I notice a lag sometimes with ours...if you don't come to a complete stop and go from the brake to the gas, it will jerk on occasion. I don't know if this is the same thing or not but that's what I have experienced.

Thanks for the advice everyone! :) We got a carfax report and it came back clean with no real issues...it looked like it was well maintained with records, wasn't in an accident. I think what we got was a horrible case of bad luck. The dealer we bought it from was a Nissan dealership and they...

I feel for you man! I am in the same boat, but with an older model (2007 Grand Touring). I think we did this to ourselves though as we bought the niner used with high miles (79K). The morning after we brought it home we had noticed the radiator was leaking fluid...awesome...brought it in and...

Shudders with a bang? Wow, anything that goes "bang" probably wouldn't be the throttle body. Is yours AWD? I heard a noise like that while backing up my AWD Speed6...ended up being the rear diff. We felt the shudders in 5th and 6th gears at around 60mph while slowly accelerating around...

We had our throttle body replaced for pretty much the same reason. So far so good!

Sounds to me like that dealer is full of crap! We just had one installed on ours on Saturday to try and fix another issue we were having....He's probably trying to put it on special order and charge you a mark up...I would go somewhere else.

Wow this is unreal...we got the car back from Mazda this afternoon and my wife took it out on the freeway...no studder or anything...AWESOME it's fixed right? Wrong...tonight my wife just told me its doing it again, but worse! What the heck? Looks like its going back to Mazda on Monday! They...

The Nissan dealership gave us a 60 day powertrain warranty which would not cover the throttle body. We were well outside the 30 day / 1000 mile too...my wife drives quite a bit around town. Right now, to us, half is better than nothing. Maybe when we take the bill to them for reimbursement...

I have heard people classify this noise as "piston slap"...I had this same noise on an older Grand Am I had a while back...only happened in the morning but gradually went away as it warmed up. I don't think there should be any worry IMO

I am half tempted to! Unbelievable. On a good note though, we got a hold of the owner of the dealer and they offered to pay half of the costs...we were very surprised! Totally unexpected.

We were just told by Mazda that it is indeed throttle body and the real crappy part is they told us it isn't covered under our expensive extended warranty! We are going to war with the Nissan dealer that sold this thing to us. They gave us a 60 day warranty..we are well within the...

Glad to hear that they will honor the replacement after the warranty expires...that is always a good thing. Ours is also heading back to the dealer on Monday. The same problem they said they couldn't replicate more than once happened again to my wife 6 times in the span of a minute going up a...

Just to give an update, the dealer returned the vehicle without any repairs. They could not pinpoint any problems with it, even though they were able to replicate it once. Luckily they didn't charge us for the 120 dollar diagnostic fee which was nice of them. Since we just bought it, we are...

Thanks. We will try that out...Never heard that sound before on other vehicles which was why I was questioning it.

Same thing happens to ours...every morning first thing, start it up, put it into reverse and "cling"...sounds like two aluminum baseball bats slightly hitting each other...Our dealer can't reproduce it either. Frusturating.

I will also ask about the throttle position sensor mentioned too...

Craig: I check that forum and it is exactly what we are experiencing in ours! I wished I had found that one before I started this one! The torque converter may very well be the cause.... BTW we have a 2WD 2007 CX-9 with towing package...81K miles. The vehicle is at the dealer and they were...

We just bought a higher mileage 2007 CX9 the other day and we seem to be having problems left and right with this vehicle. The latest problem manifested itself a few days ago on the freeway. My wife was driving home from work and noticed when she slows down to around 60mph and then speeds up...
