Replying to: steve_ (Jun 27, 2009 11:14 am) Thanks (to both Steve and Ceric) for your replies.   But I am still not able to get it.   I can't find anything from the Online Repair Manuals guide and Mazda Tech Info. The manual in Rosenthal Arlington Mazda is for CX-7. I am looking for the manual for CX-9. Rosenthal doesn't have manual for CX-9.   In Ebay, there is a used 2007 CX-9 manual for $135. The link is here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-Mazda-CX-9-Service-Repair-Manual-Book_W0QQcm- dZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2em20Q2el1116QQhashZitem56300a9050QQitemZ370173186128Q- QptZMotorsQ5fManualsQ5fLiterature   But my CX-9 is 2008. Are the manuals the same between 2007 and 2008 CX-9?   I can't find the wiring manual.   Why is it so hard to find the manuals? Replies to this message: steve_ (Jun 28, 2009 7:52 am)

Replying to: lockloop (Jun 27, 2009 10:20 pm) Hmm, I searched Rosenthal by SKU and thought I hit it. Sorry. The CX-7 has different SKUs for '07 and '08, but who knows if any major changes were done to the manual for it for '08, or for the CX-9 for '08.   This is practically turning into a Right To Repair issue.   My online resource through my public library (Auto Repair Reference Center) just has TSB and Recall blurbs.

Contact www.waynemazdafactoryparts.com OR www.mazdaparts.org I heard that they can order them for you. No dealer is gonna stock those manuals for sales. Few people buy them.   I bought mine (new WorkShop manual) from eBay (forgot how much). They come and go. If you don't want to order by paying high prices, wait for eBay patiently.

#84 of 89 Manually invoke AWD in CX9 by rpoddar Sep 19, 2009 (10:56 pm)
Does anyone know how to manually turn on AWD in a CX9 (with AWD of course!). I have an issue with the CX9 rolling backwards on a steep uphill gradient when I take my foot off the brake (in San Francisco), and was thinking that this may solve the problem.

Replying to: rpoddar (Sep 19, 2009 10:56 pm) I know SF. You need better tires, not AWD. The OE tires are lousy.

Replying to: rpoddar (Sep 19, 2009 10:56 pm) I don't think the problem is either AWD or your tires, it's compression. In automatic mode, the compression on the engine is pretty soft - and you can roll backwards quite a ways. I complained about this to my dealer's service people, and they couldn't offer any alternative other than to switch into the 'manual' mode, where the compression on the engine is quite a bit better.

Replying to: epicard (Sep 20, 2009 9:33 pm) Thanks for the info, all! Overall, we are thrilled with our CX9. Just put 200 miles on it today driving back and forth to/from San Jose and Santa Rosa.
#88 of 89 Lousy rotors? by eua Sep 21, 2009 (5:49 am)
After I bought my cx-9 I had read couple complains from different people that there is significant vibration after applying the brakes at the speed 40- 50 mph. Well at 11K miles it happened to my cx-9. I searched online and saw many people have this problem. The reason is in the weak rotors that have to be resurfaced (cut) to remove the issue. Frankly speaking I have very bad experience with my dealership. It's all the time hostile - when I need a help they blame me that is my fault and then accept the problem. Can I install aftermarket rotors at different repair shop (not Mazda) and keep the warranty on brakes? Replies to this message: ceric (Sep 21, 2009 8:48 am)
