My only forced maintenance was a failed A/C compressor on the Mazda 3. Other than that, just oil changes, brakes, and tires. Extremely reliable automobiles.

I got my 2010 CX-9 for $2,000. The water pump had blown up and the lady kept driving it till it stranded her on the freeway. $2,000 and a low mileage used engine later and it's on the road and doing well. By the way you can do the water pump without pulling out the engine. The best thing to remember on a CX-9 is to monitor the coolant reservoir and keep one eye on the temperature gauge when you drive. If you're coolant level is dropping and you don't see any obvious leaks it's probably your water pump. And at that time it's a good idea to put in new VVTs and timing chains.

@ScottDreyfus 3 года назад

The only service interval that's a little different is the transmission service. You need to change the fluid every 60k. It's a cheap service though as its just a drop and drain filter from the bottom. It's around 130 to 180$ at a service center. It changes about 1/3 of the system fluid out. The forums will tell you to do it a little more often like 30k and these cars will last for half a million miles. I just crossed 140 in my Mazda 6. I've had it for 11 yrs and it's never had a service issue.

On our second one... Current one is a 2012 w/136K (had it since new). Common problems: brake booster fails. PITA to fix. Power windows fail A LOT; the motor design is terrible. Alternators fail, require radiator removal to get to and the radiator will NOT survive being removed. Other than that, bulletproof.

Hey Scotty, I thank you SO much for answering my question, I asked if I should change the pump in my 2011 CX9 allwheel or not (seems like they made some parts in the car look nicer, when I compare it with this model here). Now I am happy that I just have to change the cooling fluid. And I also have to say, I am veeery satisfied with this car, we drive through the alps every year for abut 10 hours one side and when I jump out of the car at the destination, I do it with a smile on my lips, because this car is f* comfortable! No back ache nothing. Plus the engine has pretty good power, believe me, you don't want to drive behind a trailer from the Netherlands during the whole travel through the alps and babe, these times are gone. I really love this car and just got it by accident, it is usually not sold here in Switzerland, but I was looking for something different than those overpriced VW busses and we are fans of japanese cars (we have 3 kids and the 4th is coming soon) aaand we were lucky. And people, the BOSE sound in there is veeery well, not to compare it with the later BOSE in Mazda 3,6 CX3,5 etc. I don't have this blind side thing, and thank god also no other electronic problems, f* everything just works fine, that's amazing when I compare it to the expensive VW cars where you buy a sh*load of electronic problems.

@KoopaXross 3 года назад

Only brake pads and oil change, sounds like my 1989 RX-7. Dailied for 3 years even without more than this. Engine is smooth. Only issue electronically is the dashboard fog light icon will come on slightly and cut out the clock in the process. Sometimes works turning on the fog light switch then back off to get the clock back. Either way for a 31 year old car only having this as an electronic problem I'd say it did great.

@robertvsnow 3 года назад

Regarding the 2008 TSX your viewer had that was burning oil. I have a 2011 TSX Wagon and it burns about a quart of oil between oil changes. Acura sent me a letter extending the warranty because of this problem, but my consumption was not enough to trigger any repair or replacement on their part. The engine has low tension piston rings that are prone to sticking. They suggest using only Top Tier gas. I was using gas from the local Wawa but switched to brands with enough detergent to qualify as Top Tier. I also added Techron about half a dozen times over a two year period and oil consumption has decreased considerably.

@confidentlocal8600 3 года назад

I have a Mazda 3. It's a solid, well-built car that runs like a top. It has never burned oil. I change the oil at 10-12k mile intervals, basically once a year, and the oil analysis always comes back stellar. The manual transmission still shifts smooth. It's needed a couple water pumps and basic maintenance like plugs, oil changes, brakes, etc. Despite regular washes in the winter, including the undercarriage, the body has rotted through the wheel wells into the the sills and cannot be cost-effectively repaired. It was built with almost no corrosion resistance in key structural areas of the underbody. Never again!

The kid I sold it to drove it for another year at least.

@paulschott9366 3 года назад

I bought a 2007 Ford Edge which is basically the same car. It has the 3.5 265 HP with the same 6 speed. Ford was calling the coolant "lifetime" Well, lifetime means it's good till it dies. The water pump went at 95,000 miles and I was lucky I caught it before it damaged the engine. I have been changing the coolant every few year with Fords dark green coolant that they now recommend. The job was $1700. I now have 160,000 miles and this is the only non maintenance thing I have spent money on this car. Still rides and looks like new.

