STAY AWAY! - 2012 Mazda CX-9
By esso - August 4 - 7:20 pmI would never buy another Mazda again. After a month the driver seat started making squeaking noise. Try to schedule an appointment with Mazda dealership, the hell freeze sooner than youll get an appointment. Everyone is rude, unprofessional. I even contacted Mazda Corporate and did not get anywhere. As of this time I am planning to sell the car and buy something American. Horrible car company, horrible customer support. What good is their warranty, when you cannot get any help. The only thing what you get from Mazda is a LEMON. I have tied a bag of lemons to my car and I am driving around our town like that, to let everyone know not to buy one.

Brake Booster - Your car wont stop - 2012 Mazda CX-9
By Cookie - October 20 - 7:26 amMazda is having an issue with brake boosters in the CX-9. Mine failed today at 52K miles. I couldnt stop the car pulling out of the garage and rolled it into my side yard. I took it into the Mazda dealership, and they know theres an issue. Theres a service bulletin, and they replace the brake booster for free. I cant believe they havent recalled the car - this could cause a serious accident. There is an issue with the diaphragm in the brake booster failing in hot climates. I live in Ohio. It can get hot here, but give me a "brake" - literally. The dealership cannot tell me if the new brake booster has the same issue. Im assuming it does since Ive read about these failures happening in the CX-9 since this design was released. The car is at the dealership every 5K miles for maintenance - they didnt catch it there either. Youd think they would check since its a recurring issue. Im beyond disappointed Mazda allows the car to be on the road with this type of failure possible. I wouldnt buy this car again.
