What are some common problems with the Mazda CX-9?
After reading tons of reviews on SUVs, I found that the Mazda CX-9 is perhaps the best value buy on the market, especially for used models. That said, I’m a bit apprehensive about any used car. Are there any common problems with the Mazda CX-9?

If you buy a used model, watch out for these common problems with the Mazda CX-9:
- Premature engine failure, which can occur around the 100,000-mile mark
- Failure of the water pump
- Failure of the brake power unit, which can cause longer braking times
- Corrosion on the valve stem and TPMS warnings
- Clutch failure
- Variable valve timing and stretched timing chains
- Melting dashboards and glare
With a four-star out of five-star reliability rating from RepairPal, the
Mazda CX-9
ranks first overall for dependability in the full-size SUV segment. While newer models have fewer issues, high mileage and older cars may face more.Overall: Repair Pal experts give Mazda a 4.0/5.0 for reliability, ranking it the fifth most reliable car brand (out of a total of 32 brands). This is supported by solid reliability ratings from Consumer Reports and J.D. Power.
Bonus: The average annual repair cost for a Mazda CX-9 is $462, making it lower than the industry average of $652.
