    We just returned from a ~1000 miles trip (500 miles each way). I can tell you it was the most comfortable drive ever with our CX-9 GT. I love it very much so far! However, I noticed that the vehicle produced hissing noise when I applied the brake at the 60+mph after driving little over 100...

Dealer was helpful but after Mazda USA refuses to acknowledge or address known issues with tranfer cases, drive shafts...

    Any better brake pads than Hawk HPS?

    I have been a Hawk HPS user since my first pad replacement years ago after my original pads worn out. I like the harder grip of the HPS but they are not cheap. I priced a set online and seen them no lower than 55$ for a set of front HPS pads hb211f.606. So now I am unemployed and was just...
