thanks for the advice

thanks for replies, took to dealer when it was 28 degrees out. They are still saying this is normal for this motor, drove the service mgrs demo and sounded fairly similar. Because i drove the 5 miles to the dealer the engine was a little warmer and the beyond terrible sound it makes before...

I can't handle the ticking, clicking, clacking motor noise in my 2013 CX9, basically only happens in cold weather-below 40 degrees. Start it up in the morning in my garage and when driving up the street the engine sounds like a Power Stroke diesel in a Ford pick up. You hear it in the low rpm...

thanks for the feedback, guess driving one car for 10 years and getting a new one you look for differences.

Thanks, from looking at pictures the 08 guards would be the same as 13, looks like the lower trim hasnt changed on the car.

Just purchased new CX9 and can't decide if I want to put on Splash Guards or not. I didn't at purchase time because hadn't seen any with them and thought they might not look too good with the rubber on the lower plastic molding. I have now seen many on this forum with the Guards, I have always...

Always have bought new cars and have some strange problems that usually take a few folks and or some calls to figure out. See if somewhat close to a Mazda dealership you can duplicate the problem. Then take the service mgr or who he deems his best tech on the ride to demonstrate, dont take...

Thanks, I have been looking at other cars since I noticed this and havent found one that has this exposed rubber gasket. I guess Mazda knows what they are doing.

Just bought a new CX9 Touring a few months ago and noticed when washing the lower clading/molding on doors the rubber gasket that runs the length from back of front wheel to front of rear wheel. The gasket is in place to seal out water/grime from getting into inside door jam of the molding...

i just bought a new cx9 touring in august, the car is short on storage space. I put every thing on the credit card for the rebates so never have change. When I switched out of my pathfinder just ended up storing less stuff. The little area under in front of shifter I put my phone and employee...
