CarComplaints.com Notes: The only area of real concern for 2010 Mazda CX-9 owners is the brake booster.
In 2014, Mazda extended the warranty on the 2007-2013 CX-9 brake booster to 7 years / 90,000 miles. However this extended warranty has expired, so buyer beware.
This Mazda CX-9 brake booster failure isn't terrible in terms of repair cost — it "only" costs $550 average to fix. However it is a safety issue when the brake booster fails as it increases stopping distance. Owners have reported having to stomp on the brake pedal, & crashes/injuries have been reported due to this CX-9 brake booster defect.
Brake pedal became inconsistent when stopping - sometimes too soft - sometimes really have to push hard to stop. I had a brake man look at it and he said that they had been recalled... but I can't find a true recall. I see several things when I google about the subject - but when looking at current recalls, there are none. Please help! I can't afford to have this fixed. I've done really well at keeping up with the maintenance on that car, and this needs to be fixed by the dealer.
