2009 MAZDA CX-9 - ON 5/19/2013 THE BRAKES WERE FINE. THE MORNING OF THE 20TH MY WIFE RETURNED HOME FROM WORK, AND SAID SHE HEARD A HISSING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES. I DROVE THE CAR TO WORK LATER THAT DAY AND NOTICED THE HISSING SOUND. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT NORMAL AT FIRST THEN BEGAN TO GET HARD AND THE CAR COULD BARLEY STOP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VOICE ACTIVATED NAVIGATION FEATURE ON THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND BECOMES INOPERABLE WHEN STOPPING OR ACCELORATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE VOICE ACTIVATED FEATURE ONLY WORKS WHILE IN ONE LONG CONTINUOUS MOTION WHICH DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THE HANDS-FREE VOICE ACTIVATED NAVIGATION AND MAKES USING THE SYSTEM DIFFICULT IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS. THIS CONCERN WAS VOICED TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND SALES STAFF WHO COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THE SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING THIS WAY AND ADVISED THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT. NO REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE AND I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T FUNCTION AS IT WAS ADVERTISED TO ME AND SOLD. *TR
