2011 MAZDA CX-9 Complaints

SAME ISSUE AS EVERYONE ELSE HISSING WHEN BRAKES ARE COMPRESSED -OR CAR IS STOPPED AND BAD OR LAGGING IN BRAKING. MY BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR KEPT SLOWLY TRYING TO ROLL. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES. OR PUT THE CAR IN PARK. WHEN I LET THE BRAKES GO NO HISSING

BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY OR CONSISTENTLY. SOMETIMES HAVE TO PRESS TOO HARD ON BRAKES AND OTHER TIMES IT WORKS FINE. ALSO, BRAKES ARE MAKING A HISSING SOUND LIKE AIR COMING OUT OF TIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 MAZDA CX-9. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS THE WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED AND THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,727. UPDATED 06/15/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED SHE ACCELERATED FROM A STOP LIGHT, AS SHE TURNED THE CORNER. SHE THEN REALIZED, SHE COULD NOT BRAKE, OR STEER THE VEHICLE. SHE HIT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THE DEALER BELIEVED IT WAS A VACUUM PROBLEM AS SHE BRAKED SLIGHTLY WHEN SHE TURNED THE CORNED. UPDATED 06/16/16.*JB

SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND THE DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL SEEMS UNRESPONSIVE. DURING THESE INCIDENTS, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY HARD TO APPLY, NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. THANKFULLY WHEN THIS TRANSPIRED (5-10 TIMES OVER THE LAST 2-3 WEEKS), WE WERE TRAVELING RELATIVELY SLOWLY. AFTER EXERTING MUCH MORE THAN NORMAL FORCE, THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS TO DEPRESS AND HELP BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, ALTHOUGH NOT AT THE NORMAL RATE OF BRAKING. ADDITIONALLY, DURING ONE OF THESE INCIDENTS, WHICH HAPPENED TODAY, THE BRAKES REMAINED ENGAGED, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, EVEN AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK, AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. EVENTUALLY, AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE A SECOND TIME AND WAITING AWHILE, THE BRAKES RELEASED. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, AND TRYING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. MOST OF THE OTHER INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED DURING CITY DRIVING, BUT THEY HAVE ALSO OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 MAZDA CX-9. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT HAVE ADEQUATE POWER TO GO UP OR DOWN HILLS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE OF THE VEHICLE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000. ....UPDATED 03-31-16 *BF *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 MAZDA CX-9. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE THEFT SYSTEM HAD TAKEN OVER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT THE PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

WHEN BREAKING I HEAR A HISSING NOISE AND FOUND OUT MY BREAK BOASTER WAS GOING BAD.

HISSING NOISE WHEN PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL. IF FEELS LIKE MORE FORCE IS NEEDED TO STOP VEHICLE. LOUD NOISE FROM TRANSMISSION WHEN SHIFTING FROM PART TO DRIVE/REVERSE

HISSING SOUND WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, BRAKE FEELS STIFF. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW (THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE OK TO DRIVE UNTIL THEN), SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILING.

I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED TROUBLE WITH MY BRAKES. IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP NO MATTER WHAT MY SPEED IS. IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE TO PUSH VERY HARD TO GET THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE. ALSO, I HEAR A HISSING NOISE, LIKE AIR COMING OUT OF THE TIRES WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. NO WARNING LIGHTS HAVE COME ON. I TOOK THE CAR INTO JUST BRAKES LAST NIGHT AND AM WAITING FOR AN ASSESSMENT. THE MECHANIC SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER BOOSTERS.
