    Rust appearing on tailgate-beware

    same problem here, noticed it on my silver CX-9, dealer autobody shop said they see a lot of this, plastic metal trim apparently rubs the 4 corners when it contracts and expands, painted under warranty. Everyone should check for this, especially if you have a darker coloured car

    Odd scraping noise

    They replaced the rear differential and now the noise is gone. Sad to see that after 40,000kms that it needed replacement, hope it's a one off. Guy at the service counter tried to tell me that it was from uneven tire wear on an AWD that may cause this problem. Whatever, I asked him why there...

    Odd scraping noise

    Word today is that they found some metal shavings in the rear differential. Waiting for parts. I will await official word but that is where they are now thinking the issue is.

    Scraping noise

    I have a 2008 CX9 GT, I noticed on 2 occasions that there was a "scraping" type noise when I turned at a low speed, once when I turned left and once when I turned right (at different times). Nothing rubbing in the wheel wells, noise seems to come from the underside...any ideas? thanks
