  Fun to Drive, Very Poor Quality - 2009 Mazda CX-9
  By zang3 - January 27 - 7:16 am

  I have a 2009 CX9 Sport. It is fun to drive. But Mazda has a very poor quality. after about 30k miles, brake has some issue and costed me about $1000. after another 30k miles, all four tire sensors broke and tires kept leaking. That costs another $1000. The bottom line, if you dont want to get annoyed. Stay away from Mazda.

  Shame on Mazda - 2009 Mazda CX-9
  By Ruthann - April 28 - 11:51 am

  I drove my car for a long time and was quite pleased. It had its minor issues but nothing major. The one thing I kept having problems with was the brakes. I took it into the mechanic 4 different times and they couldnt stop the squeaking. The Mazda dealership later told us thats just Mazda brakes and they all do that! That is not normal! It was only when I backed up, but then started when I stopped at a stop sign. I spent a lot of money trying to fix this problem, and I have yet to fix it. The final problem was the transfer case. The mechanic said it is designed very poorly because there is no way to do maintenance to it. You just have to replace it once it wears out, and if you dont replace it in time then it is linked to the transmission and then you need a new transmission. That is what happened to us. You know there is a problem when the mechanic cant even get the part because they dont have enough parts because there are so many cars having this issue. The final cost was $5,200, and the car is only worth $9,000. It hasnt even hit 100,000. I thought we bought a quality vehicle, and I really loved certain things about the CX 9, but I will never recommend this car to anyone.

  Water coming into car after heavy rain - 2009 Mazda CX-9
  By rant1 - January 31 - 10:21 pm

  Not happy with the car or the service. Water comes through the windsheild and Mazda will not cover it because the car was in a minor accident damaging the front fog light. They are unrelated but Mazda claims that they are related. Now I have electrical problems similar to ones I see posted elsewhere and they will not cover that either. A lemon from the beginning with poor service.
