2/50000=0.00004=0.004%
Thanks, not sure what I did there.
I need a math lesson. Why does .00004 turn to .004 as a percentage?

Because the number you get after doing the dividing still needs to be turned into a percentage, which requires shifting the decimal point two spots to the left (i.e. multiplying the number by 100).
Simple example:
1/100 = .01 = 1% = .01 x 100
I wouldn't fret, as potential buyers. These types of horror stories can be found for just about every single new model out right now, yes the Hondas and Toyotas included. Check out their forums. I just ended my months-long research/car shopping by purchasing a 2018 Traverse. I can assure you, nobody is more concerned about cost of ownership, overall quality, reliability and longevity than me right now. XD
But, it's my wife's lesson to learn. Just couldn't convince her the CX-9 was the right vehicle.
Many of these gremlins have simple solutions, but understandably, the car is hexed to the owners after one or more occurrences of leaving them stranded...
Well, so I spoke with both dealership and Mazda NA. As I mentioned, I had a case opened with Mazda for this. They offered to replace the car with a new one that is further away from the manufacturing date than ours was. Since we want a full refund instead of a replacement car, we have to go via the Lemon Law route. That means, I have to fill out paper work with BBB (already filled out initial online form) and then wait for them to send us a booklet with more information. We then have to send a certified letter to Mazda. From there, they contact us and it goes from there. This will probably take a while....but I am hoping for a fast resolution. We just want to get our money back and move on.
Too bad you don't want a new CX-9 replacement. 99.99% don't have the problem you experienced. Does your wife think this is common or that all Mazda's suck after this experience?
Well.. every car company will have its share of lemons. The most important thing is how they handle the situation. In this case, Mazda is willing to exchange for a brand new vehicle which you really have no losses or gains. It's the right thing to do. You can only "blame" them for not going above and beyond by offering you vouchers/certificates for accessories for the time wasted.

Well, I thought I would give you guys an update.
Mazda worked with us and will be doing a buyback. We are meeting their agent at the dealer tomorrow to complete the paper work. Basically, full refund what we paid.
We already purchased 2018 X3 with all the bells and toys.
