What owners wrote
2011 mazda cx-9. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle fire caused by transmission/transfer case failure. *smd the consumer stated the bottom of the vehicle caught on fire, it was put out before any excessive damage was done. The consumer stated prior to the fire, the vehicle started vibrating and when she attempted to drive, it would not move.
I just bought an 2011 cx-9 mazda few weeks ago. When I was parking I noticed that every time I put the car in drive it make a sound very hard, and sometimes when putting it in reverse. It may be some problems with the transfer case. In addition, when the car is running on 2nd another weird sound. I am taking the car to the near dealer if the problem continue.
