Can't answer the question specifically, but can tell you this about my other vehicle. One ABS sensor got flaky, and occasionally the brakes would think they needed to go into 'ABS' mode, i.e. would start the rapid pulsing during braking, instead of normal braking. Quite disconcerting. I just...

About 115,000 km on the originals from 2011. I checked the date code on the tire, they are dueller 422s. It is possible they were taken off in winter for the first 4 years, we bought it 2 years ago. At the moment, around 6/32 all around. Looking to replace before winter. When we bought the...

I have been reading really good reviews for the General Altimax RT43. Tirerack waxes poetic in their review. Anyone have additional comments? 120 each at Tirerack right now.

Here in Ontario Canada, the Mr.Lube franchises will do it for about $90. They open the plug on the top,suck out the old, put in new.

Try turning Bluetooth off on the phone, then flipping it back on one car is started. It's helped with mine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

After a year of ownership, we're at 13.5 l/100, which translates to just under 18mpg. Average speed of 48kmh, or 30mph, which I think is a fair representation of mostly city driving.

Hope you ran to a different dealer. Care to update us?

Our 2011 experiences lots of dropouts as well. I suspect it is switching from terrestrial to satellite, but as the cx9 screen has no source indicator, can't be certain.

I'll add my $.02 to this thread. Just finished towing a 6x12 uhaul, loaded weight around 3000 pounds, some 2200 km from Winnipeg to Toronto via the US route. 2011 cx9 AWD, factory towing package, mazda hitch. Observations: Gas mileage; yeah, what you would expect. 10 liters/100 km out on...

Also consider a wrecker. www.car-part.com lists a couple of options for what you describe.

To close off this thread, took it in yesterday. It's a defective switch in the latch handle. Extended warranty is covering it.

Yeah, I've thought of that. I have tried all the methods mentioned. For example, press drivers door button twice, see if passenger door opens, (OK), try hatch (no go). I'll see if I can get this checked into under extended warranty.

I can't figure out if my hatches manual latch is tweaked or acting per spec. Using power open, either from key fob or dashboard switch, all is well. But it seems that if I unlock doors with fob, then try hatch, the manual latch doesn't work. I can pull all I want and hatch doesn't open. If...

I had the same issue on a different car (an 03 beetle) and my mechanic said the window tracks had come out of alignment. That in turn made the motor work harder than it has to, and in turn triggered the anti pinch.

Adding $.02 to this discussion, one option that rarely seems to come up is a third party mechanic. It always seems to be dealership vs DIY. A good one, which I'm fortunate to have, it's worth their weight in gold. I haven't let him loose on the cx9 yet as there's been no need, but he's worked...

Still true today. That light means an emissions problem, and that's all it means. Emissions problems are often mechanical, but not all mechanical issues are emissions related.

Check engine light is not directly related to oil pressure or any other mechanical issue. It means emissions system has an issue, which often is mechanical, but mechanical doesn't mean emissions. In other words, you could have no oil, and engine sieze, without the check engine light ever...

For my wife and I, when we ride together, it seems to pick the key that was closest to the door on which the request button was pressed. In others words, if I get to the door a few seconds before DW, and press the door button, I 'win' and the seats adjusts to my preferences. And that's the...

Just ran into this in my other car. I had filled it up with cheap antifreeze that certainly wasn't good for the -35c it was rated for. It was only -10c overnight at best. A long warmup in the driveway to thaw it, siphoned most out, and refilled with a name brand rated to -45. Pumped a few...

Don't know. We've only had the car for 4 months, and the play wasn't enough to fail the CPO inspection. 'Course, that may reflect on the quality of the inspection as much as anything........
