imamg,
Where in NORCAL do you work? I used to live in Davis ( I now live in crappy SOCAL ) and worked for Carmichael Honda in Citrus Heights just South of the Roseville Auto Center and just North of Sacramento.
 
Sorry for the bump on this thread!

I don't recall it being a TSB... just working from personal experience.

dwhyte,
 
I posted the following on the Ventilation/Air Conditioning forum:
 
My CX9 is out of warranty so I asked my buddy that works at Riverside Mazda to hook me up with a copy of TSB 07-008/09. I read through it and was very simple and straight forward. I bought the relay that the TSB said to replace (part# G115-67-730) replaced it (under hood relay box closest to the driver's side fender) and up to right now no more occurences.
 
I know that I am referring to the relays on this post, however, I do recall reading on this TSB something about doing a check on the complete control unit and thus replacing the head units if faulty. If you can get a "nice" Mazda employee to fax you this TSB, it may help you to get your problem fixed.

Key Problem by 1stmazda1

Yesterday I got in my 2008 CX-9 and tried to turn the key. The dash light indicated that the key wasn't close enough. I had the key in my hand. I took the cover off of the key area and took the key and tried to turn it. It wouldn't turn. I called the local Mazda Dealer and they had me get out, lock the vehicle, unlock it and try the key again. No luck. After several attempts the dealer recommended I have the vehicle towed in. When the tow truck set the vehicle down in the dealer's lot they tried the key and it worked, of course. (The tow truck driver did tell them that it didn't work when he picked the car up. He had to maneuver around the vehicle in the parking garage because he couldn't get it into neutral to roll it to his truck.) The dealers question to me was what do you want us to do? My answer was figure out what happened, and fix it. I don't feel real comfortable with winter coming and not being able to start my vehicle. The dealer talked to my husband this morning and said it works now . He asked what they had checked, there response was vague leading him to believe they didn't do anything because it is working now. Hate to think that the way to fix this is to have it towed. Any one else had this problem? Any information would be helpful it is obvious my local dealer isn't going to try to solve this problem. Thanks for any and all input.

If they didn't... have them check the battery in the key fob... ( I'm thinking you have a smart card key? )... It may be as simple as changing that.

According to the owners manual if the smart card key flashes red intermittently than it is ok. If it flashes green the battery is low and if the light stays on all the time there is a problem. The light on the key fob flashes intermittently. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to replace the battery. Thanks for the suggestion.

I had a similar encounter w/r to the ignition not turning on my 09 about a week after I bought it. If i pushed in on the ignition switch, I'd get the green KEY indicator on the dash that it was being seen OK but I still couldn't turn the ignition to the start or acc position; I then do what I do in my truck, I turned the steering wheel slightly while trying to turn the ignition and it worked just fine. Dunno if thats a coincidence or not but in my truck it seems to occasionally get in a position where the position of the wheel when I shut it down last time is preventing me from turning the ignition key. It works every time in my truck (F150) and now has worked once in the CX-9. If it happens again, give that a try (changing the batt in the fob is also a really good idea as well). FWIW and YMMV of course.
