VEHICLE SUDDENLY DID NOT BRAKE AS EXPECTED. BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD TO PRESS AND UNRESPONSIVE. BRAKES MADE NOISE WHILE DEPRESSED. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT THE TIME, AND DID NOT HAVE THE ISSUE EARLIER IN THE DAY.

I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS BY 73,000 MILES. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A WHEEL BEARING DEFECT, AS I NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THIS ON ANY OF MY CARS DURING MY 27 YEARS OF DRIVING. MAZDA CX-9 IS BASED ON FORD EDGE AND FORD IS KNOWN FOR BAD WHEEL HUB/BEARINGS AND THIS MAY BE RELATED. SHOULDN'T THIS BE RECALLED? I'M UNHAPPY WITH THIS CAR AS I FEEL THIS REPAIR IS TOO SOON AND NOT CHEAP, $650-700 PER WHEEL. IF THE CAR WAS OVER 100-150K MILES, THEN I WOULD UNDERSTAND ONE WHEEL BEARING REPLACEMENT, BUT TWO WITHIN 73K MILES? READ SOME BLOGS THAT IT'S NOT UNUSUAL TO REPLACE ALL FOUR WHEEL BEARINGS ON THIS CAR UNDER 100K MILES. PLEASE ADVISE, AS THIS ISN'T SAFE FOR MOMS DRIVING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN LIKE MY WIFE, LET ALONE OTHERS. THIS CAR SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, RECALLED ASAP AND REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE OR REFUNDED. THANK YOU. *TR

BRAKE HISSING FROM PEDAL AREA AND BRAKES ARE VERY HARD TO PRESS. DIFFICULT TO STOP VEHICLE WITHOUT APPLYING LOTS OF PEDAL FORCE UNTIL A CERTAIN POINT WHERE BOOSTER STARTS WORKING AND VEHICLE STOPS QUICKLY. DANGEROUS AT FIRST BECAUSE VEHICLE DOESN'T SEEM TO STOP WITHOUT A GREAT DEAL OF PEDAL FORCE THEN SUDDENLY STOPS QUICKLY AFTER MORE PEDAL TRAVEL. ALSO, ENGINE RUNS ROUGH WHEN HISSING SOUND IS HEARD- PROBABLY DUE TO LOSS OF VACUUM. PROBLEM IS AT ALL SPEEDS. IT TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF DISTANCE TO STOP AT HIGHER SPEEDS FOR EMERGENCY BRAKING (VERY DANGEROUS).

I HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES BECAUSE OF THE BALL JOINTS AND CAUSING MY WHEEL TO COME OFF. MY BREAKS SOUNDS HORRIBLE EVEN AFTER I HAD THEM SERVICED IF IT RAINS REALLY BAD I GET THIS CRANKING NOISE I HAVE A WEIRD SOUND TO MY VEHICLE RIGHT NOW COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND NOT SURE WHAT'S THE PROBLEM. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO FAST BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS VEHICLE

ON TUESDAY MAY 31, 2016 I TOOK MY MAZDA CX9 TO MAZDA DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL, REFERENCE ##15V451000. I TOLD THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I WAS GLAD TO BE BRINGING THE CAR IN AS IT WAS MAKING NOISES IN THE DRIVER FRONT AND THAT THE STEERING SEEMED LOOSE. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS INSPECTED, DID NOT REQUIRE THE RECALL AND THAT ALL SUSPENSION PARTS WERE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. ON SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2016 WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING MY 2 CHILDREN AND ELDERLY MOTHER, MY BALL JOINT AND LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY ON RAMP. I WAS INFORMED BY POLICE THAT I WAS LUCKY THIS HAD NOT OCCURRED MOMENTS LATER (AT HIGH SPEED) AS IT WAS LIKELY TO HAVE CAUSED A SEVERE OR POSSIBLY FATAL ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVE ABLE AND REQUIRED ME TOW MY VEHICLE AND FIND ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION.
