I was driving behind what looked like a relatively new Lexus NX200t AWD and all of a sudden it started spewing a line a black oil, I knew right away it was the transfer case, the smell was so foul like burnt garlic, I've serviced my CX-9 transfer case before so I knew exactly what it was, the...
don't know how he did it but that looks amazing, looks like he installed a Nissan system into the CX-5
also, from another owner , playing DVD's on center screen
Is this an example of a brake booster failure ? Seems like the guy lost the brakes when he started downhill (there was an unusual sound as he went downhill) he left his foot on the brakes (he's saying: "I can't control it!! I can't control it!!") until he realized in the last seconds to release...
hi, some 2016 CX-9 questions and comments
looking to buy a new CX-9 but have some questions and comments:
1) is the CX-9 engine basically the same as the CX-5 but with turbo ?
2) went to the dealer and figured out why there's a 2nd row hump, the AWD driveshaft "piggybacks" above the exhaust...
found it very tedious to keep pulling each fuse to figure out which one was blown, and the tester that came with my fuse kit was too big and test contacts to short,
so decided to MacGyver it (great show by the way from the 80's, they're rebooting it this fall !!) and solder long sewing...

the CX-9 is not an SUV that is designed for the off-road aficionado, as Mazda’s all-wheel drive system does not feature...

I don't care, I kind of like the exclusivity, can go for days or weeks without seeing another fellow CX-9 on the road
dealers practically giving away the old...
was looking for a toy scale model of the new CX-9 and came across this:

pretty cool looking SUV, a lot of the style elements from the new CX-9 especially front and back
looks like...

I've been feeling a vibration since a heavy snowstorm two weeks ago, I lifted the CX-9 today fully expecting to see failed rear shaft bearings but they turned out to be perfectly fine...
hi guys,
I just noticed today that my red LED hazard light is not lighting up at night :(
the switch for my hazards still work but the indicator light is off
just wondering if anyone else has the same issue and if there's a fix for this.
offtopic: man the Mazda bean counters really...
ok, so here's the story, big snow storm in the NYC, and driving to work today, I noticed minor vibrations when going over 50 mph.
I don't see any ice blocks in the wheel wells or rims, I'm suspecting it's snow trapped in the tire treads throwing off the balance and since the CX-9 is running...
My neighbor has a 2014 BMW X5 and it is straight up horrible in the snow. Huge snow storm in New York City today and he was returning home due to an official 2:30pm travel ban in New York City. He was backing into his driveway and there was like a foot of snow and he was having a hard time...
just FYI, I experienced this morning on a very cold day when warming up the car,
I checked and it definitely wasn't a clogged A/C drain, turned out to be an air pocket in the heater core system and low coolant,
I was able to fix this by opening radiator cap to release the trapped air pocket...
