Both of our keyless entry fobs stopped working. Replaced batteries and they worked for a while then stopped again. Dealer service tech said to push harder on the buttons, but that does not work for us. Car is an '07 CX9. Seems like they should last longer than 5 years...

I have an '07 CX9. Heard pop-pop-pop noise backing out of driveway and turning corner at low speed. Always turning wheels to the right. Thought the cv joints were bad & took to dealer for repair. Dealer removed front axles and greased the splines two weeks ago. Popping noise is gone for now.

I have a 2007 CX9 with two dead key fobs. The dealer replaced the batteries earlier this summer and they worked ok for a while, but now they do not work again. The service tech said we need to push hard on the buttons to make the keys work. I can't push hard enough in the right way to make...

Had to change both of those last summer. Fan stayed on after car was shut off, but would eventually turn off. When car was running, there was no way to turn down the fan. It was on high speed always.

2007 CX-9. No transmission or engine problems. No mirror problems. Problems with bluetooth not automatically picking up the cell phone. Have to manually activate it using the cell phone. Had to replace two relays that were faulty and caused the rear environmental controls to remain set on...

bump. My '03 6 has horrible squeaking in the front when cold. The dealer has looked at it twice and both times did not recommend any replacement of suspension parts. When the temps are 50 degrees or more, no squeaking. Car sounds like an old pickup. Definitely interested in any...

I drive at least 120 miles per day, 5 or 6 days per week. Adds up quick.

My CEL came on not long after I purchased my '03 M6. I took it to the dealer and they told me it was not a critical issue. The oxygen mix was not within specs. They told me to keep driving the car and as long as the CEL was not flashing, don't worry about it. I drove the car for less than a...

anyone use Valvoline?

I have a 2003 M6. I had that problem after the dealer changed the fluid a few months ago. It's better now that the temps are up, but during the winter months it was tough to shift into 1st and reverse until after the car warmed up. Talked to the dealer about it and they were not much help. I...

I'm driving an M6. The first set of tires were the Turanza EL41. Second set was Firehawk GT. I rotate the tires each time I get an oil change, which is about every 5000 miles. Both sets of the FS/BS tires generated alot of road noise. Both wore horribly for highway driving. I got about 40k...

does anyone have a tire manufacturer they like best? I've had two sets of Firestone/Bridgestones and they sucked. Wondering about other brands. Thinking about Goodrich Traction T/A. Anyone tried those?

I just turned the odometer over to 200,000 miles on my 2003 Mazda 6. V6. 5 speed manual. Alot of highway miles on a really fun car to drive. Just wondering if anyone else has that many miles? The car has been really reliable. Starting to get some odd squeaking noises in the front...
