Does the smart key remember seat position (that is, changes it to a saved one when you use it to unlock the car)?
 
If so, maybe it has remembered a position that isn't the one you want to be using.
 
There must be some way to reprogram it, if that is the case.

I've got the 'dumb' key... on my 'Sport' model.
 
But thanks for the reply/thought, it just isn't the cause of this issue in my case.

I have the same issue. It's not every day, but periodically. I did notice that it's very easy to hit the buttons unintentionally when opening the fuel door, but I'm not sure that is it.

Hmmm...interesting, thanks!
Because I typically fill-up nearly every day that I use the vehicle and always at the end of the day, I wonder if perhaps that is what is happening here. I'll have to be more aware of the seat before and after I fill-up.
 
Speaking of the fuel fill release door.....boy, I don't know about the rest of you, but I can barely get my hand between the door and the seat to pop it. If I have a coat on, I have to open the door to get to it. I'd be more bothered by it if I lived in NJ, but 'self-serve' is about all you can find around New England/NY, so I have to open the door to get out anyway. Folks in NJ get their gas pumped for them, don't freeze their butts off in the cold, and pay less than I do! Yes, I'm jealous!!

#64 of 69 Remote Start & Climate Control by hrabe

Dec 11, 2008 (10:53 am)

Recently when starting my CX-9 with remote start my climate control system does not turn on until turning the key from the lock position. It worked fine in the past. The idea is to warm up the cabin with remote start using the settings at where I left them when turning off the vehicle.
 
The radio goes on, but the climate control is completely off. Any idea on what to do?

I'm having the same issue. Did you ever figure out how to fix this?

It just happened to me too. I started it with snow and ice on the windshield. I first noticed that the wipers were not working untill I turned the car on. Then my wife told me the climate control did not work. I thought it was a safety feature to keep the wiper blades from breaking.

I just came across this Technical Bulletin. It sounds like this may fix the problem.

I was able to fix the problem. Follow the instructions below to get to the remote starter fuse box. I found the HVAC fuse #1 was blown. Replaced the fuse and everything is working fine now. It takes about 15 minutes to replace.

#69 of 69 Re: Alignment problem with CX9 GT [masudur] by theduck5

I have the same issue, all the same symptoms. Tires were worn out at 20k. On mildly bumpy rural roads sometimes it will pull quickly and hard to one side which is dangerous. I have had my dealer check the alignment at each oil change and they say it is within acceptable parameters or we need to rotate the tires and always the tires are a large high performance tire and that everything is normal. Yes they test drove it with "no noticeable problems".
 
I had a local tire shop put on new tires because the belts were exposed on the old ones. I tried Goodyear this time. I had them preform an alignment (recommended by Mazda) Before the new alignment there test showed there were alignment issues with all four wheels. It does not pull on the rural roads and the pulling on the highway is better but still exists. We'll see how it does in a few thousand miles.
 
Let's hope Mazda realizes this is a dangerous issue and steps up to fix it.
