With new pads and rotors its hard to feel/hear that drag. I used a long bar to try and turn the hub once I adjusted them and it was tight but when wheels back on it rolled easily with the brake engaged. Is there a limit to how far they can adjust?

2013 CX-9 GT AWD Just did a full brake job, front and rear pads and rotors. Now the Parking brake does not hold the car at all. I know the 'star wheel' is the adjustment but how do you know how much to adjust? I've adjusted them then used a pry bar to test turning the wheel hub while...

Coil pack and spark plug replacement fixed the issue. Car runs great.

I saw that vid as well. Have to remove so many items to get back there. UGH.

Yes it’s a 2013. It’s just the p0202 code. Is it difficult to get back there to work? Cyl 2 is firewall side in the middle, correct? This is the first issue we’ve had with it. Is it possible to check the connection with just the cover off or is it necessary to take 6 things off to get...

Looking for a good/trustworthy mechanic on Staten Island. Any suggestions/recommendations. Have the P0202 code. Have 85K miles.

A used one would potentially have the same issue, wouldn’t it?

Had a 2010 in the dark blue and sand interior that was a beauty, handled well, enough space and regular unleaded gas. My wife was t-Boned in it by another car while packed with our daughters and friends and everyone walked away completely fine. Car was totaled but it kept everyone safe. Now...

I'm in the same boat currently and am at the same crossroads. OEM is $150 ish and aftermarket from Amazon/EBay are $30-50. Just not sure what the differences are that justify 3 times the price except for it being a 'mazda' part. Anyone with any insight? Thanks

So far, it stops very smooth, no fade even in a high speed stop. Hopefully the rotors last longer.

I just did a front brake job. The OEM rotors were just rusted to hell. They still haven't improved on that part. I went with the Raybestos RPT coated rotors and the Raybestos Element 3 pads. Has anyone else tried this brand/combination? Part quality seemed very good. Ordered from...

PTguy - I'm just stating the experiences I had with OEM rotors and pads. My wife drove the car mostly so it wasn't speed to corner and slam the brakes, speed to next corner, etc. I was easy miles and no matter what the rotors were always the issue. Dealer made the point of saying they were...

I live in NYC and am on my 2nd CX9 and NEVER had a good experience with the OEM front brake components. In my 2008 it was always a fight with the dealer as I went for the $$$ once and had them do rotors and pads. Pads were lifetime but the rotors didn't last 12K miles . But it took over the 1...

jal142, thanks for the link. seems pretty straight forward. i looked at a few you tube vid's too and I'm sure I can tackle it. I'll have to get some lube for the caliper pins and for the backs/shims on the pads. The 2008 CX9 I had, I used Mazda parts and always had trouble. So on the 2013 I...

Im looking for some detailed instructions on replacing the front rotors and pads. I went with raybestos rust preventive coating rotors and raybestos eht pads from rockauto. I have done brakes on other vehicles before but never on my cx 9. Looking for hints/tips of what tools needed, what...

Now that we have our new 2013 CX9 in Pearl White (Ghost Rider), there are a few spots that need some touch up paint. Has anyone used the Mazda product? Aftermarket? Some of the aftermarket products have a 3 part process. 3 different paint pens, one for the base, one for the pearl and one for...

I was advised by the dealer that the FOB functionality for the 2013 model aside from the basic functions is only express windows down. I thought that there was additional functions available, such as the closing of all windows and the sunroof. Can anyone advise on this as I am picking the...
