- 2016 Mazda GT CX-9
Hello, first post here.
We recently got our slightly used 2016 GT CX-9. Today we got slammed with a snow storm and my wife was at work when the storm hit. When my wife got to her GT, the snow on the windshield and back window were blue as if the windshield washer was leaking constantly. Then, driving home, the wiper blades would not push the heavy snow very well. I tried changing the blades out to winter blades yesterday only to find a problem with 3rd party blades.. I saw the posts by other users complaining as well. Anyhow the the rain sensing wipers didn't work very well with the snow. Its like they didn't know what to do with the snow on the windshield.... Half way home she got message that the front radar was blocked. I looked when she pulled in the garage and there was SOME snow slush sprayed across the front of the car from the highway driving. I cleared the snow off the front sensor and the message went away. Above all those issues, the GT handled ok in the snow.
So looks like the CX-9 is not handling a typical New England snow storm very well. Anyone else seeing these every time it snows??
thnx
