5 SECONDS AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE IT SUDDENLY WENT INTO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION FROM 5MPH TO ABOUT 40 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP. I THEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHICH DID NOTHING, THEN SHIFTED INTO PARK, WHICH DID NOTHING. STILL APPLYING THE BRAKES I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO SHUT (PUSH BOTTON) IGNITION OFF BUT THAT WAS UNRESPONSIVE. I HIT A STREET SIGN WHICH SLOWED ME DOWN AND THE CAR FINALLY CAME TO A STOP BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVING LOUDLY FOR ANOTHER SOLID MINUTE. I AGAIN WAS PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON AND THE CAR THEN SUDDENLY TURNED OFF.

I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE MASSIVE RECALL OF AIRBAGS FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW AND STILL CANNOT ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART FOR MY CAR. I HAVE TRIED TO CALL MANY DEALERSHIPS AND THEY ALL HAVE TOLD ME THEY CANNOT ORDER IT FOR MY VIN # YET. I AM BEING FORCED TO EITHER DRIVE A DANGEROUS, LIFE THREATENING CAR MADE BY MAZDA OR RENT ONE FOR MONTHS ON END. EITHER WAY THIS IS TAKING WAY TOO LONG AND IS WAY TOO RISKY AND DISGRACEFUL. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS WHILE I AM WAITING FOR THIS REMEDY I WILL BE CONTACTING A LAWYER.

I HAVE JUST LEARNED ABOUT ISSUES WITH THE MAZDA CX9 AND WHEELS FALLING OFF AND I REALIZED THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I ALWAYS TOOK CARE OF MY CX 9 BECAUSE I DRIVE A LOT FOR WORK AND DEPEND ON MY CAR VERY MUCH, SO WHEN ISSUES WITH THE STEERING STARTED I TOOK IT TO SEARS FOR A WHEEL ALIGNMENT SINCE I HAD JUST REPLACED A NEW SET OF TIRES A COUPLE OF MONTHS BEFORE, IT SEEMED OK AFTER THE ALIGNMENT UNTIL AGAIN THE SMALL SKIP OF THE STEERING STARTED EVERY TIME I TURN THE WHEEL, I DID THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL IT STARTED INCREASING. EVERY TIME I TURNED THE WHEEL THE SKIP WAS THERE, I DECIDED TO CALL MY MECHANIC WHO ALWAYS DID ALL THE CAR SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE AND HE SAID TO BRING IT IN OVER THE WEEKEND TO TAKE A LOOK, BEFORE I HAD THE CHANCE TO BRING IT TO HIM, AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE WHEEL CAME RIGHT OFF THE TRANSFER CASE AND THE ARMS, GOOD THING I WAS JUST MAKING A RIGHT TURN, MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED... I THOUGHT IT HAD BEEN JUST A FREAK ACCIDENT AND I WAS HAPPY TO BE ALIVE. I HAD THE MECHANIC COME AND PICK UP THE CAR FROM THE STREET AND AFTER SURVEYING THE DAMAGES HE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH UPPER AND LOWER ARMS ON BOTH SIDES AND THEN HE NOTICED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAD BEEN DAMAGED WHEN THE AXEL PULLED AWAY, SO NOW WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSFER CASE AND IT IS NOT AN EASY JOB. NOW THAT IT IS ALL DONE I FOUND THAT IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND MAKES ME ANGRY TO KNOW THAT THE OWNERS WERE NOT INFORMED RIGHT AWAY, I COULD HAVE HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR..

I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD THUD THE WHEEL WELL ROTTED OUT SO BAD THAT BROKE THE SHOCK ON THE REAR BACK PASSENGER SIDE. THIS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE AND ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT.. YOU RECALL THE 2001 AND 2004 MODELS FOR THE SAME ISSUE WHY NOT ADD THE 2005 BECAUSE THERE IS BEEN HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS.

SOMETIME AROUND THE BEGINNING OF JUNE I THOUGHT MY CHILDREN HAD SPILLED SOMETHING ON THE PASSENGER DASH BY THE WINDSHIELD. IT TURNS OUT IT IS NOT A SPILL, THE DASH IS STICKY, SHINY, AND IT IS SOFT AND MELTING. I CAN STICK MY NAIL INTO THE DASHBOARD; IT IS LIKE HOT BLACK ASPHALT WHERE YOU WALK WITH HEELS AND THE HEEL GOES INTO THE BLACK ASPHALT. SINCE I REALIZED THIS, THE AREA THAT IS SOFT, STICKY/MELTING IS PROGRESSING FARTHER DOWN THE DASH TOWARD THE GLOVE BOX. MY CAR HAS 46,000 MILES AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY WITH MAZDA. ADDITIONALLY I HAD A HEADLIGHT ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OUT; AFTER RESEARCHING ON YOUTUBE, I FOUND OUT THAT I CAN BANG THE CLEAR HEADLIGHT SHIELD WITH MY HAND AND THE LIGHT TURNS BACK ON. THESE ARE THE TWO ISSUES I AM ALERTING ABOUT AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF CORROBORATION ON THE WEB AND YOUTUBE FROM MAZDA OWNERS ABOUT BOTH THESE SAME PROBLEMS.
