2010 Mazda CX-9 Speed Control & Cruise Problems

I WAS DRIVING AROUND A SHARP BEND IN THE ROAD. I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE TO SLOW DOWN AND THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING AT THE SAME SPEED. THE CAR NEVER SLOWED DOWN AND I HAD TO TAKE THE CORNER AT A UNSAFE SPEED. I DROVE TO THE NEXT STREET AND TESTED THE BRAKES AND THEY WORKED FINE? VERY SCARY INCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 MAZDA CX-9 APPROXIMATELY 65MPH ON INTERSTATE 270S IN MARYLAND, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE IN AN ATTEMPT TO PASS SEVERAL VEHICLES WHO WERE TRAVELING IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. ONCE I FELT THAT I HAD ENOUGH ADDITIONAL SPEED TO SUCCESSFULLY PASS THE VEHICLES, I RELEASED THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTED THAT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY MY BRAKES, BUT THEY WOULD NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE. AFTER SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO APPLY MY BRAKES, I SEARCHED FOR A SAFE PLACE TO CONTINUE TRAVELING AS MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE, NOTING I WOULD NEED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND MOVE INTO THE MEDIAN. LUCKILY, AFTER NUMEROUS REPEATED ATTEMPTS, MY BRAKES FINALLY ENGAGED AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THAT COULD ULTIMATELY LEAD TO A FATALITY. I AM TOO SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT IN TIME. *TR

MY CAR HAD UNEXPECTED ACCELERATIONS 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. MY BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP MY CAR. I HAD A TEAR IN MY KNEE ON THE LAST INCIDENT IN MARCH 2012. MY MEDICAL BILLS WERE AROUND $5,000. MAZDA KEPT MY CAR AND GAVE ME A RENTAL. BUT SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING. I SOLD THE CAR. I KNOW THIS DEALERSHIP HAD ANOTHER MAZDA DO THE SAME THING AS MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME MAZDA WAS AWARE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE. I WASN'T KILLED BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE GRASSY AREAS ALL 3 TIMES. BLOWING MY HORN AS A WARNING TO OTHER DRIVERS. I BELIEVE MY OLD CAR WAS TAKEN TO AN AUCTION BY MAZDA. AND THAT WAS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. I WISH MORE PEOPLE WOULD REPORT IT. I HAD ANOTHER MAN TELL ME IT HAPPENED TO HIM BUT HE DIDN'T REPORT IT TO ANY ONE ELSE ACCEPT THE DEALER. THE DEALER I USE MAZDA IN VIRGINIA BEACH. THEY HAVE SERVICED OTHER MAZDA CX 9'S WITH THIS ISSUE. THEY PUT A BAND AID ON IT. THEY CHANGED THE THROTTLE IN MY NEW CAR WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. THAT DID NOT WORK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA CX-9. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA CX-9. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLY ACCELERATED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED REPEATEDLY WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

WAS DRIVING ON I-495E IN MARYLAND BETWEEN EXITS 28 AND 29. CHANGED LANES AND PUT FOOT DOWN ON GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE. SUDDENLY FELT LIKE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK AND THAT BRAKING COULD ONLY SLOW BUT NOT STOP ACCELERATION. MOVED OVER A FEW LANES TO RIGHT SHOULDER AND AFTER CONTINUED FAILURE OF BRAKES TO STOP ACCELERATION (AND CONSIDERABLE ENGINE TORQUE) BEGAN TO APPLY EMERGENCY BRAKE. SLOWED ACCELERATION FURTHER BUT STILL COULD NOT BRING CAR TO A FULL STOP. FINALLY PUT CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND CAME TO A STOP. HAD TOWED TO NEAREST MAZDA DEALER, YET AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF TESTING THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR AND COULD NOT REPLICATE. CLAIMED MANUFACTURER HAD NO RECORD OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL. ONLY THING THEY COULD THINK OF WAS THAT ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MAT MIGHT HAVE SLID OVER PEDAL AND KEPT IT DEPRESSED. *TR
