Im looking to replace the driver side door arm rest/pad, does the arm rest come separately from the door panel? and do I need to remove the door panel to detach it? thanks!

I've a rental Mazda 3, and am looking to purchase one- but I've noticed that there is A LOT of road noise. The 2012 Mazda 3 has 2100 miles on it, and I can't imagine that this is caused by poorly worn tires- but is this a common issue with Mazda 3/skyactiv cars? And is it Tire based or is...

Long story short- I've been feeling a shaking/stuttering coming from my 2008 mazda CX-9 GT (AWD) at 30-50mph in 4th or 5th gear (only when keeping constant speed- accelerating it goes away). So I took it to the dealer (and I'm out of warranty and at nearly 110K miles), and they're telling me...

I just had my battery replaced, so most of my on-board settings are back to factory settings. There's the Beep (on/off) button via User Settings on the touch screen but that doesn't effect the Volume/Channel steering wheel buttons. The buttons beep on every change and I swear it didn't before...

Does anyone know how to un mount the DVD player? It doesn't display the picture if I open it all the way, but works fine 1/2 open. Seems like a connection issue, but there's no evident way of pulling it off the head liner. If Not, can anyone tell me if they've had theirs replaced? thanks!

In the past 3 weeks, my stock car alarm has gone off on it's own, without harassment. The only uniting aspect between these occurrences has been that it's been wet or had just rained. I'm in So.Cal, so this is an odd parallel to draw. Is this a known problem, or better yet, anyone know why...

It seems that the weather stripping on both of my front doors is coming detached, it looks ok in place, but under close examination it's slipping out from under the retaining strip-- and is causing an air leak / road noise to become really audible. Has anyone else experienced this, and know how...

I just had the pleasure of renting a 2010 mazda 3, while having new breaks put on my 2008 CX9, only to find that the "3" has a bluetooth audio in function. This allowed me to pair my phone and play tunes through the Aux connection via my Iphone with no cables attached. Is this something new...

Is there any kind of warning system on the CX-9 regarding breaks and when they should be replaced? I recall on chevy's they have a lil metal clip that rubs on the rotor when the pad is below a safe point, as an auditory warning. I'm at 57K on my original set (which is way impressive) but 7k...

has anyone here had the Mazda trani cooler and hitch package installed after they purchased their CX9? or a aftermarket kit like this? I'm looking at setting up my cx9 for towing a small trailer, and am trying to figure out what the best way of doing that is. thanks!

The strangest thing has just happened to me twice in one week... when I park my car, A/C turned to it's lowest setting but not off. I park my car and turn the key off (in park as well) and with the key off and nothing else going the A/C blasts on full blast, as if it's possessed. It's...

Going to the snow in a couple of days, just for a day or two and want to be prepared. i've GT AWD package with the 20s, should I get chains/Cables for all four, or just the rear two or front? I understand that Mazda and everyone here says to steer away from Chains, and go with Cables... but to...

Does/has anyone taken the larger of the two 2nd Row seat out? If so, how? Thanks P.

I have two phones paired in the 2008 GT CX-9 but it always defaults to the wrong one, and I have to go in manually change the phone to the active one. Is there a way to change the priority without uninstalling/cancelling one of them?

I bought my 2008 cx-9 new and with very few miles on it in Nov 2007, now I'm pushing 36K and the tires look as if they're getting really low on tread. Is 40K out of a set of tires normal? Also, I'm noticing more road noise, my guess is that it's caused from the minimal tread *mind you there is...

Hey all, I've a 2008 GT now with 36k on the odo. And in the mornings when I first apply the breaks (i live on a hill) it sounds as if the breaks are going into "emergency - anti lock up mode" but ever so slightly. It happens once or twice, then everything is back to normal. Does anyone...

Not sure what it's called but I've heard that there's one available for the CX-9... a device that you can plug into the dash or steering column somewhere and it will give miles, mpg, and a bunch more data -- does anyone know what this device is called, and where it can be purchased? thanks

Anyone know of a good polish or cleanser for heavy water spots on car paint? My sprinklers leave spots down one side of my car, and its annoying. The local car wash doesnt have a clue. Anyone? Thanks P.

Has anyone had their driver seat adjustment electronics fail on them. I just tilted the seat back to catch a little shut eye, and now it won't come back up. Even the preset won't fix it. Dealers are closed til monday, and I'm stuck doing ab crunches while driving around town. Anyone, know of...

has anyone had a swaybar installed on their cx-9? if so, how do you like it, and does anyone know if it voids any part of the warrantee, etc? thx
