    Windshield Wiper question

    Yeah that is stupid that it does not have auto park. Even the base model of Hinda has autopark as well as auto door locks when you hit a certain speed. Other then those to minimal issues, the CX9 is an unreal awesome vehicle

    Windshield Wiper question

    So I do not drive the 9 much as it is my wife's primary vehicle. However, the other day I drove it in the rain (handled well) and when I pulled into my driveway, I turned the vehicle off and noticed the wipers did not auto park. They just stopped when the car turned off. I tried this in auto...

    removing wax from black trim

    Nothing really removes it but rather dresses it to give it the new car look. I have tried many brands and they all look great but if neglected (not redoing it once a month or so) the wax residue will reappear.

    K&N has it

    any type of gauze filter has no advantages over a paper filter when new. In fact, it is almost time to replace the paper filter (15k) when the gauze starts to show it's benefits, which are longevity. Cold Air is what is needed and the thought of a filter giving gains over a new paper element is...

    hard water stains on w-shield & other

    I feel for you. My wife decided to wash the 9 and she could not reach the roof to dry it. I pulled in and saw the worst water stains ever. Dried white calcium and stains.. I bugged out.... I spent 3 hours buffing by hand with every known polish I have and got it back 98 percent. I know it is...

    Anyone have aftermarket wheel pics? We had

    I have read alot thet earlier years (07,08) did have wheel defects and there is a TSB for them and they should either be refinished or replaced. What the hell is wrong with dealers not knowing this. idiots. And if you contact Mazda directly about (not through your dealer) try again because I...

    Top Speed of CX9?

    Maybe in NJ.... So freaking congested here in the summer (and fall and winter) My tires on my SRT10 are ZR rated (excess of 186MPH) and while my truck will top out at 165, it is nice to know I have a little bit extra and for those long hauls in Montana doing 120, no worries about tire fatigue.

    40 year old car with a manual transmission? What a cracker you are...You make me laugh the more I read your attempts at a wanna be anything. By the way, dam is spelled damn but maybe your misspelling of the word is caused by me?? LOL OZ, tell us what happens to your transmission if you shut...

    Bug? Can turn off engine while still in Drive.

    Yes you are in jeopardy. Shift into neutral??? For me that would be pushing the clutch in, then shifting into neutral. Too much action in an emergency versus turning the ignition off. There is not one car made today that anyone couldn't handle if the power went off. They are designed that way...

    Bug? Can turn off engine while still in Drive.

    I guess we can ask some of the 3.x million Toyota owners what they did when their pedal stuck because of a carpet mat.

    Bug? Can turn off engine while still in Drive.

    Wow.... Someone working/worked in the auto trade needs to be dismissed because a construction worker said so? Get real and stop badgering the board with your input unless you can technically back it up. In this thread, you can't because what you say is pure self induced belief versus accuracy...

    Bug? Can turn off engine while still in Drive.

    I don't like the bulls*** you try an pass on this forum as numerous times you blow smoke. What else should I expect for someone who damns a tire because it has no traction on ice.. idiotic!!!!

    Bug? Can turn off engine while still in Drive.

    Working in my past career as a mechanic and working on trooper cars, trust me when I say they always blame the brakes. When an accident occurs whether a failure of a mechanical system or not with a police vehicle, the car gets forensically dissected to verify the cause of the accident. In...

    Bent Rim

    Are you talking about the lip of the rim where the bead of the tire seals too? These are cast allow rims which means... it will crack there so get a new rim

    Bug? Can turn off engine while still in Drive.

    steering is not underpowered over 5mph if power steering. Power steering on MOST vehicles comes into play at very low speeds and parking maneuver situations. Driving along above 5mph power steering really does nothing for you. no need to shift to anything once the ignition is turned off...

    Bug? Can turn off engine while still in Drive.

    I also want to state there is no difference shutting off in neutral at speed or shutting off in drive when talking vehicles with carburetors and automatics air pressure (or lack there of) is what pulls the fuel into your engine and when spinning at high rpms no matter what you do you may...

    Bug? Can turn off engine while still in Drive.

    shift to neutral??? What are you crazy? If he did that in his Olds or I did in my Challenger.. KABLAM! Shift to neutral with your right hand which is the same hand you have to shut the key off with. again.. KABLAM. By the time you get to the key and depending what rpm you are at.. KABLAM some...

    Bug? Can turn off engine while still in Drive.

    I had a throttle stick open on my when I was 22 in my 1971 Challenger going (a little street racing) about 80 and bam, here comes a stop sign and a busy intersection. shut the ignition off and steered and brake to safety.

    Bug? Can turn off engine while still in Drive.

    As figured. I verified that if the trans is in gear you CANNOT turn the ignition all the way off. If you open your door a loud beeping occurs. Nothing wrong with Mazda just the wifey needs a little reassurance that paying attention to things is a good idea.
