    Unexplained Beeping Noise?

    Do you happen to have a phone connected via BT? I have noticed that I get a beep from the Bose every time my wife's iPhone receives an email or a text message.

    Saving fuel on CX9

    I only have 3-months experience with my 2010 GT and I have filled up 10 times but I have probably driven 500,000+ miles in many different vehicles so I have developed my own style to achieve fuel economy and a high average speed. My overall average is 19.4 MPG (using a neat app called GasLog...

    I'm likely just anal and way too OCD. Is this enough buildup for warranty concern?

    Can't be a leaky head gasket or you would know about it for sure. That would more likely be anti-freeze and not only oil anyway. I agree with tom8 that it's more likely the result of overfilling.

    How many miles do you have on your CX-9

    Got my 2010 GT in April with 36k miles and just turned 39k last weekend so I have no idea what was done in the first 3-years but I have very little to complain about. This vehicle drives like a new car! Having said that if my elbow hits the door panel it feels a little hollow. We did 1000...

    New Owner of a 2010 CX-9 Grand Touring

    Four weeks and only a few nits but still very happy with my purchase. I notice that if my left elbow hits the door panel it's not a quality thunk that I hear - it's more like a cheap crackling sound. Seems to be similar on the passenger door too. Anyone else experience this and any thoughts...

    Empty hole in lift gate

    I just noticed while hand washing my CX-9 for the first time that ther is a hole on the top of the lift gate just to the right of the center mounted brake light and on the underside of the overhanging 'wing'. Is this supposed to be a plugged or is it a vent? I put my little finger in and...

    CX9 Tyre pressures

    I like to run my tires a little hard too - a compromise between ride quality, cornering capability and fuel consumption - so I am at 36 right now and I am new to the vehicle. I'll be watching for the cupping issue but it's only 2 pounds. The other factor would be aquaplaning as the grooves...

    Mild "trailer-hitching" sensation in Drive 6

    Sounds like it could be a bad universal joint or CV joint, or some other mechanical 'play' in the drivetrain. I have not had mine long enough to know how it's all mechanically laid out. And it could probably be 100 other things...

    Using Phonebook with 2010 GT

    Successfully paired 3 phones with my new-to-me 2010 GT Blackberry Bold Motorola Atrix (Original) iPhone 4 I can only load the phonebook from the iPhone 4 - the download attempts but fails for the other 2 phones. The phonebook is clearly loaded and I can browse it but when I attempt to make...

    New Owner of a 2010 CX-9 Grand Touring

    A week and only 160 miles later - I really have no issues to report. I found and ordered the 2012 "east" CD for the NAV system (eBay) as it came with the 2008 CD. (I don't expect to be in the "west" too often.) My wife finds it a little big but she is used to her Acura TL Type S. My...

    2013 CX-9 GT "Hidden" Features

    Is saving the seat memory and mirror position to the advanced key available on the 2010 GT? I've been looking for that feature for a few days.

    New Owner of a 2010 CX-9 Grand Touring

    Just took delivery on Saturday and very pleased so far. Looking forward to being a regular contributor here. I searched CARMAX, Auto Trader and the Mazda sites for about a month until a vehicle that met my criteria showed up at a local dealer. The dealer experience was very good.
