Replying to: teofil (Sep 27, 2007 11:03 am) There is a service bulletin on the CX-9 pulling to the left. I took my in and had them check it because mine was pulling pretty bad (AWD - 20 inches).   They aligned it, and it is better, but it still seems to bias to the left, especially during braking.

#1075 of 1120 Consumer Reports - No longer recommending CX-9 by pulleydog Nov 02, 2007 (2:45 pm)
I just received my December '07 issue and there is a 1-page article that lists several dozen vehicles under 2 catagories; - "Newly Recommended" - and - "No Longer Recommended" - Under each of these, they break it down to 'Improved Reliability' and 'Enough reliability data to recommend' and the other column is 'Worse reliability' and 'Enough data to say they're unreliable'. The CX-9 was listed under the last heading mentioned above.   I know CR/CU has it's fans and foes, but I usually trust their information. As someone in the final stages of negotiating a purchase of a 2008 CX-9, it does give me some pause. Unfortunately, it doesn't get into any detail on any vehicle in particular, except for a few models in the main body of the article.   Knowing they get the bulk of their reliability information from the subscribers of CR through a once a year survey, I'm wondering where they are getting this new reliability data from...? I could be mistaken, but I thought I received and sent in my auto survey back in the early Spring. I can't imagine there would be all that much data available on the CX-9 since it was released less than a year ago...I think...??

Replying to: pulleydog (Nov 02, 2007 2:45 pm) You would be surprise...I was considering the CX 9 for a while and then I heard a lot of "small" complaints that could be attributed to lack of knowledge or poor information on the part of the new owners...whatever the situation may be remember that perception becomes reality to most of us,specially when it comes to cars...I finally got rid of my 05 Expi ($80+ a week in gas) and got a beautiful Toyota Sienna Limited AWD...hate to say it but Toyota got us and good when it comes to cars....good luck to you

Replying to: pulleydog (Nov 02, 2007 2:45 pm) "I can't imagine there would be all that much data available on the CX-9 since it was released less than a year ago...I think...??"   Not only that, but if you scan these forums, there really are not a lot of issues posted about the CX-9. Issues with the CX-7 were immediate and annoyed owners were vocal about it on CarSpace.   I always take CR with a grain of salt and just roll their take in with everything else I see and hear... I guess how much pause it causes you just really depends on how much you really want to rely on them.   -c92 Replies to this message: svofan2 (Nov 02, 2007 5:03 pm)

Replying to: carlitos92 (Nov 02, 2007 4:45 pm) ...or how badly do you really want that specific vehicle...go to Mazda forums....remember the guy with the seat issues?....and the other one complaining how bad was the NAV system?....or how flimsy was the floor material?....etc etc....maybe CR/CU is picking up on this small items....(not small for those that complaint)...it all boils down to this..do you like the CX 9?..unless you hear terrible important things wrong,go get it and enjoy it in the best of health...think positive..after all..it is a mechanical item...good luck

Replying to: pulleydog (Nov 02, 2007 2:45 pm) I checked out the CR website to take a look at the CX-9 reliability survey. There's something odd about it: nearly every category gets full marks, except for the radio (poor), and the drive system (fair). But when you look at the Acadia survey, for example, there are plenty of half circles, yet the reliability is deemed as average.   So I researched it more: Mazda does have some technical service bulletins out there, but they are mostly about stains on wheels, or pulling a bit to the left or right (this might be the "drive system" CR is referring to), and a coolant tank replacement. Nothing all that serious, but annoying.   The Acadia has many more issues, from transmission software issues to door leaks, batteries dying, drivetrain bolts coming loose, defective seat tracks. Another website has reliability data on 74 Acadias, and statistically nearly every one of them has been in the shop once for an issue. This website does not yet have data on the CX-9.   I'm usually a defender of CR, but in this case I don't understand why the CX-9 survey, which looks better than that of the Acadia, gets a "not recommended" nod. The forums out there certainly seem to show that the CX-9 has few issues, while the Acadia has many, many minor issues that will send you to the shop more often.   (note: I'm only using the Acadia as an example, since it is a direct competitor to the CX-9) Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Nov 03, 2007 5:28 am) pulleydog (Nov 03, 2007 7:25 am) svofan2 (Nov 03, 2007 7:54 am) nxs138 (Nov 03, 2007 8:19 am)

I am not a Mazda owner, but my wife is looking for a new CUV, and the CX9 is one of the ones she is considering. Does any CX9 owner out there know and trust a Mazda service manager enough to ask him (or her) their unbiased opinion of what the drive train and audio problems are (or were), and what Mazda has done to fix them in the current model? I assume that most of the problems were in the 2007 model. Replies to this message: nxs138 (Nov 02, 2007 8:50 pm)
