Low speed popping sounds from beneath the vehicle

They hooked up the same instrument to our car. I just got a call from the service advisor, he said they'll need it for at least 1-2 more days. They are now trying to fix by "trial and error". They are going to replace parts until the noise stops..

OK. At least the dealer is doing what they can to resolve your issue. The bright side is that you'll get new parts for your CX-9. Hang in there.

After 2.5 weeks, its finally ready. They replaced the motor mount, axle, and re-checked the suspension. I am hoping this fixes the problem, my patience with this car is wearing thin and we are thinking of trading it if anything else goes wrong.

I understand the frustration, I felt the same way about ours when we had this issue. Hopefully, it is fixed. If not, I can't blame you for seeking a replacement. Trouble is, for me, there really isn't a viable replacement unless I spent more money for something like an MDX or the new Infiniti JX. Actually, the JX isn't that sporty of a ride, compared to the CX-9. The only other option is to see how the upcoming 7-seater Hyundai Santa Fe LWB is going to drive. The upcoming Nissan Pathfinder would also be an option, but I really do not like the CVT that Nissan will use on it. Anyway, good luck and I am hoping it is fixed.

Any outcome... did they replace your entire suspension? I'm also noticing some very light popping noises. Mainly under 10mph when turning sharply to left or right, i.e. turning into parking lot spaces or driveway with foot off the brake. It is more just a light almost un noticeable nuisance. Could be cv joints, stabilizer bar links, motor mount(s), who knows. I just turned 50k on Sunday, so I've got 10k left on the powertrain warranty....wondering if I should bring it in or wait and see if it gets worse.

Ditto helbigtw. Same noise and I hear it with the slow turns, like backing out of the driveway. 54k on my 07 and unfortunately the power train is up. Oddly enough I have the same issue on my 04 3s and its been like that for about 3 years, no better no worse.

Mine hasn't manifested the issue since the dealership replaced the following:

TD11-34-380B Rubber, MTG
TD11-39-06Y Rubber No. 3, En

I have 25K on the vehicle so far.

They replaced the same in mine, in addition they also replaced my LF Axle. So far so good. I would get it checked while its under warranty

I have an '07 CX9. Heard pop-pop-pop noise backing out of driveway and turning corner at low speed. Always turning wheels to the right. Thought the cv joints were bad & took to dealer for repair. Dealer removed front axles and greased the splines two weeks ago. Popping noise is gone for now.
