    Bad body control module (BCM) symptoms?

    I've got a 2008 CX-9 with 59876 miles on it. Friday morning the wife started it and the following warning lights came on: BRAKE OIL PRESSURE SKID CONTROL TCS OFF BSM OFF (FLASHING) Also the turn signal indicators on the cluster don't work, although the actual external turn signals work. I am...

    Impressions after the first week

    Friday marked owning our 08 GT AWD for a week. We went from an 01 Millenia that we bought new to this, which now has about 9200 miles on it. It had just under 9K when we bought it. It's certainly an extremely comfy ride, especially for road trips. We drove it on a 60-mile interstate trip...

    Headlight alignment

    One thing I recall on our 08 GT was a previous respray on the front fenders and hood. Looking it over, the paint match, color, and texture are spot on with the factory paint (the previous owner of this car was Mazda North American Operations, BTW). I am wondering about the lamps. Anyway, it...

    Removing stereo - how difficult / safe?

    Our new-to-us 08 with nav has the Sirius installed without the switch box. Therefore the aux is disabled. My intention is to pull the stereo and disconnect the Sirius and reconnect the aux input into the 16-pin connector. I have read the installation instructions for the Sirius and the iPod...

    Follow up to Used 07 AWD

    I see that my original thread went off topic. We sold the 01 Millenia so we will be buying a CX-9, just have to find the right one. We missed the 07 AWD but there are a few 08s coming up for auction on the 28th. Hopefully we will snag one of them up. We are after a GT with assist and rear...

    Used 07 GT AWD

    I am looking at a used 07 GT AWD with 18K at a dealer auction site. My wife and I were looking at either a new CX-7 or used CX-9 and this CX-9 showed up available on a dealer auction within hours of selling her 01 Millenia tonight. I didn't really *want* AWD living in Mississippi, but I...

    Time to sell my P5 and others

    Yep as the title states, it's time my 02.5 and I part ways. I have nothing against the car, it's for other reasons. We have a 4 month old daughter and have decided that having my wife stay home and keep the baby is more important than having a dual income and two new cars. So the 02.5...

    Dealer Service Woes

    Well today I had my second run-in with the dealer service department. The first was several months ago when my CD player quit accepting audio CDs. I called them up Wednesday to see if they could help me out by having a part ready for me; I live 100 miles from the nearest dealer. No luck...

    My 1st Experience with the Service Dept

    Well I had to take my car back to Gossett Mazda (in Memphis, TN) for my first service call. The weekend before installing an amp in my car, the factory CD (single disc) died. I live 100 miles away from the dealership so I was hesitant to have to take it in, especially since the service dept...

    Test Drove a P5 Today

    I finally got to test drive a Protege5 today. It was Midnight Blue with polished wheels, moonroof, and unfortunately, automatic. Since I won't own an automatic, I have to test drive the 5 speed to make my decision. From research I have found a few complaints on this car, although negligible...
