- 2013 CX-9 Grand Touring
Hello all! I'm sure I'm not the first to have been completely shocked by this whole DRL debacle. My 2013 Cx-9 has 48,000 miles and the passenger DRL went out. I was surprised that the owners manual said they had to be changed at the dealer, but I complied. I called the 3 dealers around me (each an hour away) and they all gave me a similar estimate of $65-$70. I decided to go to the smaller dealer.
The mechanic worked on it for about an hour before they came in and told me that they cannot change the lamp, it has to be the whole headlight assembly. A cool $1300. I said (not so quietly) Holy Sh*t! Are you kidding??? Well, I'm not doing that. This is the worst design flaw I've seen in any car I've owned!
So, do I have any options? I tweeted at MazdaUSA in hopes they can help. We'll see about that.
I've seen a thread about disabling them, but it's for the CC-5. Does it work? Will it mix up any of the other lights?
Thanks in advance.
