What year and this is the 2.5 Turbo engine?

Anyone having issues with the 2.5 turbo engine leaking coolant and the engine needing to be replaced like some are having with the CX-9? See this thread in the CX-9 forum for details on that...

Had mechanic check the compression and do a visual check of engine for any coolant leaks. All looks good. But I'm going to be watching this closely and really won't feel comfortable until Mazda addresses this issue publicly and say they'll replace the engine with this problem even out of warranty.

If you haven't done so already, don't forget to take this poll regarding the coolant lead/engine replacement issue: https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/ind...cement-what-can-be-done-to-prevent.123875515/

I updated the thread to include a poll now of who is and isn't having this issue. If you've had this done, please comment on the model year, how many miles you had when it occurred, when you first noticed the issue, if Mazda covered the cost under warranty, and any other details. Also those...

That's great news! Sounds like Mazda is stepping up and making this right.

If you're still under the power train warranty why not have Mazda look at it?

When I first checked while the engine was warm, the reservoir was about halfway in the middle between full and low. A few hours later it was about 1/3 above the low. I'm having the oil changed next week and will see what the coolant level is going forward.

Should the coolant reservoir always be near the Full line? Mine has about 5000 miles since last oil change and currently the line is still in the normal range, but has about 1/3 left until it gets to the Low line.

If I was one of those paying out of pocket I'd be asking for my money back. Mazda needs to fix this for everyone that has this issue -- whether or not under warranty. Otherwise the 2.5T is going to get bad press and people will not want to take the chance to buy any Mazda with that engine.

@TitoP So Mazda appears to be fixing this issue even if the car is out of warranty?

Are there any TSBs regarding this issue? I found this one, but not sure if it's really related: https://tools.carmd.com/Tsb/Download/116402/TSB5700

I did put the CX-9 model years originally in the post, but I've edited the post to say it's the 2.5 turbo now.

I just want this identified, somehow, before the warranty expires.

How many miles do you have on it?

There are a few threads regarding the 2.5 turbo coolant leak problem and ultimately having to replace the engine. What I'd like to know is there anything that can be inspected and possibly fixed with this issue before it gets to the point of actually needing a new engine? Edit: I updated the...

That's great they're covering it out of warranty! I hope this is a very rare problem, but I'm hopeful if this would happen to me and others they would cover it, even though I'm out of warranty. Currently have a 2017 GT with about 40k miles on it with no issues so far.

@highfivezoom So you are out of normal warranty, but Mazda is still covering all the costs to replace the engine?
