MY BRAKES STARTED FEELING SPONGY BUT HARD TO PUSH WHEN I WOULD TRY TO COME TO A STOP. IT FELT AT TIMES LIKE MY CAR WASN'T GOING TO STOP. I STOPPED DRIVING IT AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED. AT THAT TIME, I LOST BRAKES COMPLETELY. THE BRAKE PEDDLE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN PRESSED. HOPEFULLY THE BOOSTER IS A BAD ONE.

I WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO HIGH SCHOOL IN THE MORNING WITH MY SON IN THE CAR AS WELL. IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL, I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. MY FOOT WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN THEY FINALLY CAUGHT BUT I WAS OUT IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND LUCKILY NO ONE HIT ME AND INJURED MY SON OR MYSELF. AFTER REPLACING THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS THAT DID NOT FIX THE SITUATION, I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MAZDA CX-9 THAT WAS EVEN INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA WITHOUT HAVING A RECALL. HOW DOES SOMETHING SO CRITICAL IN THE SAFETY OF LIVES DOES NOT GENERATE A RECALL THAT THE NHTSA HAS SEEN REPEATED COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITHOUT ADVISING OR CARING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMERS AND OTHER DRIVERS. IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT MAZDA HAS NOT ADDRESSED OR CORRECTED.

OIL AND COOLANT MIXED TOGETHER AND CAUSE ENGINE TO DIE WITH A SERVICE CODE OF P0016 WHICH MEANS PER THE DEALER THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAD IT SERVICE BY MAZDA DEALERSHIP CONSISTENTLY. THIS IS COMMON ISSUE AND MAZDA MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE COVER THIS ISSUE FOR CUSTOMERS.

TAKATA RECALL VIN: [XXX] I HAVE REPEATEDLY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (SUBURBAN AUTO COLLECTION OF TROY - MICHIGAN) SUBURBAN MAZDA OF TROY FOR THE PAST 1-2 YEARS ASKING THEM TO CHECK AND SEE IF OUR VEHICLE IS ON THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL LIST AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED EVERYTIME THAT IT WAS NOT. I CHECKED THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND CONFIRMED THAT THEIR IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON THE AIRBAG FOR OUR CX-9. WE WERE NOT CALLED OR INFORMED (AS THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO). WE DID NOT RECEIVE THE PROPER NOTIFICATION FROM TAKATA OR THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP. OUR VEHICLE WAS EITHER APART OF THE RECALL FROM THE START OR IT WAS ADDED LATER WHEN THE RECALL WAS EXPANDED, HOWEVER WE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING TELLING US TO HAVE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MAZDA CX9 BREAK BOOSTER DIAPHRAGM LEAKAGE. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2009 MAZDA CX9 THAT ALMOST GOT ME KILLED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE THE CAR AHEAD OF ME ABRUPTLY SLOWED DOWN. I PRESSED MY BREAKS TO SLOW DOWN AND IT FELT AS HARD AS A ROCK PROMPTING ME TO MAKE SHARP MANEUVER INTO THE OTHER LANE, THANKFULLY NO OTHER CARS WERE COMING ON THAT LANE. UPON MAKING HOME I WENT ON THE COMPUTER AND RESEARCH THE ISSUE. I FOUND OUT THAT THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECTS WITH THE BREAK BOOSTERS IN THE CX9 AND MAZDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD TO PAY $680 TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED BECAUSE I MISSED THE 2015 DEADLINE SET BY MAZDA TO HAVE THE BREAK BOOSTER FIXED. I WAS SO UPSET, I CALLED MAZDA USA WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THE ISSUE. TO ROB SALT IN THE WOUND THE LADY I SPOKE TO ON THE PHONE ADVISED MY TO MAKE SURE THAT I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP FOR THE OPEN RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS ISSUE. (WHICH I INTERPRETED AS "IF YOUR BREAKS FAIL AND YOU DIE, THE AIRBAG WILL PROTECT FACE SHOULD IN CASE YOUR FAMILY WANTS TO DO AN OPEN CASKET AT YOUR FUNERAL"). I BELIEVE IT IS UNFAIR FOR MAZDA TO AVOID FIXING A KNOWN DEFECTS IN THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY SYSTEM IN A CAR ( THE BREAKS) BY PASSING IT OFF AS A WARRANTY PROGRAM. I AM GLAD TO BE ALIVE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. PLEASE THINK ABOUT PEOPLES SAFETY AND NOT THE INTEREST OF THE MANUFACTURERS AND DO THE RIGHT THING.
