Hi All - CX-9 in the works

Well, they had it another two days. Were finally able to see the fault happen. Traced it through the brake system to the towing package wiring. Seems a connector fir the tow package was incorrectly hooked up in the port when the vehicle arrived in the US, and was intermittently grounding. They corrected and extensively tested. I got the vehicle back last night, and so-far, so-good. Fingers crossed. They are providing lots of feedback to Mazda so as to prevent future problems like this on other cars, and also to make diagnosing easier in the future. Their head electrical tech literally spent a few whole work days on the issue. I hope my story helps others some day.

Great to hear! Was your tow package port installed? I did not know that this was possible based upon what my dealer told me. As a result, I had to order mine installed at the factory. Good info.
