Question on The Brakes

Question on the Brakes
I'm new to this site and in the market of buying a CX9. I test drive one and it rode great and felt good too. The only problem I notice was, when I step on the brakes, going about 40 mpg, it was vibrating, (Warp rotors), was the first thing can in mind. I asked the salesman and he had no real answer for me. But he did give a B/S. that it's the new braking systems. I know what ABS braking system fells like and it was not. I just asking, if anyone had or having problem with the brakes.

There have been a couple posts from people saying they had problems with warped rotors. A couple of them were also on cars that were right off the lot. I'm pretty sure they got fixed under warranty. I would make sure it's done before you buy the car though...

I did read about that, Thank you for your reply

Make sure you address the problem before 15k or Mazda says "so solly challie"

what is the 15k mileage mean unless Mazda is unlike other Mfgs who only warrant EVERYTHING for 1/12k then wear items are no longer included like brakes or wiper blades.

Also I don't think "so solly challie" is appropriate since we are talking Japanese brand not a Vietnamese brand. (bolt)

I stand corrected. It is 1yr/12k.

Not sure I'm reading this right ... you mean to say within 1 year/12k I can also get my wiper blades replaced?? I know some euro automakers have this policy within the original warranty period (4y/50k).

You bet ya. The only thing not covered under any warranty even from day one (dealer may help you on it though) are tires. Those you have to deal with the manufacturer.

Can I just go in there w/ my wiper hanger assembly and get a new insert??

Sure can and also ask them for a free oil change for your trouble (idhitit)

Woah thats industry new, its always been tires/batt carry their own warr. Whats the world coming to when rotors are not covered with the basic 36/36 bumper-bumper.

 

[The-9]

Batteries are subjective because some manufacturers use their own brand such as MOPAR. So Chrysler warranties them for you, no issues. Just trying to get the dealer to beleive there is an issue is another matter

 

[cccx9]

My rotors are just starting to get noticeably warped and we've got ~17K on the car so we're SOL warranty wise. Are there any good after market rotors for the CX-9?

 

[Lindyrect]

There are a couple good sites. Here is one.

Good street rotors:

Cosmetic rotors:

I am sure any good brand name rotor will give you years of unwanted warpage. Bendix, Wagner and others. Stay away from store brands and unknown brands unless you can read reviews on them
