    Takata Airbags - 1st Gen CX-9 '07-'12

    I just got a recall notice from Mazda. I didn't realize that defective Takata airbags were in vehicles as new as '12s. https://www.mazdarecallinfo.com

    Drive A Mazda? Your Privacy Could Be Gone In 10 Seconds

    Very interesting. Since my '12 CX-9 has tech circa '06, I guess I don't have to worry. https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2018/03/09/mazda-privacy-hack-via-usb/#3be1f8104d0c

    CR CX-9 Reliability Nosedive

    I just received the December '18 issue of Consumer Reports with predicted reliability of 2018 cars. The CX-9 is listed dead last (with a 20 !!! score (nuts)) in the Midsize SUV category. Lower than a Jeep GC and a Dodge Journey. Toyota Highlander = 83; Mazda CX-9 = 20. (eek) I get it--when...

    Heated Rear Seats; Heated Steering Wheel; and More??

    The all new CX-5 GT offers a package that has heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel. I hope this is a sign that those features (and maybe vented or cooled front seats, pano sunroof, etc.) may be on the 2018 MY horizon. (yippy)

    Power Side Mirrors Failure

    Yesterday, suddenly, I could no longer move my side mirrors left or right from the door panel switch. I could move them up and down, but if I press up, the mirror moves all the way up unless I put the rocker switch in the middle position. Same with trying to move the mirrors down. This affects...

    Steering wheel audio button finish issue

    Anyone have the finish start peeling off of the steering wheel audio buttons? I know there was a TSB for the silver finish on the door handle a few years ago; I've got about 4,000 miles to go on my warranty, and I'll give it a shot to get it covered. Just wondering if anyone else has had this...

    Anyone Relpace OEM Tires with Dueler 422 Ecopias?

    And if you did, have you noticed better mpg, since they are lower rolling resistance?

    Sirius Satellite Deals?

    It is just about time for me to do the annual dance with Sirius to get a new promotional rate, rather than pay full price. What deals are you seeing on your CX-9 (or other) subscription? I'm currently at $7.85/mo. Thx!

    BlueTooth name display for incoming calls

    I have a 2012 GT with nav. I have about 20 names saved in the nav phone book that I uploaded from my iPhone. What's weird is that, no matter which of those contacts calls me, the nav displays the FIRST name in my phone book, even if a different contact is calling. Anyone else have this...

    Disable Warning that Rear Hatch is Open?

    Is this possible? Had an oversized package, with the tailgate bungeed down today--beeping the whole way home. Can warning be shut off?

    Auto Wipers--How Well Do Yours Work?

    I got caught in my 1st heavy rain storm since buying my CX-9 GT in March. I was disappointed in the rain sensing wipers--they didn't really pickup enough speed when it started raining really hard--and I mean heavy thunderstorm while on the highway. I was disappointed. The rain sensing wipers...

    Navigation Real Time Traffic -- How Good is it?

    Taking a trip tomorrow, and I'm wondering how well the real time traffic works on the CX-9 nav. It's the first time I've really been able to use this function--I'm not sure how well I can rely on it. I also am wondering, on the highway, how far in advance it warns you about traffic problems...

    Transmission Indicator Display

    I just purchased a '12 CX-9 GT. On the dash, under the PRNDM display, there is an indicator that shows what gear you are currently in--even if the transmission is in "D" (and not "M"). Does anyone know if this display can be changed just to show "D"? The Quick Start Guide shows "D" in this...

    CX-9 Phone Book

    I just bought a CX-9--picked it up today. I programed my wife's "dumb" phone (Motorola RAZR) to the BlueTooth. It won't transfer the phone book--it says that the phone doesn't support that function. I can't figure out how to manually enter phone numbers--the manual only has an entry on the...
