    Length of first gen CX-9?

    According to the mazda website the stated lenght of the cx-9 is supposed to be 199.8 inches. When I measured the length of the 9 it measures 195 inches and that includes the bumper bar I installed on the rear bumper. Is it common for vehicle manufacturers to exaggerate the lenght of a vehicle?

    2.5T Cracked Cylinder Head/Leaking Coolant Report to the NHTSA

    So I am guessing that the service advisors have gotten worse rather than better. I was very fortunate then.

    2.5T Cracked Cylinder Head/Leaking Coolant Report to the NHTSA

    Your service advisor really screwed you over. Did they speak to your 3rd party warranty company? If so they should have said the right things in order to get this covered even partially. They know how to do this, the fact that they didn't tells you they are not for the customer. When I had the...

    2011 CX-9 Torque Converter replacement options?

    Lancer, you cannot get a car for 2k at this time. You would be surprised at what they sell for 2k. Usually junk. Your car is worth a lot more than that. You only have a little over 100k miles on it, just service the trans on a regular basis like every 20k and you should be good to go. The 3k was...

    Mazda extended warranty for CX-90

    Thanks for the info. Has anyone else on here gotten the extension? I was hoping that someone would have purchased the 9yr 100k mile and would share the price. I also read somewhere that they extended it another year to 10/100, any truth to that. Thanks again.

    CX-9 chirping sound

    You don't hear it from the outside when you roll down the window for some reason. That is the first thing I did when I had the problem. You can only hear it from inside the car. I tried the spray and it worked for awhile but not anymore. When I get a chance I will try to get replacements from...

    2009 CX-9 Intermittent starting problems - Do dealers/shops have machines to diagnose?

    I had the same exact problem. I thought at first it was the battery. Turned out to be the starter. This happened during the pandemic so my neighbor rocked the car back and forth in order to get it started. I didn't know that you can do that with an auto trans car. Took it to pep boys which was...

    Recommendations for replacement struts (2012 CX-9)?

    With me it is the drivers side. The car slams down hard like when you see someone in the action movie whose head gets slammed into a counter that type of sound. It is terrible. I replaced the struts with quick mount types and it didn't last that long. This car is to heavy for the suspension...

    2007~2015 Mazda CX-9 water pump replacement/service expected costs?

    I had mine done because it was leaking externally. I was one of the lucky ones. On this forum people didn't know that it was leaking because it was an internal leak. You should check your coolant level every 3 days if you are loosing coolant. If not I would then say once a week. If you notice...

    2007~2015 Mazda CX-9 water pump replacement/service expected costs?

    When the water pump gets replaced you also need to replace the timing chains as they have been compromised as well. The other stuff like the oxygen sensors should be replaced because they will be due shortly thereafter. I would replace the other parts mentioned also as it is easier to get to and...

    2007~2015 Mazda CX-9 water pump replacement/service expected costs?

    Since it is driven by the timing chain replace that also with whatever parts are associated with the replacement of said chains. Also the spark plugs , coils if you want, maybe valve cover gaskets and you definitely want to replace the plenum gasket and the oxygen sensors if you are closing in...

    It might be the brake light switch. When I had that problem with my ford years ago I also noticed that the brake light in the back would not turn on. After replacing the switch the problem was gone. It might be this one I am not sure. Either way please let me know what it is and the picture of...
