I haven't encountered noises in that area before, so I wouldn't know what to tell you for a cause. If your vehicle is still under warranty, you might see if your dealer can take a crack at it. Or if you're anywhere near my dealer, set an appointment and I'll be happy to track it down hehe. => My dealer's in Denton, TX.   I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you on this one. :/

Replying to: melanjian (Feb 28, 2009 5:13 pm) There are several discussion threads on extended warranties and I've put up a few so go search for them. I think my AAA plan was $1600 for 7/100,000 or something close to that.   Struts are normal wear and tear (like tires, oil, filters etc) and are not covered by extended warranty plans. I've never hard of a preventitive maintance plan.

Replying to: melanjian (Feb 28, 2009 5:13 pm) I would sriously doubt that f&l guy. How many CX9s out there do you think have 60K miles on them? Hint: CX9 came out at the end of 2006 as 2007 model. On average, Americans drive 12-15K per year. Most 2007 CX9 would have about 25-35K on them.   Besides, you have 3 years to consider buying ext. warranty. (before your OM warranty expries) As said, struts are not covered (most suspension elements aren't). f7l guys love to scare you into buying warranty. That is nothing new.

thank you ceric... by the way if i wait till the end of the 3/36 warrenty to buy say a 7 /100,000 mile extended warrenty ,does that mean i will have a total of 10 years coverage..?? or still a total of 7 years from original date of purchase?? in effect an additional 4 years???

Replying to: melanjian (Mar 01, 2009 6:09 pm) It means you're covered for 7 years or 100,000 miles total.

Replying to: melanjian (Mar 01, 2009 6:09 pm) vikefan7 is correct. A 7yr/100K warranty is misleading. It includes the 3yr/36K from factory. Therefore, you are buying the 4yr/64K extra.   Ext warranty may not be a good investment if you MIGHT sell your CX9 before the said period (say, 7yr). Yes, they are usually transferable, but some ext warranty will ask you to sing and dance and pay $100 or more for check-up before they will let you transfer (the so-call fine-prints). I once had ext warranty on my BMW (so problematic).   To me, buying ext warranty or not is a matter of financial planning. Transfer case, transmission and MFD (multi-function display) are probably some of the most expensive items in CX9 (other than the engine). Each costs $3000 or more. When that happens, can your financial situation handles that? If yes, then, you don't need the ext warranty. If no, you could consider it. Other may argue that why not opening a CD account and put the $1700 in there to help you fix CX9 in subsequent years. Chances are that would be enough (if no major items as I listed fails).

Replying to: melanjian (Feb 28, 2009 8:11 pm) Contact your local AAA office. Their plans are regional.   You have to be a member too.
