| 2010 | ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL | I PURCHASED A NEW MAZDA CX 9 IN THE FALL OF 2010. AFTER A FEW MONTHS, I NOTICED THE TRACTION CONTROL "TCS OFF" BUTTON ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING UP A PAVED INCLINE. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING, THE TCS-OFF BUTTON SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE MY FIRST SERVICING. I MENTIONED THE ISSUE TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP WHEN I WENT IN FOR REGULAR SERVICING. THEY CHECKED IT AND SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH IT. YET THE PROBLEM CONTINUED SPORADICALLY. THE TCS-OFF LIGHT OCCASIONALLY ILLUMINATES ON INCLINED ROADS, IN RAIN OR SNOW, WHEN DRIVING FROM A PAVED TO AN UNPAVED ROAD (OR VICE VERSA). STILL THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NO PROBLEMS DURING SERVICING. NOW IN THE THIRD YEAR OF DRIVING, I MENTIONED THE TCS AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THIS TIME THEY SAID, OH YES, IT IS A PROBLEM.. MAZDA RELEASED A BULLETIN ABOUT IT, SAYING THE TCS NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED FOR $340, AND THE CAR SHOULDN'T BE DRIVEN UNTIL IT'S REPAIRED. YET THIS IS THE CONDITION I'VE ALWAYS DRIVEN IT IN! AND OF COURSE, NOW MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, AND I'M LIABLE FOR REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM EXISTED RIGHT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THEY'D PUT IN A CALL, AND PERHAPS MAZDA WILL COVER AT LEAST PART OF THE COST. IF IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, I WOULDN'T BE LIABLE FOR THE REPAIR AND I WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL CAR WHILE I'M WAITING. I'LL SEE HOW IT PANS OUT. VERY FRUSTRATING. *TR |
| 2008 | SERVICE BRAKES | 2008 MAZDA CX-9 HAS A MASTER CYLINDER MACHINE PROBLEM. WE REPLACED THESE ITEMS IN AUGUST OF 2011 AND IN LESS THAN 16000 MILES WE HAVE THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE11026. MAZDA HAS IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM WITH A MANUFACTURING PROCESS DOR THE MASTER CYLINDER PRIMARY PLUNGER THAT COULD RESULT IN INAPPROPRIATE SURFACE FINISH. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THESE EXACT SAME PARTS TODAY! THIS IS AN ONGOING SAFETY PROBLEM AND THE MAZDA DEALER TOLD ME THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE BRAKES COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME. OUR BRAKES NOT ONLY HAD A SOFT FEEL BUT THE DISTANCE TO STOP WAS GREATLY INCREASED. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND VACUUM POWER ASSIST TWICE IN SIXTEEN THOUSAND MILES AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1300.00. *TR |
