A TRUCK SWERVED INTO MY LANE AND I TRIED TO BRAKE. THE PEDAL DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY DEPRESS SO I HAD TO SERVE. JUMPED A CURB AND HIT A SIGN. MORE THAN $11,000 OF DAMAGE. THE BRAKE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS QUICKLY.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2013 Mazda CX-9 verdict →
