Ticking noise was heard as I accelerated the vehicle and as left turns where made. The ticking noise was louder when the engine was cold. Mazda recommended to replace engine immediately without further inspection. When I asked what was wrong with the vehicle Mazda said sludge was found on the dipstick. They blamed me the consumer and Mazda would not honor my extended warranty which I purchased though them at the time of my initial purchased of the vehicle.

There is a ticking noise in the engine when idle. When the engine is cold the noise is louder. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer. The dealer states that there is nothing to fix. The dealer is informing me that it was the characteristics of the vehicle and it was inspected by a Mazda engineer. The engineer claims that this is a normal sound for this vehicle and engine. I explained that I had not heard this on any of the other cx-9's I drove. The dealer tried to claim it was due to different engines. I informed the dealer that they all had the same engine. Again, he said there is nothing to fix (the ticking is normal). I informed the dealer that it is the opinion of another automobile shop that this sound is not normal and should not be occurring (I was at the other shop the week prior). The dealer responded by saying the other shop is not a Mazda dealership and their opinion does not matter.

The contact owns a 2010 Mazda cx-9. The contact stated that there was a loud ticking noise in the engine. Once the engine was cold the noise became extremely loud but when it was warm the noise ceased. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice. The first time they stated that they corrected the problem by down loading information from the computer in reference to the pcm and told her that it was corrected. When she drove the vehicle it continued to make noise. She then returned the vehicle back to the dealer and they were diagnosing the failure for an entire week. The dealer informed her that it was the characteristics of the vehicle and it was inspected by Mazda engineers. The engineers told her that it was a normal sound compared to other vehicles and that her vehicle was just louder than the others. She did not call the manufacturer because the dealership told her that they would contact them. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,500.
