    Chains on 20" wheels?

    Thanks - I’ll have to look up what tread and section width are. The 2016 manual has the information in the notes section. It’s not really a warning or at least not labeled as such. I plan to call the dealer and ask and try on the chains in my driveway when I receive them. They also sell a...

    Chains on 20" wheels?

    In California, yes. I live in San Diego and when it snows in the mountains in Julian chains are required no matter what car you have. I’ve never been yet, but read enough plus the news always says you must have chains before going.

    Chains on 20" wheels?

    Check with CHP. Chains are required in California. No matter if you have a 4x4 with snow tires or not.

    Chains on 20" wheels?

    Probably not. I might’ve signed something similar back in 2016, can’t remember, but it sounds familiar. I’ll look into snow cables. I think this is such a design flaw. No one reads the manual prior to purchasing and you can’t anticipate when you would need chains in your vehicle. People move...

    Chains on 20" wheels?

    I bought these set of chains to keep in my car for emergencies, in case I ever need to drive in sand or put them on (required in CA) to drive up in the mountains when it snows. I read the manual and there is a note that says: I'm not planning on switching my tires to R18, but I'm curious to...

    Is this normal window operation?

    Thanks for the reply. To clarify, the when the lock is on, the driver window can still be operated, but the passenger or rear windows cannot. Perhaps my memory has bee failing me and I haven't been driving much lately, but I thought with the lock on, the driver had the power to operate everyone...

    Is this normal window operation?

    Edit: I have the window lock key pressed because I don’t want my kids opening the windows. Today, I realized that I couldn’t open the windows either? I could swear that they should still work for me, the driver while keeping everyone else’s disabled. Am I wrong?

    Mazda developing staight-six engines

    Have you ever driven in inclement weather with a RWD vehicle? AWD > FWD > RWD ... actually if it's snowing, you're better off not driving an RWD.

    Question for CX-9 2016+ Owners

    Ok. I didn*t mention it because you asked about plastics. I took my car twice to the dealer due toncreaking noises from the front. The first time it was some bushings they had to replace and it solved part of the problem. The second time they replaced a ball joint and the noises stopped.

    Interior cabin rattling noise

    sm1ke you might be the man...pending additional testing LOL I opened the hood and found this on the passenger side it was dangling, so I pushed it up to secure it. Not sure what it is and how it could be so loud that I could hear it inside the cabin while driving, but I took the car on a...

    Interior cabin rattling noise

    It doesn't sound metallic...sounds like a plastic rattle. It happens while driving, haven't noticed while braking. It just started happening recently. I'm going to pop the hood and see what I can find. I'm giving myself two weeks to try and find it and I'm taking it to the dealer. Maybe if I...

    Interior cabin rattling noise

    My warranty is coming up and I want to make sure to fix all the annoyances - wondering if anyone has experienced a rattling noise in the cabin towards the front/passenger side? The noise is more noticeable on an decline while driving, goes away for a bit but then comes back. It happens most of...

    2017 Mazda CX-9 front suspension clunking/knocking noise

    I had similar noises. At first they replaced some bushing and that stopped the noises when goingnover bumps. But I still heard noises when accelerating or breaking. They ended up replacing something else and the noises are gone. All covered under warranty.
