1 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 09/09/2021

Trans seems to slip going in and out of 4th gear. Just bought this car 3 days ago and it has been a consistent problem that didn't start until an hour after the purchase once it warmed up. Looks like it's the transfer case, this SUV only has 106k on it ! this is absolutely ridiculous, Mazda needs to offer a recall for this issue so those who have the issue don't have to fork out more money for an issue that Mazda is well aware of with their vehicles.

2 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 07/03/2020

I bought my cx-9 new in 2013, car now has 102,000 miles. Car started to shutter when getting off the exit from a major highway. The problem was discovered with the power transfer unit. Picture indicates heavy spline wear and corrosion. Transmission spline also has corrosion and wear. This was a very dangerous situation. There's no maintenance required by Mazda for the ptu or the transmission. Mazda should issue a recall on both the ptu and the transmission. This is a known issue with Mazda and discussed on many internet forums.
