What 2007 Mazda CX9 owners say
Suspension
In 2016 I got a recall #8515g and that was performed by Mazda dealer on March 16 2016 (see doc attached) after the recall we have starting hearing a horrible noise, and mostly in winter, so I have took again to Mazda to inspect twice but they have hear that noise and have found anything. This past weekend they were more deeply on this inspection and what they found is the rf low control arm joint (ball joint) has play rf outer tie rod end has play too (see attached report from Mazda) the costs estimates to fix this problem is about $587 plus taxes.. What they say about the noise is probably comes from this issues which was supposed fixed by the recall but after 20000 miles this issues is coming again.. What they say this is not normal kind of this repairs could be longer than 10 years with not such a issues.. …
While driving the vehicle, making a right turn into a park, the drivers side wheel was dislodged from the vehicle. Upon inspection by the repair mechanic, were told that lower ball joint disconnected from the suspension, causing multiple damage to the suspension and drive train on the car. More than $1,775.00 dollars worth. On 7/30/15, we took the car to the tire center for 4 new tires, we were told that the alignment could not be completed because of loose tie rod and lower ball joint on passenger side of the vehicle. This concerns me for the safety of my family. My wife was driving the first time with 3 kids in the car, and needless today is more concerned now, based on today's required repair.
