SUVs Mazda CX-9 Mazda CX-9 Problems

You are in the Mazda CX-9 Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
I purchased the Mazda CX-9 in May 2007. Since purchasing the vehicle I have had to take the car into the dealership 8 times. It all stated with carpet/foam square missing from driver side. The carpet was ripped and a square piece of foam was missing. Thankfully, it was replaced. Although, the first time it was installed wrong. I had to take it back a few weeks later when the carpet started creeping out the sides. In addition, I have had the front door checkers recalled, my right passenger door lock was intermittent, check fuel light has come on, a tire rim was dis-colored and thankfully replaced. Currently, the car is at the dealership because a rock hit my AC condenser and my AC is no longer working. It's not a manufacturer problem, but could this be a design flaw? I do not recall a rock hitting my car to cause such damage. The dollar amount is approx $1100 to fix. At this point, I am frustrated that my "new" car has had so many issues. I love the car - it looks sharp, its has a lot of cool bells and whistles, and it drives like a dream. My kids love it, too. I would like to know if there are other frustrated CX-9 drivers out there? Any opinions? Should I upgrade to the 2008? Wait for 2009?

For that matter, my Prius had two recalls during its 1st year, and Prius is one of the most reliable on market today (check consumerReport). Anyway, good luck with your '07.

Purchased my car in July 2007. Dec 2007 a grinding noise started under the hood. Dealer replaced front end differential - no change. Dealer said "had to blow out carbons from the engine" BS - no change. February 2008 replaced entire engine - 2 weeks later same noise reoccured. Any help?

I purchased my CX 9 new last year... 2007 All seemed ok but now ..... When I turn it off, the interior fan comes on full blast and runs for up to 5 minutes... the dealer gave me a L O N G song and dance about how this is supposed to happen to equal the air temp... I told him to then please explain why is it when the engine is off and I turn on the parking lights the fan comes on, or when I push the key remote and the alarm chips 2 x as it supposed to do .... and the fan comes on 2 x also also.... Why does the car creak like a old dump truck.... it sounds like a 40 ton truck with rusty leaf springs... to give you a better idea... those old yellow school buses at low speed on a bumpy road... everybody knows that sound... C'mon Mazda fix the issues At this rate I will NEVER by another one of these cars or recommend them !

Replying to: k1200 (Jul 10, 2008 3:41 pm) Interesting feature. Is this the horn or the chirp of an aftermarket alarm? Based on the fan coming on, it sounds like some wires are crossed. If the dealer put in an aftermarket alarm system, they should be stepping up to fix it.
