Coolant was leaking into my engine where the oil goes and I was unaware. The vehicle stalled in me while driving because of this. Even after figuring out what the issue was and trying to have it fix it became inoperable.

MESSAGE BOARD TRAFFIC SHOWS THIS AS A PROBLEM ACROSS MULTIPLE YEAR MODELS AND MAKES IN THE MAZDA CX LINE, ESPECIALLY THE CX-9. EVERYONE, INCLUDING MYSELF, REPORTS THE SAME ISSUE: LIGHT COMES ON, AND THEN REPLACE GAS CAP. LIGHT COMES BACK ON AND THEN IT IS MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO FIND WHERE THE EVAP LEAK IS.

I TOOK THE CAR TO PEP BOYS AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL BECAUSE MY WHOLE GAS TANK IS BAD AND IT SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON IT .AND ALSO FORD SAID THE SAME....SO MY TRUCK HAVE A MAJOR GAS LEAK AND A RUSTED OUT GAS SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA CX-9. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, A SNAP NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO DRIVE INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED AND REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V451000 (SUSPENSION) APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE SAME DEALER (OAK LAWN MAZDA, 708-233-7700, LOCATED AT 6750 W 95TH ST, OAK LAWN, IL 60453) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED; THEREFORE, THE FAILURE WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE RECALL AGAIN. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT NO ONE ANSWERED THE PHONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A BUSY INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND LOSING POWER. THEY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND I COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER DRIVERS. I WAS ALMOST HIT MORE THAN ONCE BY OTHER CARS. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED AND A LICENSED MECHANIC LOOK AT IT, I WAS TOLD THE WATER PUMP FAILED AND LEAKED WATER AND COOLANT INTO MY ENGINE WHICH COMPLETELY DISABLED MY ENGINE.

ALL OF THE HINDGES ON THE DOORS MAKES A POPPING SOUND WHEN YOU OPEN EACH DOOR TO ENTER THE VEHICLE I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO FALL OFF WHAT I MEAN IS THE DOORS THE SOUND IS VERY ANNOYING AND EMBARRASSING PLEASE HELP .

RECALL: BALL JOINT CORROSION FROM WATER LEAKING INTO THE FITTING. IT WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO FOR FREE DUE TO THE RECALL. NOW, THE BALL JOINTS HAVE AGAIN CORRODED, BUT DEALER CLAIMING THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL.

THE PTU TRANSFER CASE IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND WILL COST ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE CAR IS WORTH. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO THE DESIGN THAT MAZDA HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND RECALL FOR MANY YEARS NOW. COMMON PROBLEMS ARE EXPLOSION OF THE UNIT AND TOXIC FUMES AND LOCKING UP OF THE POWER TRAIN. PLEASE DO YOUR JOB AND TAKE ACTION.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON CONTROL ARMS I HAVE HAD THE REPAIRS DONE 3 TIMES I BELIEVE THESE ARE CAUSING OTHER DAMAGES TO THE CAR! THAT CANNOT STAY REPAIRED THE SAME THINGS CONTINUE TO BREAK ON THIS OVER AND OVER!! I WANT TO GET RID OF THIS CAR. I OWE WAY MORE THAN IT'S VALUE. HOWEVER I CAN'T TRADE IT IN BECAUSE OF THESE RECALLS AND IT BEING UNFIXABLE

IN 2016 I GOT A RECALL #8515G AND THAT WAS PERFORMED BY MAZDA DEALER ON MARCH 16 2016 (SEE DOC ATTACHED) AFTER THE RECALL WE HAVE STARTING HEARING A HORRIBLE NOISE, AND MOSTLY IN WINTER, SO I HAVE TOOK AGAIN TO MAZDA TO INSPECT TWICE BUT THEY HAVE HEAR THAT NOISE AND HAVE FOUND ANYTHING. THIS PAST WEEKEND THEY WERE MORE DEEPLY ON THIS INSPECTION AND WHAT THEY FOUND IS THE RF LOW CONTROL ARM JOINT (BALL JOINT) HAS PLAY RF OUTER TIE ROD END HAS PLAY TOO (SEE ATTACHED REPORT FROM MAZDA) THE COSTS ESTIMATES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT $587 PLUS TAXES.. WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE NOISE IS PROBABLY COMES FROM THIS ISSUES WHICH WAS SUPPOSED FIXED BY THE RECALL BUT AFTER 20000 MILES THIS ISSUES IS COMING AGAIN.. WHAT THEY SAY THIS IS NOT NORMAL KIND OF THIS REPAIRS COULD BE LONGER THAN 10 YEARS WITH NOT SUCH A ISSUES.. MY CONCERNS ARE THE SAFETY ON MY FAMILY, NOW MY WIFE AND MY GRANDKIDS ARE DRIVING THIS CAR EVERYDAY, AND I'M PUTTING THEM ON A UNSAFETY SITUATION BY THIS RECALL....
