Replying to: mitchinpa (Jan 15, 2009 11:58 am) Back to pet peeves though. Does anybody elses center speaker grill on the dash buzz on rough roads? Also my driver's window starts buzzing too usually on the same roads. I'm getting annoyed with these two rattles.

Replying to: not_2_shabby (Jan 15, 2009 2:42 pm) I have no major complaints, but I do have issues with the headroom in the front with the moonroof and the NAV system is a little weird. This is my first experience with a NAV system, so I have no point of reference, but it seems clunky to me. I'm in the IT field and whoever designed/programmed this must not have had a regular user in mind when designing it. Where are the buttons to go to a previous screen, I find myself having to hit the NAVI button all the time to go back to the original screen to start all over again? Overall, I love this car. It's soooo much better to drive than my Montero Sport, which clunky and had no features. |

*Worst tire traction ever. Constantly skidding through snow, worst ever. *Poor seat heaters. Anyone else have a problem? *Paint bubbling and peeling off back emblem plate (replaced) *Poor Bose quality *"Key" light comes on frequently while driving... ???? *Windows go down fine, but "thump" on the way back up Some of these are move than peeves, actual problems. I've only had the car since May. Not the happiest.... I also am having poor customer service at my dealer. Example with windows, "Mam, I don't hear what you hear" But everyone else in my car does....

Replying to: jckeenan (Mar 06, 2009 7:30 am) My Bose sounds awesome, no complaints there. As far as the key light is concerned, look in the manual. It suggests not putting your key in certain areas of the car because it can't "see" it. I also have the thumping noise when my windows are rolled up, but it doesn't really bother me. It just means there's a good seal.  If your window sounds like mine does, I don't know how they couldn't hear it...

But "poor"? What do you meant? *Paint bubbling and peeling off back emblem plate (replaced) > Not a problem on mine. *Poor Bose quality > When it comes to stereo, it is relative. People who know will say thar all Bose systems are trash. I think mine on CX9 is way better than my other vehicles. Of course, I am one of those who don't know stereo well. *"Key" light comes on frequently while driving... ???? > Your SmartKey ECU cannot see your key. Where do you put your key when it happened? SmartKey fob can be interfered by cell phone. Don't put them in the same pocket. *Windows go down fine, but "thump" on the way back up > If the "thump" happens in the middle when rolling up/down, your problem is waiting to happen. Mine evetually stuck half-way. The cause is very simple. Some styroform(?) came loose blocking the glass mechanism. Let Mazda dealer check it out. It should be very smooth and quiet going up or down.

It amazes me what people whine about. So the CX 9 isn't PERFECT...so what? I think it's a wonderful vehicle. It is fast, quiet, smooth, excellent on the longerg drives. The ONLY think I don't really care for is where they put the seat controls. I activate the seatback control every time I get in, and have to readjust it. Just a quirk, and I have gotten used to it. I think I'd rather have the seat controls on the door, though. What can I say? I love my Mazda. It's been a wonderful experience from the day I walked into the dealership and signed the papers.

Replying to: norseman56 (Mar 07, 2009 1:46 pm) Whines and peeves are not the same thing. The ONLY think [sic] I don't really care for is where they put the seat controls. Is that a whine or a peeve?  tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |

- Incredibly annoying, every time I start the car I need to press the "Outside" button to display the external temperature. - Use actual aluminum on the trim pieces around the center console and doors. The coating on the plastic pieces is very fragile. - Programming phone numbers in the bluetooth is very frustrating. Any mistake or misspelling throws you back at the main menu. - No way to give commands while the automated voice recites all the phone options.
