Consumer Description

I droved my 2016 cx-9 off highway and idled it at front of restaurant, suddenly the engine coolant overheat light came on, shut engine off and found leaking coolant on the ground near the rear of engine bay. Brought the car to Corpus Christi Mazda, found out leaks come from cylinder head crack, happens to cx-9 manufactured before June 20, 2020 according to Mazda TSB 01-013/21. I was quoted $3380 to replace the cylinder head out of pocket because the car is just out of powertrain warranty. I contacted Mazda headquarter for covering the cost out of goodwill since this is due to manufacture defects of cylinder head. Mazda refused to pay.
