Although, now I had problems with the brake pedal and stopping the vehicle in traffic. I brought the Cx9 to Mazda , elmhurst IL. The dealer stated the car had the master cylinder and the power booster were leaking brake fluid and needed to be repaired. The failure miles was 54,400 miles. The repair is going to be $950 to repair. I believe that Mazda should pay for this repair since my vehicle is one of 37,000 vehicles with the problem that was not repaired . I don't understand why this isn't being checked during the service check ups and or being recalled by Mazda. This repair isn't a normal wear and tear repair and the repair should be covered by Mazda.
