Hi everyone!
My wife and I recently purchased a 2007 CX 9. I have been reading thru some issues on this site and agree with everyone about some of the items that are missing in the luxury line. I do have one problem that I haven't seen listed, and that is the low beam headlights. We live in a rural area, and it seems that when the lights are on low beam, they are almost useless when driving on rolling, twisting, quick up and down hills. There is also a very annoying, distinct "light / no light"area. By this, I mean that there is no fade out of light density, only this distinct line.
It is not a problem when driving in towns, but it is a big problem when out in the country when trying to watch for deer! High beams are fine.
I have adjusted the 3 position switch to raise or lower the lights but this isn't the answer. Is anyone else having problems?
Thanks
J.B

I just bought a CX-9 Sunday and I dont like:

Glass Backlight is affixed
No RDS info on the Radio
No Trip Computer (Trip Odo's dont count)
Smallish Glovebox/Lack of additional Storage bins (like Outlander)
Transmission is jerky when you apply gas after coasting
The Bottom of the Doors are easy to catch when getting out
Ignition Switch is on the Steering column and not the Dash

But everytime I look at that Stormy Blue Mica paint and grip that 3-spoke, leather-wrapped wheel, I allow those complaints to become mere quibbles in the rearview!

I just took my CX9 to the dealer for the recall notice on the front door straps. Since I was there I had them check my clock for the losing time issue and they had to order me a new one. Now the bad news I also had them look at the outside mirror on the drivers side because of the vibration and it making everything blurry. They drove it and told me there is nothing wrong the tech says he can see everything perfectly clear, of course many of you on here know better. I know there isn't a fix for this I just want them to admit there is a problem and to put me on a list so if they ever find a fix I will get it. So my dealer is now my biggest annoyance

you can alter the settings of the "advance keyless entry" system to automaticly lock the doors when the key card is out of range. Take it back to your dealer and have the shop forman address it, if he gives you the run a round, have him call Mazda Hot Line to walk him through it, be paitent, the hotline calls take forever and tend to piss techs off. (remember turning wrenches for a living is a demeaning and life robbing occupation, and while such minor details may seem major and important to the customer, they drive techs up the wall). The tech is going to loose money on figuring it out so agian be understanding and paitent.

I've spoken to our rep several times... and they've not come up with a fix yet. I've not driven the 08 to see if it's been "fixed" ... at some point I "think" it'll be addressed... If you've the entertainment system... there's been issues with the headsets breaking... they've updated the material to make it stronger... if you've issues with that... ask your dealer... if they're of no help... get back to me and I'll try to help as best I can.

There are only a few things I dislike about the 2007 CX-9.

1. When you step on the accelerator thereis a hesitation before the engine wakes up and hauls arse (FWD).
2. My $24,000 jetta wagon had a piston raised hood, what's up with the old school metal rod on the cx-9???
3. I cannot see how the gas cap fits on the fuel door while fueling. It just smacks on the side of the car.
4. No height adjustment on the GT passenger seat.
5. No heat settings on the seats. Arse searing or off???
6. Driver mirror oscillates big time.
7. No updates for NAV system, 2006 software.

As critical as I am, the vehicle is still outstanding.
