Replying to: nxs138 (Jan 02, 2008 6:53 pm) Thanks, NXS. The CX-9 looks pretty reliable, but we gambled on a new model line back in 2002 (on the XC90) and we lost. We love the car, but having to pay for a tranns at 60k is absurd on a $45k car. The 2003 and 2004 have had a lot of tranns problems that seem to have appeared around 50k miles. Thanks again for the info.

Replying to: nxs138 (Jan 02, 2008 6:53 pm) No, the CX-9 6 speed automatic is NOT the same one that's in the Fords(Edge, etc.). That's why only the CX-9 transmission requires a specific transmission fluid and has problems if it gets filled with the transmission fluid that is usually used in the other vehicles.

Replying to: nxs138 (Jan 02, 2008 6:53 pm) The transmission in the CX-9 is only shared with the CX-7. It is manufactured by Aisin of Japan, suppliers of transmissions to Toyota and Lexus. It is totally different from what is found in the XC90 which I believe is also supplied by Aisin. The unit found in the Ford edge, Lincoln MKX is a GM/Ford joint venture product.

Replying to: msuvet (Nov 30, 2007 4:09 pm) I have a 2008 GT AWD, that pulls to the left at highway speeds. Thanks to the info on this forum, I was able to mention the TSB to the dealer when I brought it in. I have taken back to them twice to fix the alignment, but it still pulls to the left. Now the service manager is telling I need to hold on to the wheel and if I don't feel a tug, then the alignment is correct. This sounds like BS, any of you gotten this response? I think the dealership is out of ideas on what to do. As far as I am concerned, if I let go of the wheel on a flat, straight road, the vehicle should not pull in any direction.

Replying to: aray1 (Jan 17, 2008 11:04 am) Sometimes I think mine still pulls, too. But not always, it's been hard to replicate. I haven't been convinced enough yet to bring it back in.   If yours does reliably still pull (I think it should track by itself, too) I would try to take it up the management ladder with Mazda.   When I used to read the subaru threads, they would mention some sort of regional customer service type to help with such things. Maybe Mazda has a similar set-up?

Replying to: aray1 (Jan 17, 2008 11:04 am) As I may have posted earlier, I had the same issue (left pull) with my 2008. I brought it in to the dealer for an alignment, and it is better now. Not perfect, but better than it was. The service manager tried to tell me about road crowns and potholes, blah, blah.... Whatever. Apparently, the alignment was out of whack from the factory. The car does track straighter on the highway now, so I'm satisfied with the repair. Still notice it a bit sometimes, but way better. This seems to be an issue that Mazda needs to look at.

#23 of 89 Rear Courtesy Lights by beeme1a Jan 18, 2008 (8:14 am)
I have an 08 GT, and have noticed that the rear courtesy lights do not activate when the liftgate is opened. I checked the switch which is in the proper position and the lights do come on when any other door is opened. Is there something I am overlooking?

Replying to: onepeople (Jan 18, 2008 5:23 am) I had the same issue with my '08 CX9. I brought it in, thinking the alignment was out of adjustment, but instead, the Tech Bulletin explains for the dealership to turn the Strut 180 degrees. An ODD fix if you ask me, but it did resolve the problem.   It is annoying, to say the least, to have to fight the car to keep it straight. I would go to another dealership if the one you went to doesn't give you the result you expect. But that's one issue with Mazda - there aren't as many dealerships around as other manufacturers, so it could be a hassle if your local dealer "gives-up" on resolving this issue for you. Good luck!

Replying to: beeme1a (Jan 18, 2008 8:14 am) I have a similar problem but mine is intermittent.   When it does work, it comes on only when the liftgate is open. One of these days I'll take it in and see what they say.
