2008 CX9 I'm getting steady beep only when rolling. Nothing at a standstill. I just replaced one TPMS so I'm thinking that must be it. It's an aftermarket sensor that is "supposed" to relearn automatically. One review of my exact vehicle said it worked resetting. It didn't. The shop that did the...

I bought an 08 cx9 grand touring from a customer trading it it in at 3 years for around 20 grand. Still have it and going strong 11 years later. Less the AWD because the tranny spline/transfer case issue. But whatever I have a 4x4 for the 2 times it snows a year

My 08 cx9 with a v6 has felt sluggish since day one. I can't imagine a 4

Any idea what would cause the door locks to open and close over and over all by themselves in frigid weather only. Fist we used the remote start and when we went to the car we couldn't get in and could here the locks moving. Somehow finally we got the back and side door open and crawled in with...

I do everything myself. How do they test shocks and struts? Nothing is leaking

2008 cx9 115K Trying to figure out if I need front shocks and struts. It "kinda" feels like I might need them when driving over rough pavement or potholes. It seems like it might be making a noise or hitting a little hard, but then again not really. The car doesn't float when driving at any...

I have a 2008 cx9 (3.7) I'm wondering if it's worth it to be proactive and change the water pump and timing chain to be proactive. Everything seems to be working fine now but I'm reading horror stories about water pump failures and catastrophic engine failure after 100K miles Is it worth it...

I got my new key fob but the only procedure I can find doesn't work, Does anyone have the procedure to save me a trip to the dealer? What I tried that didn't work was: Open door Turn on ignition three times in ten seconds Open close door 3 times....doors will automatically lock This didnt...

Nobody? No one has reprogramed their key fob?

2008 CX-9, looking for the procedure to program my new key fob. Do I need the other keys? If so do they need to be reprogramed at the same time or should I reprogram them to help with connecting with the car? They're starting to not work.

If I order a new key, do I need to go to the dealer to get it programmed or is there a way to do it myself or a cheaper option other than a dealer? Not the credit card fob which I know there are procedures I can do myself...Just a blank key I will have cut and need programmed. Dealer says I...

I have an 08 with the same issue. it has a squeeze handle inside the handle cavity. I need to push it back with my finger tips to get it to latch shut. Even then it doesn't always latch shut and the open door indicator flickers on the dash. It sounds like I need to take it apart which makes me...

Does this mean my issue is the fob or could it also be an issue with whatever reads the fob in the car? I'm ready to get a new fob just don't want to waste $200 if it could be something else although at this point it seems like the cheapest place to start.

Does this help with and diagnostics? I never use use the lock/unlock on the fob but tried it for test reasons while sitting in the car. sometimes the red light on the fob wont come on and locks don't work other times it does come on and locks work but still cant start the car. Red key light on...

My key fob barely works anymore. It's a 2008 and getting old. I need to dangle it around the dashboard in hopes it communicates with the car. Sometimes the key indicator on the dash turns green and starts sometimes not and I need to put the key in the ignition. It's nothing but aggravating. I...
