    What did you pay for your CX-9?

    I bought an 08 cx9 grand touring from a customer trading it it in at 3 years for around 20 grand. Still have it and going strong 11 years later. Less the AWD because the tranny spline/transfer case issue. But whatever I have a 4x4 for the 2 times it snows a year

    Any idea what would cause the door locks to open and close over and over all by themselves in frigid weather only. Fist we used the remote start and when we went to the car we couldn't get in and could here the locks moving. Somehow finally we got the back and side door open and crawled in with...

    When to change shocks and struts?

    2008 cx9 115K Trying to figure out if I need front shocks and struts. It "kinda" feels like I might need them when driving over rough pavement or potholes. It seems like it might be making a noise or hitting a little hard, but then again not really. The car doesn't float when driving at any...

    Changing the water pump to be on the safe side

    I have a 2008 cx9 (3.7) I'm wondering if it's worth it to be proactive and change the water pump and timing chain to be proactive. Everything seems to be working fine now but I'm reading horror stories about water pump failures and catastrophic engine failure after 100K miles Is it worth it...

    Key fob program procedure (2008 CX-9)?

    2008 CX-9, looking for the procedure to program my new key fob. Do I need the other keys? If so do they need to be reprogramed at the same time or should I reprogram them to help with connecting with the car? They're starting to not work.

    converting AWD to 2WD...at dealer now could use some help ASAP

    According to the dealer the spines are completely gone in the tranny. He said he rubbed his fingernail in there and it was smooth and there is no way a new transfer case would engage as there is nothing left to mesh with the transfer case gears. So I guess if I just disconnect the driveshaft...

    converting AWD to 2WD...at dealer now could use some help ASAP

    Something is clunking bad. Dealer couldnt give me an exact reason why after taking it for a test drive. I have a feeling they never even test drove it. So even if the splines on the transfer case are gone couldnt the clunking be from the rear driveshaft spinning the transfer case and maybe...
