Three problems related to front suspension control arm have been reported for the 2010 Mazda CX9. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle pulsates while braking while driving fast or at slower speeds. The steering wheel does not shake. The brake pedal does not pulsate. The vehicle brakes were changed several times with new rotors and pads on all four tires. I noticed there was a recall on lower control arms #15v-451. It only was inspected at the time of recall but never changed. Could it be possible that they are now worn and can be changed per the recall.
Control arm/ball joints- had to have replaced again on 9/21/18 after both being replaced on 1/12/2016 as part of a recall. Feels like the car is trying to steer itself and not very safe to drive. And then have to pay for another alignment which I just had done as well. There should be some type of warranty on a recall repair.
The contact owns a 2010 Mazda cx-9. While the vehicle was undergoing routine maintenance, the mechanic noticed that the control arms were loose prematurely. The mechanic replaced the control arms and the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v451000 (suspension), but the contact was not notified by the dealer nor the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
