2010 Mazda CX-9 Engine Problems

“Me and my husband were on our way home from work. The car suddenly overheated and we lost power on I-35, we were able to get the car to an exit and was nearly hit by another car due to loss of steering and power. We had the car towed to a Mazda dealership. There is engine coolant in the oil and we are told it needs a new motor.”

“Takata recall I have a Mazda cx9 2010, I got no indication that there was a problem with my water pump. The care did not over heat, it did not stall and I was no steam coming from the car. I drove my vehicle to the other side of the water more than 20 miles from my home, so that I could go to work. If it were not for the pharmacist at my job I would have gotten in my car and drove off. He notice a puddle under my car and asked me to come outside so he could investigate the situation further. …”

“I was driving my car when the transfer case on my 2010 cx9 broke at 109.000 miles and spline gear is worn out. Overwhelming oil smell coming back into car along with horrible grinding noise.

The next day, enroute to the radiator shop; the same thing happened. After a tow home, then a tow to the radiator shop and eventually a tow home, it was diagnosed as a water pump failure and now a new engine is the answer for the repair. …”

“We were sitting in a parking lot waiting on a pizza. We noticed the A/C wasn't cooling, and then noticed the car was starting to overheat. (this was the first time ever). We checked the radiator, it was empty. We purchased coolant and filled up the reservoir. Never saw any leaks. Car started but seemed sluggish like the battery was low. We got our pizza and drove about 6 miles where we parked till we took it to the dealer on monday. Our mechanic called me later to tell me that the water pump had failed and that it had leaked into the oil pan and we would have to have the engine replaced. …”
