“I was dropping my children off to daycare turning into the parking lot and going over a bump when I heard a loud pop toward the front of the car - the car completely stopped dead - I got out to find the front right tire was cocked hard left and was off its control arm - some fluid was also leaking out of the axle area. This happened the monday morning after I received the recall notice from Mazda this past weekend! I had the form in the car to call for service this week. …”

“I have just learned about issues with the Mazda cx9 and wheels falling off and I realized that is exactly what happened to me. I always took care of my cx 9 because I drive a lot for work and depend on my car very much, so when issues with the steering started I took it to sears for a wheel alignment since I had just replaced a new set of tires a couple of months before, it seemed ok after the alignment until again the small skip of the steering started every time I turn the wheel, I did think much of it until it started increasing. …”

“Mazda recall state of nj. The car was in motion when the tire came loose. My husband hit a small pothole. Luckily we were able to get the car on the side of ride. Due to the recall we were not able to put the claim through our insurance and Mazda is telling me I won't get a refund for the work done because it took so long to be repaired. Unfortunately, we do not recall receiving anything about the recall. After reading the recall basically what it said could happen did and the car needed repairs. I attached the invoice and recall from Mazda's website.”

“The vehicle started to have problems with the car shaking around 50mph. So we planned to have it looked at since we heard that this particular model has some known issues that may become severe. During the drive to the car shop (literally 1 mile from home) the axle/bearing or front suspension separated from the car!!! The front left wheel and joints separated from the car; the wheel looks like it was breaking off! We were driving around 15mph! No one was hurt and thank goodness it was around 11am so there was no traffic around to make things worse. …”
