While driving the vehicle the brakes became hard to depress and a hissing came from my steering column, the car would not stop or respond to stop. I had to downshift to Neutral to get the speed slow enough to stop - and had passed through an intersection while in failure. I had also had symptoms I did not know at the time may be related which was at a stop at dunkins or a drive through at a stopped position - where the car would run rough the last few weeks. I thought the rough idle was gas related. I can no longer drive the vehicle and am told this is brake booster/pump issue / that other of the same parts in fords and other manufacturers are now extending customer sat programs like 13N02 because of faulty parts in the brake booster. the vehicle can be towed or seen for this problem. The vehicle has no existing coverage of the faulty brake booster. This is a car insured for my son [XXX][ to drive and It is a safety risk that this went while driving, i'm happy it was myself driving that day. Problem has been confirmed as a brake booster pump/booster failure by a service professional. No warning lights - just not able to stop the car when stepping on the brake.

Once you get to 70mph it starts shaking like if a the wheels will fall off.

It acting like it doesn’t want to hold air. I have to air up my wheels every morning. It’s only the back wheels.

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.

The contact owns a 2008 Mazda CX-9. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, he noticed that the brakes felt loose and the braking distance had become extended while attempting to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that he heard a hissing sound while depressing the brake pedal. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the brakes failed completely while attempting to stop for a traffic signal and the vehicle rolled into the intersection. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the brake booster was malfunctionin,g and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

To whom it concern. Leaking water in my passenger seat, at the beginning we though that was the blower motor, we change it, but then got wet again and it went bad again, but I found out that was a malfunction factory the problem with the air conditioning compressor. I took my car to 3 different shops, where the first two, drained my A/C I give up because I was paying money for nothing. I took the car to Mazda dealer, They told me that my car have a malfunction Factory and was about the a/c system. I talk to Mazda and ask them to replace it, because this was a factory problem. They refuse to do it. I found a recall for Mazda cx5 with the same problem but not my car that is Mazda cx9. Thank you [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

KNOWN ISSUE OF TRANSFER CASE MECHANICAL FAILURE IN ALL CX-9 MODELS FROM 2007-2015. TRANSFER CASE IS TOO CLOSE TO EXHAUST CAUSING THE OIL TO DRY UP. TRANSFER CASE EXPLODES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS CAUSE MANY ACCIDENTS.

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST THE PRESSURE ON MY BRAKE AND MY CAR WONT STOP. I HAD TO DEPRESSED THE BRAKE SO HARD. THEN I STARTED HEARING A HISSING NOISE WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKE.

I NOTICED IN THE LAST ALMOST YEAR A STRANGE VIBRATION IN THE SUV WHEN I TURN, AS TIME WENT ON IT GOT LOUDER. I HAD COUPLE OTHER PARTS REPLACED THROUGHOUT THIS TIME THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE. I THAN FIND OUT RECENTLY IT WAS THE READ REPELLER SHAFT AND ANOTHER PART WHICH CONNECTS TO THE ENGINE ALSO PART OF THE DRIVE SHAFT. NOISE OCCURS WITH DRIVING I NOTICED AFTER SEARCHING IT IS COMMON WITH THIS SUV

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE A SEVERE SHUDDERING VIBRATION AND LOUD NOISE EMANATED FROM FRONT END OF VEHICLE, AS IF FRONT AXEL WAS GOING TO FALL OFF. HAPPENED THREE TIMES SO FAR.

MECHANIC ESTIMATES REPAIR WILL RUN IN THE $1100-$1500 RANGE. WONDERING IF I HAVE ANY RECOURSE WITH REGARD TO THIS PROBLEM AND THE FACT THAT IT SEEMS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT RATHER THEN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

MAZDA CX-9 PROBLEM 130,000 MILES-ON NOVEMBER 25TH, AS I WAS DROPPING MY CHILDREN TO THEIR SCHOOLS, THE DEFROST SUDDENLY STOPS WORKING. I TRY TO TURN THE FAN/HEATER ALL THE WAY, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HAD TO USE A TOWEL TO WIPE THE WINDSHIELD. AS I PULLED INTO A CURVED SIDE, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF, I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO OFF, THEN STARTS THE ENGINE AGAIN, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I PULLED OUT AND DROVE ABOUT SIX HUNDRED FEET AND PARKED. I CALL A MECHANIC AND I DROVE IT AGAIN FOR A MILE TO THE SHOP. HE OPENS UP THE HOOD AND POUR IN SOME COOLANT AND ALL THE COOLANT WERE ON THE FLOOR. HE IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT COOLANT LEAKS AND OIL IS PROBABLY MIXED AND CAUSES THE ENGINE FAILURE. HE TOLD ME I HAD TO CHANGE THE ENGINE, BECAUSE FIXING IT WILL COST ME OVER TEN GRAND. I DROVE IT HOME, THEN THE FOLLOWING MORNING, I TOOK TO A DIFFERENT SHOP, THEY DID THE DIAGNOSIS AND RELATE THE SAME STORY THAT CHECK CODES SHOWED THREE CODES: P0016, CRANK POSITION SENSOR CORRELATION BANK ONE SENSOR A. 1285 CYLINDER HEAD OVER TEMPERATURE, 1299 CYLINDER HEAD TEMP PROTECTION. THE CODES INDICATE AN OVERHEAT SCENARIO THAT RESULTED IN ENGINE SHUT DOWN. THEY CHECK OIL AND FOUND MILKY SUBSTANCE INSTEAD OF OIL. PRESSURE CHECK FOR COOLANT LEAK PUSHED MILKY OIL OUT OF DIPSTICK TUBE. HEAD GASKET HAS FAILED DUE TO OVERHEATING AND THE COOLANT HAS CONTAMINATED THE ENGINE OIL. THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, ASSEMBLY AND FLUSH COOLING SYSTEM. THEIR TOTAL ESTIMATE IS $10,900. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PA

WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES MAYBE 10-15 AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS HAD TIME TO WARM UP, AS I AM APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL AND IT IS SHIFTING INTO GEARS (USUALLY INTO GEARS 3,4, & 5) THE VEHICLE IS SHOWING THAT IT IS INTO THE NEXT GEAR BUT YOU FEEL IT SHIFT AFTER THE FACT SO IT IS DELAYED AND AS ACCELERATING IT FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS LAGGING AND TRYING TO SHIFT BUT CAN'T FULLY RIGHT AWAY. I AM ONLY SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I KNOW A COUPLE OTHERS WITH THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE BUT DIFFERENT YEARS AND THEY STATED THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLE AS WELL

ONE DAY, MY KEYLESS DON STOPPED WORKING. THE NEXT DAY THE DOOR KEPT LOCKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ALMOST EVERY TIME I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. THEN THE DRIVERS DOOR WOULDN'T UNLOCK, WHEN I MANUALLY UNLOCKED THE DOOR IT WAS HARD TO DO. I LUCKILY HAD THE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN, GOT OUT THE VEHICLE AND AS SOON AS I SHUT THE DOOR I HEAR THE DOOR LOCK AND MY TWO YEAR OLD WAS IN THE BACKSEAT! AGAIN LUCKILY I HAD THE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN OTHERWISE SHE MIGHT'VE BEEN STUCK! THEN THE ALARM KEPT GOING OFF AND WOULDN'T TURN OFF UNTIL I UNHOOKED THE BATTERY. IMAGINE MY FRUSTRATION. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WAS THE DOOR LATCH/ACTUATOR. UPON PAYING HEFTILY WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR, THE CLICKING OF THE DOOR LOCKS HAD STOPPED BUT THE UNLOCK BUTTON STILL WOULDN'T WORK AND THE ALARM WAS ONCE AGAIN GOING OFF! NOW THE CAR IS STILL AT THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND HAD ITS BCM/BCU REPLACED FOR A SUPPOSED 'FIX', I'M SUPPOSE TO PICK IT UP TOMORROW. SO I GUESS WE'LL SEE. THE APPARENT PROBLEM FROM ALL OF THIS? MY CX9 HAS A SUNROOF, WHICH MAZDA KNOWS THESE VEHICLES DON'T DRAIN PROPERLY WHICH CAUSES WATER TO GO TO THE BCM SHORTING IT OUT! THIS IS INEXCUSABLE AND COULD VERY WELL COST SOMEONE'S CHILD THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF THE DOORS CONSTANT LOCKING AND UNABLE TO UNLOCK SOMETIMES MANUALLY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN IT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND MAZDA COMPANY HAS EVEN ADMITTED THIS FAULT! SO WHY IS THERE NO RECALL?!

CAR MAKE WEIRD VIBRATION NOISE IN THE BACK END . WENT TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND IT'S A TRANSFER CASE AND DRIVESHAFT ISSUE. . LOOKS THE PROBLEM IS IN DESIGN. MAZDA RECALLED THE TRANSFER CASE FROM 2010 MODEL AND LATER BUT NOT BEFORE. SINCE THE SAME PART IS USED IN EARLIER MODELS REQUESTING RECALL ON EARLIER MODELS TOO. I WENT TO 4 DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND EVERYONE TOLD ME THAT EACH AND EVERY MAZDA CX-9 COMES TO THEM HAS SAME ISSUE. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS AFTER 2010. THEY HAVE SAME PARTS AND I OR OTHER OWNERS CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR AND IT'S A MANUFACTURING FAULT. LOOKING FORWARD TO GET HELP FROM NHTSA

O WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKES BECAME SPONGY AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE UNLESS I INCREASED THE EFFORT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN. FOOT HAS SLIPPED ON OCCASION CAUSING MY ANKLE TO BE STRUCK ON THE PEDAL. I NOW DOWN SHIFT GEARS TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO ASSIST IN STOPPING WHILE KEEPING EVEN FURTHER BACK FROM VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. CURRENTLY, NO RECALLS ARE OUT SPECIFICALLY FOR MY VIN BUT THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT RECALLS OUT FOR BAD MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER. BOTH OF WHICH HAVE FAILED IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE GAITHERSBURG MD MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY INSIST THE VEHICLE IS NOT RECALLED AND ARE SUGGESTING I PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A KNOWN RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPROPRIATED. THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL - I'M ADVISED THAT AIR BAGS HAD TO CHANGE BECAUSE ARE DEFECTS, ALL.

