2008 Mazda CX-9 Problems

Once you get to 70mph it starts shaking like if a the wheels will fall off.

In 2017 had my front control arms replaced after the driver side CV arm came off of the axle due to a recall. 5 years later (about 30k miles) the same exact situation happened now with the passenger side making a left turn. Thankfully both times I didn’t cause an accident but came close due to the wheel coming off of the axle. Brought to dealership, they had to get approval from corporate for the repair. Got a call 6 days later saying corporate denied the goodwill repair due to being “normal wear and tear” and they told me to call corporate. Just called corporate and they say that the dealership makes that decision. I shouldn’t have to pay for something that was recalled, repaired, and happened again 100% in the same fashion. Normal wear and tear on a CV arm is not 20-30k miles.

While driving the vehicle the brakes became hard to depress and a hissing came from my steering column, the car would not stop or respond to stop. I had to downshift to Neutral to get the speed slow enough to stop - and had passed through an intersection while in failure. I had also had symptoms I did not know at the time may be related which was at a stop at dunkins or a drive through at a stopped position - where the car would run rough the last few weeks. I thought the rough idle was gas related. I can no longer drive the vehicle and am told this is brake booster/pump issue / that other of the same parts in fords and other manufacturers are now extending customer sat programs like 13N02 because of faulty parts in the brake booster. the vehicle can be towed or seen for this problem. The vehicle has no existing coverage of the faulty brake booster. This is a car insured for my son [XXX][ to drive and It is a safety risk that this went while driving, i'm happy it was myself driving that day. Problem has been confirmed as a brake booster pump/booster failure by a service professional. No warning lights - just not able to stop the car when stepping on the brake.

MAZDA CX-9 PROBLEM 130,000 MILES-ON NOVEMBER 25TH, AS I WAS DROPPING MY CHILDREN TO THEIR SCHOOLS, THE DEFROST SUDDENLY STOPS WORKING. I TRY TO TURN THE FAN/HEATER ALL THE WAY, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HAD TO USE A TOWEL TO WIPE THE WINDSHIELD. AS I PULLED INTO A CURVED SIDE, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF, I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO OFF, THEN STARTS THE ENGINE AGAIN, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I PULLED OUT AND DROVE ABOUT SIX HUNDRED FEET AND PARKED. I CALL A MECHANIC AND I DROVE IT AGAIN FOR A MILE TO THE SHOP. HE OPENS UP THE HOOD AND POUR IN SOME COOLANT AND ALL THE COOLANT WERE ON THE FLOOR. HE IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT COOLANT LEAKS AND OIL IS PROBABLY MIXED AND CAUSES THE ENGINE FAILURE. HE TOLD ME I HAD TO CHANGE THE ENGINE, BECAUSE FIXING IT WILL COST ME OVER TEN GRAND. I DROVE IT HOME, THEN THE FOLLOWING MORNING, I TOOK TO A DIFFERENT SHOP, THEY DID THE DIAGNOSIS AND RELATE THE SAME STORY THAT CHECK CODES SHOWED THREE CODES: P0016, CRANK POSITION SENSOR CORRELATION BANK ONE SENSOR A. 1285 CYLINDER HEAD OVER TEMPERATURE, 1299 CYLINDER HEAD TEMP PROTECTION. THE CODES INDICATE AN OVERHEAT SCENARIO THAT RESULTED IN ENGINE SHUT DOWN. THEY CHECK OIL AND FOUND MILKY SUBSTANCE INSTEAD OF OIL. PRESSURE CHECK FOR COOLANT LEAK PUSHED MILKY OIL OUT OF DIPSTICK TUBE. HEAD GASKET HAS FAILED DUE TO OVERHEATING AND THE COOLANT HAS CONTAMINATED THE ENGINE OIL. THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, ASSEMBLY AND FLUSH COOLING SYSTEM. THEIR TOTAL ESTIMATE IS $10,900. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS SERVICE REPAIR. I CANNOT EVEN SPEND THAT MUCH OF MONEY ON ANOTHER CAR. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR THINKING THAT IT WILL TAKE US FOR SOME TIME BEFORE WE'LL NEED ANOTHER CAR. I CONTACTED MAZDA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE, AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS, "WISH THERE WERE NEVER PART FAILURES", NOW, I'M STUCK. SO THIS IS MY STORY!!! SAFETY ISSUES: SUDDEN ENGINE SHUT OFF, DEFROST MALFUNCTION AND STEERING WHEEL.

