2013 CX-9 GT AWD Just did a full brake job, front and rear pads and rotors. Now the Parking brake does not hold the car at all. I know the 'star wheel' is the adjustment but how do you know how much to adjust? I've adjusted them then used a pry bar to test turning the wheel hub while...

Looking for a good/trustworthy mechanic on Staten Island. Any suggestions/recommendations. Have the P0202 code. Have 85K miles.

I just did a front brake job. The OEM rotors were just rusted to hell. They still haven't improved on that part. I went with the Raybestos RPT coated rotors and the Raybestos Element 3 pads. Has anyone else tried this brand/combination? Part quality seemed very good. Ordered from...

Im looking for some detailed instructions on replacing the front rotors and pads. I went with raybestos rust preventive coating rotors and raybestos eht pads from rockauto. I have done brakes on other vehicles before but never on my cx 9. Looking for hints/tips of what tools needed, what...

Now that we have our new 2013 CX9 in Pearl White (Ghost Rider), there are a few spots that need some touch up paint. Has anyone used the Mazda product? Aftermarket? Some of the aftermarket products have a 3 part process. 3 different paint pens, one for the base, one for the pearl and one for...

I was advised by the dealer that the FOB functionality for the 2013 model aside from the basic functions is only express windows down. I thought that there was additional functions available, such as the closing of all windows and the sunroof. Can anyone advise on this as I am picking the...

Well, our cream puff 2008 CX9 GT was totaled in an accident on 9/11/16. It was T-Boned by a speeding little Fiat. All walked away unhurt except for out beloved cx9 . It was a total loss. :( Bent the chassis, cross member and crushed the passenger side of the motor. Over $15K in damages...

So ive used up all the goodwill that Mazda would give me for their crap front rotors. Ill now have to bite the bullet and go aftermarket. Im not going drilled or slotted as this is a family hauler. What brands has theCX9 community used? Powerstop is on many parts sites in a package with...

Has anyone installed an aftermarket tow hitch? I saw a few on rockauto.com for $121, a class III with a 2" receiver. It is a bolt in installation. It is the hitch only, no wiring harness. Would I need anything else to do this? Is a bolt in really strong enough to tow...

Need to replace the wipers on a 2008 CX-9 GT. The fronts are no issue, but the rear. Most auto parts shops offer the complete blade and arm assembly. Is it best to try to just get the insert for the rear wiper and keep the original wiper arm? How is the rear arm removed for replacement? Thanks

Is there an updated navi disk out there? I was thinking about updating the navi and in looking it seems that they went to as SD card for the navi system in 2010. Is there a way to get 2014/15 navi data into a 2008?

One on my FOB's for my 08 CX-9 AWD went bad. Replaced battery and still nothing. It will lock & unlock the doord/rear hatch but you can not start the car. Dealer was unable to re-program and the replacement cost is $450! Crazy. Has anyone had any luck with an aftermarket FOB or a on-line...

I just had my 08-CX9 AWD at the dealer for replacement of the mass air flow sensor, fully covered under my MEPP bumper to bumper coverage. BTW, BEST thing I ever did. They noted that the 60K service is creaping up. What is the extent of the service? It's $500! Since I have the bumper to...

I had my dealership do a full brake service at 36,512 miles, that was 8/2012. Over the weekend we went on a day trip and slowing down from highway speed the wheel shuddered so hard that even the side view mirrors were shaking. I'm at 47,800 miles now. I know the front factory rotors are an...

We have a 2008 GT model that was unfortunately crashed in the rear while parked. $9K in damages. Ugh. The blind spot computer was replaced twice and just seems to not be as sensative as before. I drove in heavy highway traffic and tried to make it go off but was unable. The Tech shop swears...

I have read in prior posts about the bad rotors, pulsating petal, etc. When did this occur? Local driving or slowing from highway speeds? I have pulsations only when decreasing from highway speeds. Going to dealer Sat. AM for something already. If this is something they should look at I...

Has anyone used the product DR. Paint Chip? I have some chips that I want to fix up and that product seems to be one that would work best.

I have a 2008 CX9 GT AWD. We purchased as a CPO 18 months ago. My family loves the vehicle so far. It is blue with sand interior. I call it the 'war wagon'. With 3 kids the name definitely fits. I look forward to the insight this forum brings. Thanks. Anthony
