    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...

    AC cool but not cold (2018 CX-9)

    Hey guys, any write ups of replacing the front condenser that's attached to the radiator? 2018 CX9 GT. I replaced the H line from the compressor, still leaking.

    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..

    2021 CX-9 Burning oil

    That's really frustrating... Honestly, are you able to get them to buy the car back at a fair value and get into the CX-90? At this point, maybe that is the only option to keep you whole? Failing that, sell and move onto something else. That problem will only get worse... Are you prepared to...

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    I bought this kit from rockauto at a fraction of what the dealer wanted and did it myself. If you're not sure about doing it yourself, watch a few videos and get to it-- really one of the easiest things to do. The kit has good bite and after about 3-4 months of use so far, no issues...

    Hood latch broken (2018 CX-9 GT)

    I'm able to get it open by just giving it slight pressure upwards, after pulling the cable. I didn't hear it release but it did. Any one have info or write ups on replacing the broken latch? Only saw something on a Mazda3, nothing on the CX vehicles on my search.