WE BOUGHT OUR CAR ON A DEALER IN MESA, IT WAS STATIONARY. AFTER WE BOUGHT IT WE NOTICED LOCKS MOVING ON THEIR OWN WINDOWS ROLLING DOWN SO DID THE MOON ROOF. WHEN WE TURN OFF THE ENGINE THE A/C TURNS ON EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THE CAR LOCKS ITSELF LEAVING US OUTSIDE. WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES THEY KEEP LOOSING UP MAKING THE CAR VIBRATE AND MAKING SOUNDS LIKE BANGING ON THE TIRES

(SUN ROOF GLASS EXPLODED) AT 400PM WE WERE TRAVELING NORTH ON US65 AT 65 MPH, THE SUN ROOF WAS IN THE TILTED OPEN POSITION, THE NEAREST TRAFFIC TO OUR LOCATION WAS 500 YARDS AHEAD OF US. THE MUSIC WAS PLAYING AND THE FOUR VEHICLE OCCUPANTS WERE RELAXED AND TALKING. SUDDENLY WITH A VERY LOUD SOUND THE SUN ROOF GLASS EXPLODED/SHATTERED COVERING ALL OCCUPANTS IN GLASS SHARDS. THE DRIVER MAINTAINED COMPLETE CONTROL ON THE VEHICLE AND MADE AN IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY STOP. THE PASSENGER FRONT OCCUPANT INJURED HER NECK DURING THE VIOLENT REACTION FROM THE SOUND/EXPLOSION AND COVERING IN GLASS AND WILL NEED TREATMENT. NOTHING STRUCK THE VEHICLE!!! THIS FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE SUN ROOF AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY MAZDA AND THE GLASS SUPPLIER. THE TYPE OF FAILURE COULD VERY WELL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND COULD CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE. THE SUN ROOF GLASS SHOULD BE RE-ENFORCED TO PREVENT GLASS FROM SPRAYING ON THE VEHICLES OCCUPANTS. WE HAVE CONTACTED MAZDA NORTH AMERICA AND WERE OFFERED A 250.00 GOOD WILL AMOUNT, MONEY WAS NEVER OUR ISSUE OF CONCERN, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THE ROOT CAUSE SHOULD BE FOUND AND CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE IS NOTED IN MANY ACCOUNTS ON THE INTERNET AND NEEDS TO ADDRESSED.

LETTER TO MAZDA OF AMERICA ENGINEERING 10/2/2018 SUBJECT: SHARED DESIGN FLAW OF 2008 CX-9 AND 2008 FORD EDGE STAMPED STEEL FUEL TANK (FORD HAS RECALLED THIS TANK) MAZDA ENGINEERING, I HAVE LOOKED AT TWO DESIGNS TO SECURE TANKS. 1) TANK IS BOLTED AND ONE WHERE THE TANK IS BOLTED DIRECTLY TO A FRAME THROUGH THE SEALING FLANGE. (CURRENT CASE WITH CX-9 AND FORD EDGE -2008) 2) TANK IS SECURED USING TRADITIONAL TANK STRAPS THE FORD EDGE TANK (THE SAME AS CX-9) WAS RECALLED IN CASE 1 BECAUSE THE BOLTED FLANGE IS PART OF THE TANK. AFTER REPEATED FLEXING OF FRAME AND TANK WITH THE ADDITION OF CORROSION IN NORTHERN STATES, THE FIXED FLANGE RUPTURES THE THANK CAUSING SUDDEN FUEL LOSS ON A TANK THAT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CORRODED. THIS IS OF COURSE A LARGE LIABILITY AS BRITTLE FATIGUE FRACTURE IS BY NATURE SUDDEN. THERE IS NO WARNING FOR THE CUSTOMER. THEY PULL INTO THEIR GARAGE AT HOME OR WORK AND ARE A SUDDEN HAZARD. IN CASE 2, A TRADITION METHOD OF SECURING A TANK, THE LOAD IS DISTRIBUTED ON A STRAP. SHOULD THE STRAP FRACTURE THERE IS NO SUDDEN FUEL LOSS. THE STRAP CAN BE REPLACED. THE TANK STAYS SEALED. THIS DESIGN FLAW HAS RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ENOUGH ISSUE THAT FORD HAS RECALLED OVER 200,000 VEHICLES IDENTICAL TO THE CX-9 TO ADDRESS THIS EXACT ISSUE. FORD AND MAZDA SHARE NOT ONLY THE SAME DESIGN, BUT THE SAME TANK MANUFACTURER AND CHASSIS. THE MAZDA ISSUE IS MORE SERIOUS AS COATED TANKS DO NOT SHOW ANY WARNING SIGNS OF CORROSION. WHERE SALT AND BRINE ARE USED IN NORTHERN US DURING THE WINTER THESE TYPES OF COATINGS DO NOT REDUCE CORROSION. THEREFORE, THE NATURE OF THE TANK RUPTURE IS SUDDEN FATIGUE FAILURE WITH NO WARNING AND POSES A CERTAIN RISK OF FIRE IN AN ENCLOSURE SUCH AS A HOME GARAGE. FAILURE WAS - SUDDEN, UNABLE TO BE DETECTED AND LIFE THREATENING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MAZDA CX-9. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL WHEN THE HEAT/COOL SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL RAIL WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE PART NOT BEING AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

