So this problem continues. I installed a new gas OEM gas cap and no dice, the light comes back on after resetting. I took it to the dealer to run a diagnostic and they said that they could not draw a vacuum to run the test and recommend replacing the canister purge valve. I replaced it this past...

Thanks for the tip. I checked to see if this falls under the emissions warranty and it does not. Not in my state at least since there is no emissions testing required.

Thanks for the info. I saw your posts and am hoping I have better luck than you did. The light on my car comes quickly every second trip after reset. It is very consistent. I have one of those Bluetooth readers so I can reset the light easily. Coincidentally, the very next drive after my...

Yeah, I have been on a string of good luck with the intermediate priced tires lately so I was hoping I would like these. It was not the case though. They are soft and fairly quiet, but they do not belong on the CX-9.

I just replaced the factory Bridgestones (20") at a little over 60K miles with a set have Toyo Versado CUV tires using the factory size. I just thought I would give everyone my impressions. The Bridgestones were not at the wear bars yet, but I live in Florida and the rainy season is coming so I...

Never mind. I just found some info from a 2008 service manual. It states that the gas cap light is illuminated if the initial vacuum after fueling can not be reached and the purge flow is excessive. Seems to me that a bad cap could still throw the P0455 code if it is not functioning properly so...

I have been getting a P0455 CEL code (gross EVAP leak). I checked that the cap is on correctly and reset the light a few times, but it comes back on in just a few drive cycles. I am about to start chasing down the source, but am a bit curious about the gas cap warning light. Does anyone know...

Thanks for the tips guys. I did not realize mazdaparts.org was a dealer. I checked back and now I see the links for the complete listing of parts. I will let you know if I find anything worthwhile.

Thanks, but I was looking for a place with a complete offering like a dealer. This site seems more focused on just accessories. I am hoping to find some interior trim pieces. My wife used the passenger kick panel as a foot holding to shift her weight in the seat and cracked it. I can't find a...

Does anyone know of a dealer with good prices for factory parts? With all my other cars I have been able to find a dealer with parts prices way below typical. It is insane how much variance there is between dealers on parts prices. Anyhow, I have not been able to find such a dealer for Mazda...

Does anyone know the size of the drain and fill plugs (tool size, not thread size)? I have seen some posts of others saying they use hex tools, but when I looked on my car today they were both torx fasterners; each a different size. I do not have the right tool for these and would appreciate...

Does anyone know which adapter works for the 2011 CX-9? I contacted Motive and they think the 108 or 118 will work, but they were not certain. I have seen others on here use this one on earlier models, but from what I have read Mazda has changed the brake fluid reservior many times so Motive...

My guess is that is a back up in case the switch fails. For instance, the fail mode of the switch is always on. If you hold the switch for more than 10 seconds, the system assumes that the switch is malfunctioning and turns the safety systems on despite that the switch is telling it to turn...

There's an easy answer to your question. The CX-9 is not sold in the UK. Large SUVs are not popular in most European countries. Due to taxes and high fuel costs they are much more costly to own than here in the US. In addition, the roads and parking spaces are typically narrower so they are...

Thanks for the info.

Well this is a late response, but I figure I will go ahead with it. It looks like you did a thorough job ensuring the size difference is not introducing errors in your mileage calculation. Your measured 1% in diameter and the GPS vs. odometer reading supports this measurement as well. This also...

I am looking for a cargo net to hold the items in the cargo area still. Does anyone have the OEM net? I was wondering if, when used as a flat net rather than an envelope type, if it stretches from the tailgate to the middle latches or to the forward most latches just behind the 2nd row. Also...

Sorry to hear about the problem. I just purchased one about a month ago and did not have any issues.
