What 221 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Mazda Cx-90 Mhev

THE MAZDA CX 9 CUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT ALSO HAS CUT OFF AT LOW SPEED TURNS. IT RESTART SOME TIMES. SOMETIME IT WILL NOT FOR A FEW MINUTES. BEEN LEFT IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF US 27 SOUTH OF SEBRING FLORIDA AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT STALLED. THE RPM FLUXUATES AT TIMES AND THE VEHICLE SURGES. DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IN THE CENTER LANE AND IT JUST CUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING. NO ENGINE CHECK LIGHT OR WARNING PRIOR TO CUTTING OFF.

BRAKES DO NOT STOP VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY, IT IS HARD TO APPLY BRAKES.

NHTSA ODI 11047341

THE MAZDA CX9 THAT WE PURCHASED HAS A ACCELERATION PROBLEM WHEN WE GO TO STOP.. MAZDA HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY.. WE HAVE HAD 2 BRAKE BOOSTERS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. WE FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND MAZDA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM. THEY TELL US NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. IT KNOW ALSO HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH SQUEAKING AND GRINDING NOISES COMING FROM THE CAR. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED.

POWER BOOSTER MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE. FIRST, SPONGY PEDAL ATTRIBUTED TO MASTER CYLINDER WITH NO FLUID PRESENT. AFTER REFILLING HYDRAULIC FLUID, PEDAL WAS BETTER FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN LOUD NOISE COMING FROM CABIN IN VEHICLE WHEN PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. (IT GOES TO THE FLOOR AND BECOMES VERY LOUD.) SOUNDS LIKE AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM TO EARLIER MODEL YEAR.

NHTSA ODI 11040910

BRAKE BOOSTER, HISSING NOISE AND HARD BRAKE. NO WARNING, BRAKES DON'T STOP WELL. BRAKE BOOSTER CONTINUES LOSING VACUUM PRESSURE AS LONG AS THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. I HAVE NOTICED ONLINE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND A KNOWN PROBLEM.

NHTSA ODI 11032614

MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) COMES ON WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF EVAPORATING SYSTEM / LOOSE GAS CAP. MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTICS FEES, A GAS TANK PRESSURE TEST AND 3 GAS CAPS LATER AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I NOTICED A FEW ONLINE FORUMS WITH SEVERAL OTHERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE ACROSS A WIDE RAGE OF YEARS AND MAZDA MODELS. THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH MAZADA EVAPORATING, FUEL AND EMISSIONS SYSTEMS. THE DEALER CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. BEYOND REPLACING THE GAS CAP AND COLLECTING A DIAGNOSTIC FEE.

HISSING SOUND WHEN BRAKING IN MOTION OR PARKED. WHEN DRIVING UP TO AN INTERSECTION AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY ABOUT 20 MPH CAR WOULD NOT STOP NO MATTER HOW HARD I STEPPED ON THE PEDDLE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SLOW BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT CAR LUNGED FORWARD WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY DAUGHTER AT SCHOOL. IT LUNGED UP AND NEARLY HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME! SCARIEST THING IN THE WORLD TO NOT BE ABLE TO BRAKE!!

TAKATA RECALL - I'VE RECEIVED 3 RECALL NOTICES, BUT MAZDA SAYS PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A LIFE-THREATENING RECALL ISSUE.

NHTSA ODI 11023577

WHEN BRAKING THE BRAKES ARE EITHER HARD AND DO NOT WORK OR BRAKES ARE SPONGY, WILL SLOW VEHICLE, BUT WILL NOT GIVE YOU CONFIDENCE THAT THEY WILL STOP THE VEHICLE LIKE THEY SHOULD. WHEN BRAKING AT TIMES YOU CAN HEAR A HISSING, MAYBE ALL THE TIME, BUT WHEN THINGS ARE HAPPENING YOU AREN'T LISTENING FOR A HISSING SOUND. ALSO, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN PARK IF YOU REALLY PUT YOU FOOT TO THE FLOOR A BEEPING ALMOST LIKE AN ALARM SOUND IS MADE. THIS BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE SHOULD BE A MAJOR CONCERN. 8-13-2017 I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 65 MPH IN LITE TRAFFIC ON A DOWNGRADE AND SLIGHT CORNER WHEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME LOST A TIRE AND I NEEDED TO BRAKE QUICKLY AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULDN'T MOVE, IT WAS HARD AS A ROCK, NEVER SLOWED THE VEHICLE AT ALL. THANK GOODNESS I HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO MANEUVER, OTHERWISE WHO KNOWS WHAT THE RESULT OF THAT ACCIDENT MAY HAVE BEEN. ANOTHER TIME WAS 8-30-2017 I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE, APPROX 20 MPH, AND WAS APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION OF OUR SUBDIVISION AND THE HWY WHERE THE TRAFFIC TRAVELS AT 55 MPH, I WENT TO BRAKE AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR.... AGAIN NO BRAKES. MY VEHICLE ROLLED TO A COMPLETE STOP, BUT NOT BEFORE I CROSSED INTO THE SECOND LANE OF CROSS TRAFFIC. AGAIN THANK GOODNESS IT WAS AROUND 6:30 AM AND TRAFFIC WAS FAIRLY LITE. MIND YOU THIS IS ONLY TWO OF THE MORE EXTREME TIMES. I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW BRAKE BOOSTER AND IT WILL BE INSTALLED THIS WEEKEND. I DID TRY TO CONTACT MAZDA, BUT AFTER SITTING ON HOLD, 1-800-222-5500, FOR OVER 18 MINUTES THE PHONE FINALLY RINGS.....UNTIL IT DISCONNECTS.
