Didn't try with the other key card, but on mine, when I press the rubber button on the car doors or lift gate, the LED on the key card will flash but the doors do not lock / unlock or beep. So the request is made to the key card and the key card responds but nothing happens. If I just press the...

Hi, all. I would appreciate if someone could point me to or provide me the steps to remove the gauge cluster (gas, tach, speedo, temp) on my 2008 CX-9? Someone sprayed a cleaner that etched dots into the clear lens plastic and I will be swapping the lens plastic with a new one. Thanks in...

Has anyone removed the instrument cluster on the 2007-2015 CX-9? Looks like you need to remove the top dash binnacle / shroud and then should be able to unscrew. Can someone point me to the steps to do so? I want to replace the gauge lens. I think my detailer sprayed some solvent that has...

Hi, All. My 2008 CX-9 GT AWD has a problem that is not uncommon, but I need your thoughts on the cause. When I dip into the accelerator moderately aggressively after i coast for a second (not enough for the car to slow down), I often feel and hear a thump from the rear. It is almost as if the...

Not to diminish the goodness of the 2nd generation CX-9, but I have a question for those who owned a 1st generation (2007 - 2015) CX-9 and now have a 2nd generation (2016 - on) CX-9... What, if anything, do you like better about your 1st generation CX-9? Thanks.

Folks, My CX-9 had some work on the tranny done a while back. Since then, the engine feels rougher / noisier when raising the revs at idle (in park) or accelerating. Its not outrageous (like a hole in the muffler), but you can tell. The start of the noise may be coincidental with timing of...

Hi everyone. I noticed that for some time now, the red portion of the tail lamps that are on the lift gate of my 2008 CX-9 do not light on either side. The reverse and license plate bulbs light. There are bulbs installed for the red portion. I'll check both bulbs this weekend. Two questions...

Hi, all. Took a 500 mile round trip in the CX-9 this weekend and noticed a burning smell when I stepped out of my car at my destinations. Looking under the car, I have some fluid that was dripping directly down every minute or so onto the section of exhaust immediately in front of the mesh...

My 2008 GT needs a new transmission and it is scheduled for this week. Anyone have any experience with dealer replaced transmissions or can someone send me the procedure from the workshop manual. I'm curious about what to watch for. Thanks, Zoomfive

Happy Holidays everyone.

Hi guys. Ever have one of those poor decision moments... My wife was rushing to catch the train and there was not quite enough room to squeeze by a car to make a right on red. I decided to scale the curb and my rear rim caught the edge of storm drain, so it is now gouged on the edge for about...

Hi, all. Took a vacation where we used the 3rd row everyday. Apparently someone pulled the 3rd row passenger-side seatbelt while it was in the stowing clip and tore the clip out. They either did not notice it or didn't want to fess-up, but it is now gone. The trim panel that it was attached...

I stopped by Advance Auto Parts today and bought some oil filters. One was still the old design and the other two were marked "New Size Same Performance". The new filter is shorter, but has all the same labelling and part numbers. Anyone else notice this or currently using the shorty...

Hi folks. The following are the dealers nearest to my house in NY. Any of these guys any good? I am at a loss since Country Mazda closed. They were really good and gave loaners. Your thoughts and experiences are appreciated. I think I have a bad belt/tensioner/pulley, bad blower motor...

Hi, all. Has anyone's driver seat developed leather wrinkles under their thigh area that feel like that they could develop into cracks? The wrinkles are oriented front to back. I am wondering if I have a problem that I need to bring up with whichever dealer I end up going to. Thanks, Zoomfive

Hi all. When you are doing an oil change, do you guys get the entire 5.2 quarts drained out from the drain plug and filter? How much do you get / refill? I find that I am getting out and refilling 5 quarts only. Thanks, ZoomFive

Hi, all. I recently tried to call the Country Mazda service number and got a Country Cadillac recording and the general sales number indicates that as of 10/26 Country Lincoln Mercury will be closed for 7 days due to the "emergency". Can any confirm that this dealership is/is not open for...

My roof over the passenger front has started to go pop whenever I hit a road condition that flexes my chassis or if I turn up an upill/ramp. Does anyone know what is up? I have a roof rack, sunroof, and crossbars. The rack and bars seem tight. Thanks, ZoomFive

The title pretty much says it all. Drive through medium puddle with front passenger side tire and I will squeal the next 2 time I try to accelerate from a stop. I am thinking wet belts, but why do they get wet so easily and consistently. No squealing at other times though. Thanks, ZoomFive

Does anyone get a clicking in the front passenger side suspension when going over bumps? Does anyone know what the cause is? Thanks, ZoomFive
