I have had a similar problem, and am happy to report that my dealer just fixed it.
 
On my 2008 AWD Touring CX-9, I experienced a vibration or low rumble between 25-30 mph under light acceleration. It was very annoying.Right around shifting 3rd to 4th gear. Rumble/vibration was occuring in 4th gear, and stopped right at 30 mph. It seemed to me that the transmission had shifted into 4th too early, and the engine was laboring. I was mistaken...
 
My dealer diagnosed the problem as the Drive shaft being out of round. This is a 3 piece drive shaft, that connects the front PTO to the rear gear box. They had the part overnighted, and problem solved... My CX-9 is now silky smooth... It behaved like this from new, and I had 2000 miles on it when repaired. I suspect they had a bad batch of drive shafts... I hope my experience helps those of you experiencing the same...

paulmacnh,
 
Can you tell me your VIN? I'd like to see if mine is in the same range.
 
Thx!

Here's the definitive answer. I just bought a brand new 2008 CX 9 (March of 2009) that had the same vibration issues. I brought it to The Mazda Gallery in Norwood, MA and they hadn't heard of the problem but would investigate. 5 minutes later they came up with TSB 01-0039/08. On vehicles built after Feb 21, 2008, "The no 2 dynamic chamber stay bracket was deleted....The absence of the No 2 stay can cause pedal vibration."
 
The bracket was ordered overnight and it took one hour to install. Vibration is gone! Car drives great.

Thank you very much for posting this. I have been wanting to get this looked at but figured it would be a wasted effort without a TSB to point to. I definitly have this problem and my car was built in April of 2008. What the heck is a dynamic chamber stay bracket though?

Please list the TSB in the CX-9 TSB thread so that everyone can find it there easily. Thanks.

It's a bracket that somehow dampens the vibration but even with the TSB in my hand, I can't figure out what it attaches to! If you'd like a copy, send me your fax number. It was a 100% fix for the problem. Good luck.

I'm new to the forum and don't know how to list the TSB in the CX-9 thread other than in this reply. If there is another place to list it, please do so. The TSB is #01-039/08 2008, " CX-9 Accelerator Pedal Vibration".

I copied the info you posted over that thread.
As long as people who look for CX9 TSB can find it over there, that thread serves its purpose.

I just got this bracket thing installed that was mentioned in the TSB. Difference is night and day. Thanks again for posting the TSB. That was the info I needed to get the issue addressed