TIRE SENSOR FAILURE HAS TWICE NOW CAUSED BLOW OUT OF TIRES WHILE DRIVING, LUCKILY NO INJURY SINCE GOING AT LOW SPEED IN NEIGHBORHOOD. ALSO KEEP HAVING ISSUES WITH LOOSING TIRE PRESSURE. NOW I SEE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE MODEL AND YEAR

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. WHEN WE TURN OFF THE ENGINE THE A/C TURNS ON EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THE CAR LOCKS ITSELF LEAVING US OUTSIDE. WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES THEY KEEP LOOSING UP MAKING THE CAR VIBRATE AND MAKING SOUNDS LIKE BANGING ON THE TIRES

THE AIRBAGS WARNING LIGHT JUST CAME ON A COUPLE DAYS FOR MY CAR AND I TOOK IT THE MAZDA DEALER TO DIAGNOSE AND THEY SAID THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND THE SAS MODULE NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT WARRANTY SAFETY IS ONLY UP TO 60000 MILES.

DUE TO THE UNETHICAL STANDING OF MAZDA FAILING TO ISSUE A RECALL, MYSELF AND FAMILY WERE PUT IN GREAT DANGER WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE BRAKE FAILURE. HAD WE BEEN AWARE OF THE FACT THAT MAZDA KNOWINGLY DISCOVERED THE MANUFACTURER DEFECT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN PROACTIVE IN ADDRESSING THE ISSUE PRIOR TO HAVING AN ALMOST TOTAL LIFE LOSS AND VEHICLE DAMAGE.

FINALLY, SOMETHING HAPPENED & WAS ABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR/LIFTGATE BY HAND. I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPUTABLE MACHANIC. THEY FOUND "MAZDA" HAD A "TSB" OUT ABOUT THE LIFTGATE LOCK ASSEMBLY AND IF THE LOCK FAILS, REPLACE THE ENTIRE PART. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MAZDA DEALER. THE COST TO SPECIAL ORDER THE PART AND REPAIR WOULD COST APPROX. $1200. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE LOCK. I I AM A HADICAPPED PERSON.

LETTER TO MAZDA OF AMERICA ENGINEERING 10/2/2018 SUBJECT: SHARED DESIGN FLAW OF 2008 CX-9 AND 2008 FORD EDGE STAMPED STEEL FUEL TANK (FORD HAS RECALLED THIS TANK) MAZDA ENGINEERING, I HAVE LOOKED AT TWO DESIGNS TO SECURE TANKS. 1) TANK IS BOLTED AND ONE WHERE THE TANK IS BOLTED DIRECTLY TO A FRAME THROUGH THE SEALING FLANGE. (CURRENT CASE WITH CX-9 AND FORD EDGE -2008) 2) TANK IS SECURED USING TRADITIONAL TANK STRAPS THE FORD EDGE TANK (THE SAME AS CX-9) WAS RECALLED IN CASE 1 BECAUSE THE BOLTED FLANGE IS PART OF THE TANK. AFTER REPEATED FLEXING OF FRAME AND TANK WITH THE ADDITION OF CORROSION IN NORTHERN STATES, THE FIXED FLANGE RUPTURES THE THANK CAUSING SUDDEN FUEL LOSS ON A TANK THAT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CORRODED. THIS IS OF COURSE A LARGE LIABILITY AS BRITTLE FATIGUE FRACTURE IS BY NATURE SUDDEN. THERE IS NO WARNING FOR THE CUSTOMER. THEY PULL INTO THEIR GARAGE AT HOME OR WORK AND ARE A SUDDEN HAZARD. IN CASE 2, A TRADITION METHOD OF SECURING A TANK, THE LOAD IS DISTRIBUTED ON A STRAP. SHOULD THE STRAP FRACTURE THERE IS NO SUDDEN FUEL LOSS. THE STRAP CAN BE REPLACED. THE TANK STAYS SEALED. THIS DESIGN FLAW HAS RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ENOUGH ISSUE THAT FORD HAS RECALLED OVER 200,000 VEHICLES IDENTICAL TO THE CX-9 TO ADDRESS THIS EXACT ISSUE. FORD AND MAZDA SHARE NOT ONLY THE SAME DESIGN, BUT THE SAME TANK MANUFACTURER AND CHASSIS. THE MAZDA ISSUE IS MORE SERIOUS AS COATED TANKS DO NOT SHOW ANY WARNING SIGNS OF CORROSION.