@dmsmhic 3 года назад

My CX9 has 90k miles. Says to change the water pump at 120k miles. Mine went out and spit metal shavings into the engine. The timing went out of sync just enough to make me aware of an issue, thank goodness, before the engine was totally trashed. The repair bill was $3,000. They had to pull the engine to replace the water pump, and had to replace the timing chain and a couple of other parts. Google it, I'm not the only one. People need to be aware. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you'd like more details about my particular situation. And yes, it is a smooth vehicle, very responsive, but I've had one airbag recall, a faulty headlight circuit, and a power window that had a bad motor. Only the recall was covered.

@graysonedwards6255 2 года назад

I own a 2006 Mazda 6 with 225k miles and ive had zero major issues. I just change the oil, transmission fluid, and tires. I can tell that the transmission is beginning to show some age, but it still works fine with a clean fluid and filter. Hoping to get 300k out of it while I keep the miles of my shiny Acura.

@MartyMcFlyV 3 года назад

I also have a 2008 Mazda except it's a Mazda 5 with a 2.3 4 cylinder. It had 83,000 Miles when I bought it now it has 180,000. The electric power steering went out-mazda fixed it free. Changed axel. That's about it. I've kept it maintained. I change oil every 10,000 miles with synthetic. I've taken the transmission oil pan off a couple times, put in a new filter and replaced the fluid that came out.....About 4 quarts. Still get 30mpg going to work if I really try!

@242HP 3 года назад

I must've chosen the wrong Mazda or bought one that wasn't well maintained, because my 2010 Mazda 3 with the 2.5L 4 cylinder is not very good. About a week after buying it used with 131K miles on it, the check engine light went on. It had a P0420 code (catalyst efficiency below threshold). I tried your suggestion about putting lacquer thinner in the gas, but that didn't fix the problem. Just got a new catalytic converter installed (the one connected to the exhaust manifold) courtesy of my county government (they paid for $1K of the total $1300 bill) but now I've got P2096 and P0138 codes coming up, which I didn't have before. I never had these problems when I owned Hondas or Toyotas, even with higher mileage.

Fords are designed to die in a way that makes you want to kill it. But before they die, they feel "just fine". As long as you have reserve funds and don't "fall in love" with one, they can be okay. Just that after 180k, you better buy some "tow insurance".

@thegearknob7161 3 года назад

Strange that those 3.7 ford V6s have water pumps like that. The old 2.5 and 3.0l V6 had a normal one. It was on the gearbox end of the engine which is a bit strange, but it was relatively accessible and they rarely caused problems. Mazda once used those engines too, although I think they actually used the Jaguar version of it with better cylinder heads and coil on plug ignition.

@davejohnson1819 3 года назад

I had a Scion IA (Mazda 2). The breaks would speak and groan, not just when there was rust on the rotor. Break job did not fix that. When I put the shifter in park and hit Engin Off, the engine would stop, but the car would think is was still running, can't lock etc. I had to start it up, go to drive and then park 2 or 3 times. Toyota had nothing to say since it was an intermittent problem.

@petersondesrosiers5024 3 года назад

We recently brought a 2017 Mazda CX9 they ended their partnership with Ford back in 2011. Mazda is completely made in Japan. Unlike a lot of Japanese auto makers nowadays. The 2016 and newer CX9 are 100% Japanese engineered and made. I did my research my wife loves her CX9 Grand Touring. Mazda is so good they are partnering up with Toyota to build a joint factory . Toyota wants to put Mazda engine tech in their boring cars to get some zoom in theirs. If Mazda was bad Toyota wouldn't want anything to do with them.

That's a shame this vehicle has such bad design when it comes to changing the water pump. I recently bought a 2005 Mazda 3 hatchback with the 2.3 176k miles for $700. It needed a clutch, so that being said, I gambled on it. I bought a clutch kit, master cylinder and slave cylinder and had my mechanic install everything. So far, I'm pretty happy with my purchase.

If it's anything like the Ford Explorer, you can do it without removing the engine, etc. I have done plenty on the police explorer's! I made a support bracket for the under side to help hold the engine in place. I'm retired now. So I done messing with those stupid motors. Oh, I could do the job in an 8 hours if I really stayed at it. There's a weep hole on the side of the motor, from the waterpump, a/c alternator location. When we did oil changes, we looked for antifreeze in that general area. We always prayed we see no antifreeze. lol

@EMichaelBall 3 года назад

1996-01 are the best for project purposes. Those are the cheapest to buy, because they have a fully plastic intake manifold that would fail at a certain point and leak coolant all over. The 02's and later got a manifold that's metal in that spot, and you can get one online and retrofit it onto the car when changing coolant.
