I started smelling coolant after exiting the vehicle from a drive. Coolant level was very low. Adding coolant did not last long. I could not see where the leak was. The dealership evaluated and determined I had a cracked cylinder head and the car is leaking coolant near the rear of the engine. This could cause the engine to seize should coolant get into the engine. The dealer (new rochelle Mazda) explains the cylinder head needs replacing. The dealer also observed bad rear sway bar links. One was detached. The car is serviced at the same dealership every 5k miles. The car has approximately 85k miles. The cylinder head has been repaired by the dealer under the extended warranty. Safety risk was moderate as the car could have stalled on the highway. The component was inspected by the warranty company and dealer only. The only warning lamps that showed up once were both brake indicator lights came on and the climate control would not warm the car.

While I have not been involved in an accident yet, I have discovered an issue that is believed to be the same issue that other models are covered under a recall, yet for some reason my VIN is not included. The bulleting reference number is 02-001/20 that covers Mazda 2016-2020 cx-9 models. I have a 2018 cx-9 touring that is exhibiting the exact action of the recall which is "creaking noise from front lower arm bushing/clunking noise from front shock absorber coil spring when driving over bumps". It is only getting worse as time goes on. I am confused as to why some vehicles would be included in this recall yet my year model is experiencing the same issues but is not covered under the recall. I don't know if people are not reporting it, which is why I am filling out this report today.

The contact owns a 2012 Mazda Cx9. The contact stated that the vehicle had previously been involved in a crash due to a fractured passenger's side lower control arm.

In 2017 had my front control arms replaced after the driver side cv arm came off of the axle due to a recall. 5 years later (about 30k miles) the same exact situation happened now with the passenger side making a left turn. Thankfully both times I didn’t cause an accident but came close due to the wheel coming off of the axle. Brought to dealership, they had to get approval from corporate for the repair. Got a call 6 days later saying corporate denied the goodwill repair due to being “normal wear and tear” and they told me to call corporate. Just called corporate and they say that the dealership makes that decision. I shouldn’t have to pay for something that was recalled, repaired, and happened again 100% in the same fashion. Normal wear and tear on a cv arm is not 20-30k miles.

I purchased this vehicle with 19k miles on July 31, 2020. I noticed on April 12, 2022, that there was a knocking noise coming from the left front suspension after leaving a Mazda dealership for an oil change. I called Mazda service and was told they only did an oil change. I have put 4 brand new tires and have replaced the front/back brakes, rotors and still hear noise going over uneven pavement. I brought it to my own mechanic twice and he hears the noise but informed me that he cannot order any suspension parts at all for Mazda Cx9. He said Mazda are forcing Mazda customers to go to a Mazda dealership. He called 5 different places to purchase strut. Suspension and was told they had none. He also said Mazda has a special wrench to work with having to do with suspension and he cannot get one. My mechanic had my vehicle for 3 days and said it's definitely a suspension issue. My Mazda only has 35k miles. In 2 years, I have only driven 16k (8k) per year. There is no way a suspension should go after only 35k miles. I am not off roading or abusing the vehicle. Can't nhsta assist with this issue? this is very serious. I am afraid to drive this Mazda now.

Knock or hard shift in park as well as in reverse keeps burning oil had everything flushed replaced all fluids valve cover gaskets spark plugs etc.

Lost control brakes failing and steering and wheel lc about to fall off dealerships saying recall was completed but it's definitely not.

The front end especially on the drivers side front suspension. The noise seems to be coming from the control arms and ball joints area. I have reported this to the dealership many times since purchasing the vehicle new. They continue to say that there is no issue but the noise is not going away. I believe it is associated with this TSB but no recall has been made. I am very concerned as the steering feels looser than usual and may cause an accident. TSB 10170655 - description some vehicles may exhibit one or more of the following noises from the front suspension: 1. A creaking noise from under the front of the vehicle (front lower arm bushing) when driving over bumps at approximate 12 - 25 mph (20 - 40 km/h). The noise occurs when the road surface is wet or after the vehicle has been washed. The noise becomes more noticeable as the bumps get higher. The creaking noise is caused by the front lower arm bushing (a) making a stick-slip noise during wet road conditions. 2. A clunking noise from the front coil spring when driving over bumps. The clunking noise is due to stick- slip between the front strut bearing (b) and the coil spring (c). 3. A popping noise from the bump stopper (d) when driving through gutters.

I bought a used 2017 Mazda cx-9 from west shore Honda in tampa in July of 2020. They screwed me financially and I'll handle that separately. There has been an ongoing issue since the first few days after buying the car. I've complained multiple times via email and phone. I've been trying the service department countless times. They keep stating it's a tire issue. To the point they have replaced the tires 3 times. After the second time I had already decided it's not tires. The car has a very rough ride when I'm motion. Once you got 80 it wobbles. After several weeks the wobble can be felt at lower speeds of 55/60. The check engine light comes on but I'm told there's no codes when they diagnostic the reading. I've expressed that when I pull into my garage within 30 seconds to a minute there's a loud pop it's when the car is not in motion when it's been parked and turned off is when I noticed it. I brought it to my personal mechanic just to look at and drive and he's pretty certain it's a powertrain bearing or something of those sorts. Brought it back to westshore and they put another set of tires on it. This is been going on now for 9 months and after doing research online and some of the NHTSA ids this is a problem and I do not feel safe. And it needs to be handled the amount of complaints in times that I visited that dealership to fix this problem and all they do is put new tires on it is asinine. I have tons of documentation the same documentation that's at the dealership I do everything via email for that reason.

When I brought the car within 30 days the axle broke they fixed it but I haven't had the car for 4 months and now the transfer case is cracked they want me to pay 800 dollars to fix it but I did nothing wrong he hasn't fixed my key after he said he will he stated after the axle was fixed that he needed to add transmission fluid which he did not ever add and now my transfer case is broke I was driving and heard a large boom I thought the axle broke again and the 4wd light came on so I was able to drive it back and now they telling me it's my fault that it happened I didn't do anything but drive the car I brought the car September 5th 2019 I had to take the car back because the seat wouldn't work the axle broke now the other issue.

My complaint is Mazda rejected my reimbursement claim based on their "policy" of having only a Mazda dealer perform the repairs. I do not accept the rejection. We tried to schedule with Mazda. No chance. They are too booked. My wife is a school teacher. We must have the vehicle. A long story short, attached are (3) items: the recall notice from Mazda, the receipt from my excellent mechanic and the Mazda rejection letter. My goal here is to alert you that Mazda is being unrealistic. My mechanic is award winning (I watched him remove an engine from a Porsche 911. His a master. Also, we have four old cars. Mazda is just stupid. Maybe you can use this as a case study to train new employees. I still want my money. Sincerely kevin m. Reeves 937-726-2134.

We bought our car on a dealer in mesa, it was stationary. After we bought it we noticed locks moving on their own windows rolling down so did the moon roof.

We had problems with the tires they keep loosing up making the car vibrate and making sounds like banging on the tires.
