    AC cool but not cold (2018 CX-9)

    Well, the reason I'd likely never buy it recommend a Mazda isn't BC of the car itself, but the many overly cocky service people at dealerships. He actually told me straight up to go back to the dealer I bought it from. I explained I had moved to 'this area' (75 kms away) and it's more convenient...

    AC cool but not cold (2018 CX-9)

    I called up my local Mazda dealer. They basically told me it's not covered and to fit the bill myself. I brought up that I had ongoing AC issues in the past. He went through my notes quickly and said he didn't see any. I mentioned the issue in the TSB is exactly what I've noticed, even in the...

    AC cool but not cold (2018 CX-9)

    So it seems this is exactly my issue. Looking at the link you provided and then navigating to the TSB, cause 1 is exactly the issue where my leak is at the bottom of the condenser on the middle and passenger side. (See attached). How does this TSB work exactly? It's covered under their recall...

    AC cool but not cold (2018 CX-9)

    So I removed the bottom plastic trim under the radiator and using a blacklight, I'm trying to find a leak in my AC. Some background info: AC is blowing hot. It never actually got cold like my other vehicles throughout my ownership (since new). This summer though, I'm actually melting. It...

    Hood latch broken (2018 CX-9 GT)

    Just an update, the hatch is really easy to replace. A few knobs to pull up and two screws to undo. The cable will need to be put back. It was a broken spring. No biggie, easy fix.

    AC cool but not cold (2018 CX-9)

    Ummm... Has anyone tried pushing more AC additive (R134) into the low pressure line?

    Change Rear Brakes on 2016 CX-9 with electric emergency brake?

    Doesn't really surprise me as the rear brakes in these cars are said to grab first on sight initial contact to minimize front dip sensation during normal driving. My personal experience is I needed to replace the rear will before the fronts, the fronts had another 40% live easily at the time...

    Long Term Review - PowerStop Z17 Evolution Plus Ceramic Brake pads - 2nd Gen CX-9

    I like em! A lot! It was cheaper than the OEMs from Mazda and they grab better, much much less brake dust, little if no rusting on the rotors, no squealing of any kind. The Powerstops went on without an issue, just watch the rubber boot bushing. You won't regret it!

    Mike's 2018 CX-9 Signature

    I bought a battery for my wife's Jetta sometime back. Car for totaled (by me 😔) but I was able to get the new Kirkland battery out before it was gone for good... It sat on my concrete garage floor for nearly three years before I decided to hook it up to my 04' Eclipse GTS, now that I fixed the...

    CX-9 Wheel Spacers installed

    At minimum I'd say add back the 25mm to the tire width :p I used back stock wheels and tires, but I'm certain you can go wider..
