Replying to: k1200 (May 07, 2009 9:25 am) If I were you I would find another more capable dealer or call Mazda directly. A spuradic short could cause all kinds of strange problem in the system.  Very likely than not, it could be one of those port-installed accessories: auto-dimming mirror, sat radio, iPod interface, remote start, etc. One that relates to wiring but not installed at Mazda factory. (Actually at port of entry - LA for west coast) Mine has 17,000 miles on it. Only 1 problem with window refused to roll down (styrofoam got loose inside - easy fix at oil change). Mine was probably made on Monday when the worker was still drunk from Japanese sake. Just kidding.

2008 CX-9 with over 3,000 miles. When running AC with recirculation button, there is a musty or moldy smell. The dealer said that it was the cabin filter behind the glove compartment, and their tech changed it. Unfortunately, they also added an equally foul smelling perfume substance to hide the original smell. Now, we have to deal with the unpleasant perfume as well as the moldy odor. Apparently this happens a lot after the vehicle was sitting on the lot for many months before being sold. Any suggestions??

Replying to: deltaromeo (May 11, 2009 8:59 pm) What I started doing was simply turn off the AC a minute or so before I would shut off the car and just blast the air on High, just to remove the cold air from the vents and minimize the chances of having condensation (leave the windows down, or else you might get condensation inside the cabin). Never had a real issue after that. I also notice that our CX-9 was starting to smell musty like your with the AC, and started doing my old routine and we haven't had an issue yet. You could argue that it would be better to blast hot air after shutting off the AC in order to really dry out the system, but that's a form of torture if you're sitting in the car on a hot summer day! |

I have a 2009 cx9 for 1 mo. Today I was told that loss of signal is typical on sat radio by the dealer. This happens intermittenly, not just in tunnels or under overpasses. I've rode in other cars and it doesn't happen as much. Is it the quality of the radio or they all created equal??? Anybody else with this problem. Other than that love the car.

Replying to: cry1ray (Jun 04, 2009 11:02 pm) Perhaps not as much but it does happen! My understanding is that satellite reception problems are fairly common and are caused by several factors including variable quality of antennas and receiving equipment, local repeater stations, signal quality and so on. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |

I *think* I have a heat problem as it sometimes gets really wiggy, quits in the middle of prompting all on its own, etc. Other times its solid. Usually good in the morning, bad in the afternoon...oh, did I mention I live in Dallas? it gets a tad warm here even in the shade (IF you can find any)...Dave
