    CX-9 OEM Tires

    I installed 4 Michelin Premier LTX in January 2016 with 39K on my 2012 CX9. This past weekend, I had to replace those tires 61K miles on my odo. So I got maybe 22K miles out of a set of tires that has a warranty for 60K miles. 2 tires were worn down to the wear bars and the other 2 has some...

    Brake booster failure/CX-5 loaner

    My 2012 CX-9 AWD GT (51K miles) started to show sign of brake booster failure. I would get a hard pedal intermittently with very little brake force (DW almost almost rear ended someone). After some research, I found Mazda SSP93 and did the diagnostic test myself and confirmed a bad brake...

    Is it OK to replace just one tire on an AWD vehicle?

    AWD CX9 was rear ended resulting in a punctured right rear tire. Is it ok to replace just that one tire? Or press for all 4 tires replaced since the owners manual says "it is dangerous to replace just one tire.....". 27K miles on the original set of tires. They do still have some life left on...

    Mazda position on use of Synthetic Oil in CX-9

    Speaking of synthetic. 2012 GT just turned 7500 miles. Brought in to the dealer for oil change. $30 for regular oil, EIGHTY for synthetic!?!!! WTF. I took regular oil. Interesting thing. The sticker on my windshield said I was due in 5000K, mean next change at 12500K. Why wouldn't it be...

    It's not a waste. For hid lights, headlight washers are a safety feature to prevent glare due to a dirty headlight.

    Steering angle sensor reset? Engine off or on?

    I'm with you. I don't want to do that either. I figured at least 10 people on this forum have replace their battery themselves. Come on you battery disconnectors, please chime in.

    Steering angle sensor reset? Engine off or on?

    Is the excerpt from the service manual specifically addressing the need to do this procedure solely based on having disconnecting the battery? Or is the excerpt addressing some other part being replaced and having to do this procedure? You make it seem like whenever your disconnect the...

    Steering angle sensor reset? Engine off or on?

    Amazing that no one else has posted about this issue. Why is that? Didn't you just pick up your cx9? Did the dealer brush you off when you told them your light was blinky blinky?

    Steering angle sensor reset? Engine off or on?

    Speaking of searches. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123677020-Battery-disconnect-reconnect-to-do-list&highlight=disconnect+battery Last post mentions DSC light. So 1 other person may have had a similar issue but that post said an event MAY occur and not WILL occur.

    Steering angle sensor reset? Engine off or on?

    Well, the master tech didn't say engine on or off huh? : ) And I'm implying that if a lot of people do not experience a problem, then it might not be a problem. I did not say alignment. All I said was disconnect battery. Why are you talking about alignment? I am challenging your...
