    CX-9 OEM Tires

    Just replaced the Falkens on our GT, got 39k out of them. Maybe could have got another 4k, but got a non repairable puncture in one. Picked up the GY Maxlife and got a great deal on them. Looks to be a good tire and they are quiet like the Falken's. Will update opinion after we get some...

    Just replaced rears on out 2017 @ 38,500 mi. Were down almost to the plates. I consider our driving style to be easy on brakes. Glad I had seen this thread earlier so I was prepaired.

    Here is the procedure for the CX-5, same for the CX-9 Switching On Maintenance Mode 1. Switch the ignition ON (engine off). (you have to press the start button TWICE) pressing once only gives you ACC power, (do not press on brake otherwise engine will start, engine must be off) 2. Release...

    2007~2015 CX-9 wouldn't start

    Most likely a battery issue. Take CX9 to auto parts for a load test. Today's batteries seem to fail at once rather than getting weak. If it truned over with a jump it likely a battery.

    I agree, had to go to GT to stay away from AWD

    2018 CX-9 GT - Serious Brake Fade

    Same exact thing happened to us on the drive down the hill from Lake Tahoe to Reno. There was only the wife and I in an unloaded 2017 GT. Was trying to use the brakes sparingly, on for 10 seconds then off for 30-40. The whole front end was shaking when applied like a badly warped rotor. CX-9...

    Can't reset Service past due reminder 2017

    Wife took ours to dealer for this issue. Showed dealer photo of dash message. Said oh yes, easy fix. Took to back and came out 5 minutes later and said you are all set. Message back on the next day. (shrug)

    NGK Cross reference # for 2017 CX-9 Spark Plug

    I believe that the turbo engines like CX-9 are 40K and the NA engines are 100K. In addition to our CX-9 we also have a Kia Optima turbo with Iridium plugs that have a 40K interval. There have been reports on the Kia forums that heat stress from the turbos, can crack the insulators. There have...

    I have heard of others with this issue. On occasion when vehicle is started the "Service past due" alert will appear on the dash display for 5 seconds then disappear. I have gone into the Mazda Connect, Applications, Vehicle Status, and maintenance. then reset all three categories. I have...

    What did you pay for your CX-9?

    Good price on GT with that MSRP. FWD should be at least $1,700 less as well as better fuel economy and more reliable if AWD is not needed.

    Had same noise with our 2017 at 12K miles. I took front brakes apart and lubed pins, shims and tabs with grease. they were quiet for only 1k miles. Took to dealer and they replaced front pads with "reformulated pads" under warranty. No problems since, now with 29k.

    Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    I used the trim removal tool. Just lift up on the upper trim and the two tabs release. Them just pull back on the panel and move it off to the side. I did not detach the wiring as there was enough room to move it around. I took out the hub with the surrounding panel, then detached the hub...

    Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    Just did my kit install today. Took me 1 1/2 hrs and I went slow to avoid damaging anything. Hardest parts were pulling the wires from the foot well to the rear hub. Fish tape kept getting hung up, took me about 10 minutes. Also removing the old hub, took out the hub with the trim piece as...

    2018 GT - Brakes after 16k?

    Had ours in to check the brake noise, it was squealing only at low speed light breaking. I had lubed the brakes earlier and the noise had gone away then came back. Got new front pads under warranty @ 17,000 miles. TSB # 04-006/18. We will see how long they stay quiet.
