NHTSA Complaint #11104555 — 2012 MAZDA CX-9

AT JUST OVER 90,000 MILES I HAD TRANSFER CASE PROBLEM THAT EVERYONE IS POSTING. AS DESCRIBED BY MECHANIC IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. TRANSFER CASE IS PLACED JUST ABOVE CATALYTIC CONVERTER (WHICH THROWS OFF ALOT OF HEAT) AS A RESULT OIL IN TRANSFER CASE COOKS OVER TIME AND GEARS ARE DESTROYED. MAZDA DID NOT PROVIDE A WAY TO REPLACE AND OR CHECK THIS FLUID WITHOUT TAKING DOWN THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. MECHANIC SAID I WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN AT ROUGHLY ANOTHER 80-100,000 MILES. YEAR AND A HALF LATER I NOTICED A VERY SOFT BRAKE. I REPLACED BRAKE PADS AND DRUMS, AND BRAKE FLUID. I HAVE A VERY HARD BRAKE WHICH THEN SPORATICALLY GOES SOFT. AGAIN I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE AND FOUND AGAIN MAZDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND EXTENTED WARRANTY TO 90,000 MILES. AGAIN I'M JUST OVER THE WARRANTY ALLOWANCE AND NOW MY BRAKE POWER BOOSTER AND POSSIBLY MASTER CYLINDER NEED TO BE REPLACED. BOTH ARE KNOWN ISSUES BY MAZDA. UNFORTUNATELY I WAS THE LUCKY ONE WHO WAS THE BENEFICIARY OF BOTH PROBLEMS JUST OVER THE 90,000 MILE WARRANTY. I REACHED OUT TO MAZDA TO REQUEST SOME ASSISTANCE WITH AT LEAST THE COST OF THE PARTS ON THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER. I WAS GIVEN A QUICK NO BY MAZDA. VERY FRUSTRATING SINCE THESE ARE BOTH KNOWN PROBLEMS AND THEY WILL NOT AT LEAST WORK WITH ME ON THE PARTS COST.
