So I am back. I have not picked up the 2012 AWD grand touring yet in white but I sold my 08' because of BAD paint and a shuddering driveline. Car was perfect for 137K but I had to move on. I hated a few things about it. So I am looking forward to getting into a newer one. Any issues with 2012...

So here is what I have concluded. The vehicle does not exhibit any vibration when cold. Once the vibration starts (typically after getting hot..I believe) it slowly starts which a rumble between 20-25mph then goes away. If I keep driving it becomes intermittent but always at the low speed...

I need a hitch. I want a factory hitch but seems as though it only came on the car as an option and not a purchase after the fact. Why won't a 2009 factory hitch fit or whats the deal with this BS? I cannot see the chassis being different between years that it would not fit, the only thing I see...

Rear end vibration still. So after new front axles which I now think were not the issue, I repaired the rear diff bushings to be a solid bushing until new ones come in. Problem still exists. It vibrates from 20-40mph and that's it. I need new tires but I doubt that is the issue. I am thinking...

Anyone know where I can get just the bushings for the rear diff that mount in the subframe. Those assholes at Mazda want me to by the whole subframe for those stupid bushings. Insane. Any leads would be great, they may crossover into some other car??

I am experiencing a vibration (rumble), shudder issue between 20-35mph. It is more noticeable on acceleration, slightly drops off if I let off and completely goes away coasting in Neutral or still in Drive. Seems to disappear sometimes as well. Not every time but occasionally. If I accelerate...

Does anyone know if the Euro or UK CX-9 version came with rear Fog lamps? I would love to have this feature like all my other cars. Great for safety in well...Fog and snow/rain storms. I am trying to find the info but have found nothing yet. This is one feature Mazda needs to compete with...

I just installed the NEW OEM struts and shocks today. I have to say it was a pretty simple job. Took me about 2 hrs. The hardest part was the rear. Mazda should have made access doors to the rear shocks. Removing everything from the rear including side panels was not hard but time consuming...

KYB GR-2 vs. Stock KYB. I am assuming that stock over the GR-2 will not make a significant difference? I am not looking for a autobahn car. My shocks and struts are done on our AWD. I almost got the GR-2 but one thing that turned me off was they are Silver. I rather have black so they don't...

I am getting a raw fuel smell from the engine compartment during higher ambient temps. I am assuming this may be a vapor recirculation problem. I am not sure at this point how the vapors are recirculated in this vehicle. But there must be some of that vapor being burned off in the combustion...

I am a little reluctant to ask this but has anyone tried the Monroe for the CX-9? I have never been a fan of monroe and rather have KYB which I believe is OEM. But anyone try them?

I get a clicking noise from either the transmission or Brake calipers. From a stop position to forward or reverse I get a click (metallic sound). I thought there was something about this being a recall? 2008 Grand Touring AWD thanks

Ok. I have 245/50/20 Pirelli Scorpion Tires on an AWD, not impressed with them in the snow at all. They are ok in dry and wet. I realize from the search that most like the Yokohama Parada. I am willing to try these because although I live in Phoenix, I frequent Flagstaff and Colorado. So I need...

Hey all. Just picked up a new used 08' AWD fully loaded CX-9. I hope to find out all I can here about the car. I have done my research on this car and hope it to be fairly bulletproof. Our mazda 6 was. So far I have had Mazda do a complete check on it and nothing is wrong with it. Only issue...