I HAD A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT POTENTIAL DEFECT ON THE AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY ON MY MAZDA C-X 9 2008. I CONTACTED THE DEALER CLOSE TO MY RESIDENT AS PRESCRIBED ON THE RECALL NOTICE. THEY SAID THEY WILL GET BACK WITH ME AS SOON AS THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 3 MONTHS AND I HAVE NOT GOT ANY RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER. I WILL BE VERY GRATEFUL TO GET A FOLLOW UP TO SEE THAT THIS MY CAR IS FIXED. THANKS VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE.

THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEAT HEAD RESTS BEND TOO MUCH FORWARD CAUSING NECK PAIN. THIS BEND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. MAZDA SAYS THAT THE HEADREST SPECIFICATIONS WERE DICTATED TO THEM BY GOVERNMENT STANDARDS. HOWEVER, NONE OF THE OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE SEEN HAS THIS MUCH BEND. IF THE VEHICLE HEAD REST SPECIFICATIONS WERE DICTATED TO THEM BY THE GOVERNMENT THEN THERE IS SOME SERIOUS ERRORS IN GOVERNMENT SPECS SINCE THIS UNUSUAL BEND (HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MUCH BEND ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE) IS CAUSING NECK PAIN. NOTE THAT I AM 6' TALL AND WEIGH 180 LBS AND WILL FALL IN TO AVERAGE CONSUMER PHYSICAL CATEGORY AND THERE IS NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT ME. I DID NOT HAVE ANY NECK PAIN PRIOR TO PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MAZDA CX9. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES.

THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

MY NEW 2008 MAZDA CX-9 AWD HAS GAS PEDAL RESONANT VIBRATING ISSUE WHEN ENGINE IS RIGHT AROUND 2000 RPM WHEN I PUSH GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING UPHILL OR TURNING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MAZDA CX-9. WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD THE FRONT PASSENGER RIGHT TIRE LOST PRESSURE AND INCREASED FROM 32 PSI TO 25 PSI. HE REPLACED THE TIRE ON ONE OCCASION AND THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. AIR WAS ADDED TO THE TIRE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BY A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY AND ON TWO OCCASIONS BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR VALVE MONITOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAS CAUSED THE TIRE TO LOSE PRESSURE. THE ESTIMATED COST TO REPLACE THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR VALVE MONITOR WAS $300.00. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED REPORT NUMBER 127407340. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE COST TO REPLACE THE TIRE SENSOR MONITOR.

To whom it concern. Leaking water in my passenger seat, at the beginning we though that was the blower motor, we change it, but then got wet again and it went bad again, but I found out that was a malfunction factory the problem with the air conditioning compressor. I took my car to 3 different shops, where the first two, drained my A/C I give up because I was paying money for nothing. I took the car to Mazda dealer, They told me that my car have a malfunction Factory and was about the a/c system. I talk to Mazda and ask them to replace it, because this was a factory problem. They refuse to do it. I found a recall for Mazda cx5 with the same problem but not my car that is Mazda cx9.
