Owners have filed 98 complaints
about the 2007 Mazda CX-9 with NHTSA between 2008 and 2025.
The largest single group is the suspension.
Across this model's run it ranks 14 of 17 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 46
Against the median year of the Mazda CX-9. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 21
4.1% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 21
13% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
Odometer readings owners gave when they filed. About half of all
complaints include one.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 2007 Mazda CX-9
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Lower ball joint separation
In an July 7,2015 letter to NHTSA, Mazda identified a safety defect that could result in lower ball joint separation in approximately 193,484 model year (MY) 2007 through 2014 Mazda CX-9 vehicles (NHTSA Recall No. 15V-451,Mazda 8515G).Mazda indicated that damage to the ball joint boot may allow water to enter the front suspension ball joint fitting during use which may result in premature ball joint wear and a progressively looser joint.In January 2014, Mazda implemented redesigned lower control arms in production vehicles to improve the durability of the lower ball joints.The redesign involve...
Recalls on the 2007 Mazda CX-9
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2007-2012 CX-7, CX-9, and 2009-2012 Maza6 vehicles. These vehicles had their passenger frontal air bag inflators previously replaced under a prior recall using inflators of the same design. The inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.
Risk: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Recall 201803018,438 units in Canada
Airbag
On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Note: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2017-012. Vehicles completed under the previous 2017-012 recall require repair under this recall, as the previous recall remedy was an interim repair. Interim repair parts must be replaced with final repair parts.

Recall 201532310,600 units in Canada
Suspension
On certain vehicles, the front suspension ball joint could separate from the lower control arm due to corrosion caused by saltwater intrusion. This could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace lower control arm with an updated version.
Recall 20090553,510 units in Canada
Seats And Restraints
On certain vehicles equipped with power-adjustable seat with position memory function, the seat wiring harness may be subject to chafe damage. As a result the covering of the seat harness may become damaged, allowing the core wire of the harness to contact a bracket and cause an electrical short-circuit. In the worst case, certain functions such as seat position, height adjustment and seatback reclining may be activated unexpectedly and be uncontrollable. Should this occur while the vehicle is in motion, it could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and secure the seat harness as required. If necessary, the harness covering will be repaired or the harness will be replaced.

WAS DRIVING MY CAR WITH CHILDREN IN IT WHEN THE WHEEL FELL OFF AND AXEL CRACKED. IT CAUSED FRONT END DAMAGE I COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T OPEN. HAD TO PAY TO GET ALL OF THAT FIXED. I JUST RECEIVE RECALL 8515G. MY ISSUE WITH THIS IS THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE REASON FOR THE RECALL IS THAT WATER GET LEAK INTO THE SUSPENSION AND CAUSE CORROSION. REPLACING JUST THE CONTROL ARMS AND BALL JOINTS DOES NOT PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. WATER CAN STILL LEAK INTO THE SUSPENSION AND THE NEW PARTS COULD COULD CORRODE, BECOME LOOSE AND CAUSE THE SAME THING TO HAPPEN AGAIN BUT THIS TIME IT COULD RESULT IN MORE DIRE CONSEQUENCES. WE WERE LUCKY I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. THIS IS FORCING US TO BUY A NEW CAR WHEN WE STILL OWE $8000 ON THE MAZDAZ WE WANT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS AND THE ACCIDENT WE HAD AND THE RISK IT OUT THE LIVES OF ME AND MY CHILDREN IN. FURTHERMORE MAZDA SAID THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF PARTS WHICH MEANS THEY WON'T REPLACE IF THERE IS NO SIGN OF LOOSENESS. THIS IS REDICULOUS AS MY CRASH OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS AFTER BEING INSPECTED.

ON NOVEMBER 5, 2014 I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN MY MAZDA CX-9. THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BROKE FREE FROM THE CAR WHILE I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY ON AN ON-RAMP. I WAS GOING ABOUT 50-55 MPH AND ABOUT TO MERGE INTO THE FIRST HIGHWAY LANE WHEN THE LEFT FRONT BALL JOINT FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND RESULTED IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE TO MY CAR. AN INSURANCE CLAIM WAS FILES AND THE DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED. I COULD HAVE DIES SINCE I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES COMING AT THE MOMENT.

WHILE MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH, OUR SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED -- NOT IMPLODED FROM AN OBJECT HITTING THE GLASS, BUT EXPLODED, WITH THE REMAINING GLASS SHIFTED OUTWARDS AND A HUGE SECTION OF GLASS FROM THE MIDDLE COMPLETELY MISSING. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO OBJECT THAT HIT THE ROOF; THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS ABOUT 70 DEGREES, WITH THE INSIDE TEMPERATURE A TAD COOLER AT APPROXIMATELY 65 DEGREES; AND THE ROAD AROUND US WAS SMOOTH AND, AS FAR AS WE COULD SEE, FREE FROM DEBRIS. WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE DAMAGE, AND OF THE ROAD WHERE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY A SUNROOF WOULD SO DANGEROUSLY EXPLODE FOR (SEEMINGLY) NO REASON AT ALL, UNLESS THE ITEM WAS EITHER DEFECTIVE, OR WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE IN AN INCORRECT MANNER. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FAR MORE SERIOUS THAN IT WAS -- THANKFULLY WE HAD THE SUNROOF COVER CLOSED, SO WHAT GLASS FELL DOWNWARD FELL ONTO THE COVER, AND THE CARS BEHIND US WERE A RELATIVELY GOOD DISTANCE BEHIND US - THOUGH I'M STILL UNCERTAIN IF THEY SUSTAINED ANY DAMAGE TO THEIR VEHICLE OR PERSON IN THE INCIDENT. BECAUSE THE EXPLOSION SOUNDED MUCH LIKE A LOUD GUNSHOT OR OTHER EXPLOSION RIGHT ABOVE US, BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I VIOLENTLY DUCKED FOR COVER -- A VERY DANGEROUS PROPOSITION AT 70MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IN A LARGE CITY. I SEVERELY STRAINED MY NECK AND SHOULDER, REQUIRING MEDICAL ATTENTION AND PRESCRIPTIONS TO MANGE THE PAIN AND MUSCLE STIFFNESS.
