-9 post that I cannot locate anymore, so I'm looking for some help. It had to do with a wiring kit so the CX-9 would use the high-bean as a DRL. Can anyone help me with this?

    Headlight upgrade (non HID)

    I got a 55w DDM HID kit shortly after I bought the '09 CX-9. Has been on the car and bulletproof since purchase, I believe it was $70 and somewhat complicated to install, but after a little while, I figured it out.

    Purchased the 2013 Grand Touring for the wife, so far so good!

    How much did they sell it to you for? Are there any good deals out there for the 2013's?

    New 2013 CX-9 Owner

    Enjoy your new CX-9 and welcome! I went with the 2012 instead, $6,550 off a Touring and a good deal on a trade. I didn't even consider the 2013 as I figured the deals were not nearly as good for it (tried to be as cheap as possible).

    Traded Up

    I got $14,500 on mine but I owed $16,800, so I will just roll the balance into my new loan, that was the least of my worries to be honest with you.

    Traded Up

    Yeah, I tried the GT first with Bose/Moonroof, power liftgate and roof rack, but they would not budge on that one as much, so we moved on to the the Touring, and since I had the Touring already, got to keep my snow tires, which is a huge savings. I wasn't planning on this either, but I saw the...

    Traded Up

    Yeah, will certainly do so. I saw the 2013's there, but the differences were not all that appealing to go there, plus, the discounts were not nearly as good either. Yes, this one is AWD as well and no, the tow hitch stays with the car (as it took me 3+hours to install, I rather just buy a new...

    Traded Up

    After going to the dealer where I bought my CX-9 (down the street from my house) and sitting there for almost 3 hours and not getting anywhere in terms of a deal, I decided to try another dealer 40 miles from me. They had the identical car I was looking for (2012 CX-9 Touring, Dolphin Grey with...

    Cx-9 fuel reserve tank?

    I've driven mine until it says 0 more miles until empty...and the most I have ever put in fuel is 18.5 gallons, therefore, I have no idea where those 1.6 gallons are hidden, but I'm glad they are there!!!

    Installed new brakes...HELP!!!

    The guys switched the rotors around. Braking has gotten better, but still feels "weak." I probably have to clean them like you guys indicated. I will probably do so keeping all the hardware on. There is no point in removing it.
