While I was driving my almost new 2017 CX9, when it suddenly started to do all sort of strange things and all the lights started to light up, immediately I went to the distributor ( service) and they detected that the fault was the barometer which was giving abnormal figures.
the barometer is inside the ECU so the whole ecu had to been changed. the warranty was immediately executed and changed as soon as the part was available. the distributors service was good and fast.
after the change of the part the Cx9 has been working normal and I feel confident that it will not happen again , the strange thing is that immediately I noticed a different behavior of the car.
a) usually the CX9 had a lot of torque steer while pressing the accelerator to the top from a low speed ( first gear or second) suddenly this was not felt any more.
b) the steering wheel feels a bit tighter and more precise.
My first feeling was that once they changed the ECU the cx9 was slower than before but I guess its just a feeling due to the lack of torque steer, so it might just feel less dramatic, but there is a change there, has anyone had this kind of situation? the new ECUS have a different setting? does this has something to do with g vectoring?
any ideas or comments?
