2007, 2008 & 2009 MAZDA CX9 HAS STEERING PROBLEMS. WHEN YOU DON'T HOLD IT TIGHTLY, THE CAR WILL VEER TO THE LEFT 80% OF THE TIME AND 20% TO THE RIGHT. THE CAR WILL NOT GO STRAIGHT AT ANY SPEEDS AND ON EVEN PAVEMENTS SUCH AS A CAR PARK. *TR

THE ELECTRONIC SEAT POSITIONING CONTROL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT KEEPS ADJUSTING ON IT'S OWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT JUST STARTED TODAY AND SEEMED TO DO IT AT ANY SPEED, TOO INCLUDE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. I ALSO EXPERIENCED THE SAME ACTION AFTER I HAD PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. *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. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 36,000.

MY VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END CRASH THAT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. MY SUSTAINED ENOUGH FRONT END DAMAGE TO KNOCK THE ENGINE OFF ONE OF ITS MOTOR MOUNTS AND WAS A TOTAL LOSS BUT THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. 08 MAZDA CX-9. *TR

MY 2008 MAZDA CX-9 HAS LEAKING STRUTS AND SHOCKS. THE CAR IS ONE YEAR OLD AND HAS A LITTLE OVER 14,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER STATED THAT WAS SEEPAGE DUE TO BEING OVER FILLED AT THE FACTORY, BUT IF YOU WIPE OFF THE EXCESS FILM THE FLUID CONTINUES TO FORM. SEEPAGE OR LEAKAGE, DOESN'T MATTER IT SHOULDN'T DO EITHER ESPECIALLY ON THE FRONT OF A VEHICLE. THE BUSINESS WHERE I HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND TIRES ROTATED HAVE CHECKED THE STRUTS AND SHOCKS STATING THE PROBLEM IS LEAKING NOT SEEPING. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CALLED THE MAZDA FIELD REPRESENTATIVE FOR THIS AREA AND THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND STILL MAINTAIN IT'S SEEPING BECAUSE OF BEING OVERFILLED AT FACTORY. HOW LONG SHOULD SEEPING OCCUR? I'M CONCERNED ABOUT STRUT FAILURE OR SHOCK FAILURE WHILE I'M DRIVING. *TR

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

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
