Got a new problem/oddity...maybe? here's the scenario... just came home and had all the windows and moonroof open for breeze (2115 CT approx)...it's a wonderful 80 deg F here in Dallas (FINALLY!) so was taking advantage of it while we can!  had the A/C off, recirc off, to pull fresh/cool air in to the cabin and it was great...BUT, in th rear it was blowing at least 10 degrees hotter than the front vents. Turned the front control (and rear) all the way down as far as they'd go...was reading a setting of 60 deg for the system setting...the air coming in the front vents felt like the outside air BUT, the rear still felt warm...still at least mid 70s if not warmer...if set the system for rear control, it got even hotten...shut off the rear control, and it was cooler but nowhere near what we were feeling in the front. ideas? suggestions? TIA...Dave

Replying to: wdhyte (Aug 30, 2009 6:42 pm) We live in Colorado (not always cooler but lower humidity). We notice that the front vents (with a/c and heat off and temps down to 60) blow air that is never as cool as the outside air. The rear vent system blows air that is slightly warmer than the front vents. We just assumed that the rear vent was not really designed to vent air from outside, but to assist cooling the rear by a/c or heat the rear with active heat ( both of which it does very well). We don't know for sure but have guessed or assumed that Mazda's design is flawed. The front vents are probably influenced by the heat from the engine and the rear vent has an additional distance to transmit the air; therefore, allowing it to warm even more. We have learned to live with it. It does help a lot to open the roof. But we run the a/c almost all the time. If your rear vent does not cool with a/c then there is a problem. Our grandchildren frequently turn the rear off when I run the a/c because it is too cold for them. We have owned many vehicles and never noticed a problem with the outside air until the CX9.

My question is for ceric, mazdatechie, or anyone that has access to a shop manual. I just bought this used 2007 CX9 and I noticed that the glove compartment has a "damper" on the right side that attaches to the door of the glove compartment to perhaps prevent the door from just flopping open. Mine is unattached and I tried pulling on the little arm to re-attach it but then noticed that it may be broken. Is this damper easily replaceable by removing the glove compartment door off and accessing it that way or does it require removing half the dash to get to it? Any help would be appreciate it. Thanks!

Replying to: vg33e power (Sep 04, 2009 7:55 am) I assume that you're talking about the lower one. I don't know what you meant by "broken", but mine (supposedly not "broken") is merely hooked on to the round head on the door so that it holds on to it. It is quite loose (wiggling) but it does the job it is supposed to. There is no "damping effect" as far as I can feel. Anyway, if indeed it was broken, the dealer would know if there is a separate part number for the linkage arm. If not, you will need to buy the entire ensemble. That would cost you $$$.

Replying to: ceric (Jun 05, 2009 10:09 am) My previous 06 Mazda5 had the same noise and was fixed via a very well known TSB for Mazda5's about the noise in the fromt or rear suspension. The culprit was the sway bar bushings. Mine were replaced and I never hear another noise out of them. I wonder if the same applies here to our CX9's??? If that is the case, is Mazda contracting the same vendor to make its sway bar bushings for its entire line-up??? Any help?

I bought at 2008 CX-9, 33000 miles, about 3 weeks ago. When we went to the mountains last week, there was a problem with the brakes going down hills in all of the I-70 traffic. They were pulsing, that is the only word I can think of to call it. Before this I had a Subaru Outback, that also did this, but not until there was 75,000 miles on it. Has this happened to anyone else?
