A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
While stopped in traffic I was hit from behind by a car at minimum going 40MPH while propelled my car into the vehicle in front of me. The entire front and back ends of my car are smashed in/hanging on and my air bags did not deploy. Autobody shop indicated the air bags should have gone off with that much damage.
I have a problem with getting in my car and finding spiders and spider webs. I have been bitten by them and so has my fianc. I got in the car yesterday and a web was coming from the air conditioning vent to the gear handle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 mazda cx-9. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the driver side mirror vibrated causing the contact's vision to become distorted through the mirror. As a result, the contact was unable to identify the objects. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the technician was unable to resolve the issue. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 5,000.
I purchased the car new on september 18,2015. Having the car for 3 months I have been at the service department 3 times. I got home the first day and the belt was not registering and was making noise when I had it on. The last 2 times I continue to hear noise coming from the car. The noise is heard from underneath and it has to be driven for significant amount of minutes before the noise goes away.
While driving my 2015 mazda cx-9 on a very busy interstate, the check engine light appeared on the driver panel. I was traveling with my very young children, ages 4 and 20 months. Approximately 10 miles later, I started hearing a rattling sound under the hood. Shortly thereafter, my car stalled out as I entered my subdivision. My husband had to push the car to our driveway. I called aaa that same day and had the car towed to the dealership that services the vehicle.
