I sat in the new Pilot today at the auto show , the driver's armrest was just PLAIN AWFUL, how did Honda chief engineer approve this, the angle and lack of real estate for the driver's arm was such a failure in ergonomics, I had to keep concentrating to balance and for my arm not to fall off...

2016 NY Auto show pictures Mazda had two models for the public to sit in, one Machine Grey and one Soul Red. IMHO, grey looked better, red looked almost like the current CX3 model on steroids. Machine Grey model is top of the line Signature MSRP $45K (available in Auburn nappa leather or two...

hmmm... weird, seems to work for me, anyway the videos aren't very interesting, it just shows me pressing the NAV numerous times and nothing happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG27bhrrfjo BUT after pulling out the 10A audio fuse behind the glovebox and re-inserting it, the NAV works...

please disregard my post above ^^^^ , I had a brainfart and just realized you meant the engine radiator cooling fan not the interior HVAC fan..... LOL

did you check to see if the AC drain is clogged ? the fan makes noise when the blades hits the water, see this link for instructions: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123813466-CX-9-Clogged-AC-Evaporator-Drain if it's not a clogged drain and you have a faulty blower motor, you...

Hi guys, hoping to save fellow members a trip to the stealership, just happened today, my NAV button wouldn't respond at all (see video) , no matter how hard I pressed the button removing and re-installing the GPS SD card did not help. So I figured nothing to lose and try resetting the...

Drogos, when you say right side, do you mean passenger side? If so, I would think it would make it harder to extract since the plug faces the passenger side. And if passenger side is raised higher the oil will flow opposite the plug and go deeper into the transfer case. When you insert the pump...

Agreed that the OEM Motorcraft oil is subpar and the cause of the transfer case issues and definitely not lifetime. But overhype or not, I'm going to stick with the oil that's gotten me to 92,000 miles with no issues. Again everyone has to make their own decisions with the most info they have...

So does that mean there won't be any CX-9 for the first half of this year? So dealers will only be selling leftover 2015 models from now till summer, anyone know if there's any good deals on new 2015's right now?

Welcome cheapinkc, it's great that your transfer case oil change went well, glad that this post helped you resolved your drive line noise/vibration issue, sounds like you caught it in time, cheers.

have you always had this vibration from new ? or did it just started recently ? see link below, a lot of new model owners are feeling jerkiness in 4th gear, sounds like a programming thing with the engine braking, but usually only happens when going downhill ...

CX-9 with 92,083 odometer miles, transfer case oil change after 5,000 miles Hi guys, very unusually warm weather in NYC (60 degrees) in February ! so I decided to change the oil after 5,000 miles (my normal schedule is every 6,000 miles) I last changed it at around 87,000 miles right...

92,000 miles , no signs of transfer case leak hi guys, unusual nice and warm winter day in NY today so decided to drive the CX-9 up the cement blocks and see how the transfer case is doing and make sure there's no signs of leaking after the horrible snow storms we have had, I figure the AWD...

Those snaps never last, I've broken so many of them already when I installed my Hella HID projector foglights, this is what you need just in case, 10mm hole snap panel fasteners ...

most likely a disconnected hose line from the reservoir, I did a search and that seemed to be the common problem, http://www.fordflex.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=9601 on the CX-9 it's very easy to get to the washer fluid reservoir, you'll need to remove the undercarriage plastic panels...

you just need to change the light bulb, see SECTION 3 in this link : http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Articles/Mazda-CX-9-SUV-Repair-Maintenance-Guides.htm if you're talking about the license plate light, you just need to change the light bulb also, no need to replace the whole part, the...

Astriuminc, I actually think this is a legitimate test to check for sheared splines ! excellent point. it makes sense, if splines are sheared off , the transfer case will not get hot or leak oil, there's nothing moving inside the transfer case if it's decoupled from the transmission, the...

Welcome ! not sure if you want specific installation for the 4100NEX or a basic video of how to disassemble the dash to get to the radio ? if latter, see video below :

I didn't even know there was a rubber strip down there until you mentioned it !! I'm assuming you just want the rubber part, you're in luck, they sell that separately cheap !! only $17 bucks here you go, Mazda part number 51PK2...

that's how I read S197GT's original statement as well , I didn't read it as a slight to what members are trying to do prevent failures. what S197GT makes sense, if we see transfer failures at 30K, changing at 25K may be too long of a wait (that's why I recommend 6000 mile changes because 1/2...
