jal142, Thanks for your experience with the brakes. I think I will see if my 18 brakes are original or at least get them checked??? no noises and don't look worn, but you never know. I never had brakes better than the OEM on my 07, didn't need brake pads until 107,000 miles! That's incredible...

British vehicles have terrible dependability reviews/ratings! BMW's are expensive to maintain and repair, been there done that! Was tempted by the (looks) of a 2018 Jaguar F-PACE. But the first year models had 3 major recalls! It comes with basically the same engine/performance of CX-9, less...

Hi Tradosaurus, Recently bought one in the Houston area. 2018 cx9 touring with premium package 30,000 miles. paid 24G. perfect condition. Was saving up for something " more pricey " but with the uncertain economy; I decided on the CX-9 which has the best performance/quality and dependable for...

107,000 I have to say that I've never had brakes last longer than on my CX-9. And I am not a gentle driver! My front pads wore out first at 107,000 miles. I went ahead and had front and back done. And I didn't have new rotors or have rotors turned. They looked and felt fine to me. 155,000 and...

Can bad gasoline or water in your gas cause one or more of these fuel injector codes? Also, what exactly does injector circuit open mean? That to me means something electrical like fuel injector wire, or connector loose or damaged. I'm having same issue with #2 cylinder P0202 and misfire code...

Hi all, I have a problem and could use some help. My 2007 CX9 107K Touring was driving fine until one morning going to work it started losing power, rough sounding and died. After a few minutes of trying to get it going again it started and I was able to drive it a few miles to mechanic. Check...

crazy, but works. My AC fan started blowing full blast when I turned my CX9 off about a year or two ago. The fix I came up with is: (first let me state that I have the "switchblade" type key) turn key back to ACC or on position till fan turns off. lift up on the key so it is tilted up towards...

A/C update A/C update. Well, even the passenger side stopped putting out cold air. I had started to smell some freezing/defrosting type smells while ac was on, now no cold air at all. I drove by a mechanic shop advertising ac check $19.95. They looked at it and came back with an estimate for...

Hi, I need some help with my A/C. I turn the a/c on with it set on same temp for drivers and passengers side (as always) but the cold air is only coming out of the passengers side, with hot air coming out of the drivers side. It just started doing this and I'm in Texas with 100 degree weather. I...

I'm VERY curious to find out what the "almost nothing" was and what did they do/replace to fix it? Please let me know. Thanks.

My 07 CX-9 touring shuts off the headlights by itself. Go figure.

Have to chime in on Mazda service.....CRAP! (2007 touring) Had creaking clanking, crunching noises coming from right front side when it hits dips or up embankments first. I thought it has to be strut, bushings, crossarm, etc. The first time at dealer they lubed it...WTF. Noise came back...

I also know someone who works for SHELL here in houston and have been told that the amount of "special additive" in their gas is so small you'd be lucky to get a drop at most with any fillup. Also, the most I've ever done to clean out other vehicles is to maually clean inside throttle body...

Yes, I just went to my dealer for another problem and they said there was a "recall" or whatever they call it and replaced the airbag warning light. Although I haven't had any problems with it.
