October 2021 purchase 2 Cooper Evolution H/T All-Season 245/60R18. With less than 8k miles, both tires developed deformities/bulging on upper sidewal/tread,line intersect, causing vehicle to shimmy. The dot #'s of both tires are up83 1LE 1021 . Tires have a 60k warranty. Cooper tires issues two safety recalls due to sidewall deformities on this tire model, same plant, but in a different sizes. February 26, 2021 cooper tires has issued yet another safety recall on this exact model tire but in a different size. The 2 cooper evolution HT tires seem to also have sidewall defects. I feel that the bulging tires are a safety hazard due to manufacturing defects. I would like to have my 245/60r18 cooper evolution as well as all of the other sizes of this model tire made by cooper, futher reviewed to the recall list

The contact owns a 2009 Mazda CX9. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the hot engine temperature warning light illuminated.

WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL, DRY CONDITIONS ON HIGHWAY 540 IN NORTH CAROLINA, MY RIGHT REAR COPPER CS5 ULTRA TOURING TIRE CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED AND SEPARATED THE TREAD COMPLETELY FROM THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE ON MY 2009 MAZDA CX-9.

WHILE PULLING A SMALL TRAILER THE CAR STOPPED UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THE TRANSFER CASE SHATTERED INTO PIECES

MY BRAKES STARTED FEELING SPONGY BUT HARD TO PUSH WHEN I WOULD TRY TO COME TO A STOP. IT FELT AT TIMES LIKE MY CAR WASN'T GOING TO STOP. I STOPPED DRIVING IT AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED. AT THAT TIME, I LOST BRAKES COMPLETELY. THE BRAKE PEDDLE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN PRESSED. HOPEFULLY THE BOOSTER IS A BAD ONE.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. IT WORKS FOR AWHILE AND THEN STOPS WORKING. WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHT MAY OR MY NOT COME ON AND THAT IS WHILE SITTING STILL OR WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. I HAVE REPLACED THE SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES.

I WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO HIGH SCHOOL IN THE MORNING WITH MY SON IN THE CAR AS WELL. IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL, I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. MY FOOT WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN THEY FINALLY CAUGHT BUT I WAS OUT IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND LUCKILY NO ONE HIT ME AND INJURED MY SON OR MYSELF. AFTER REPLACING THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS THAT DID NOT FIX THE SITUATION, I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MAZDA CX-9 THAT WAS EVEN INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA WITHOUT HAVING A RECALL. HOW DOES SOMETHING SO CRITICAL IN THE SAFETY OF LIVES DOES NOT GENERATE A RECALL THAT THE NHTSA HAS SEEN REPEATED COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITHOUT ADVISING OR CARING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMERS AND OTHER DRIVERS. IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT MAZDA HAS NOT ADDRESSED OR CORRECTED.

OIL AND COOLANT MIXED TOGETHER AND CAUSE ENGINE TO DIE WITH A SERVICE CODE OF P0016 WHICH MEANS PER THE DEALER THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAD IT SERVICE BY MAZDA DEALERSHIP CONSISTENTLY. THIS IS COMMON ISSUE AND MAZDA MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE COVER THIS ISSUE FOR CUSTOMERS.

HISSING SOUND WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. PEDAL GETS REALLY HARD TO PUSH THEN IT GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN A PANIC STOP IT FEELS THAT THE CAR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. I AM TOLD THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS FAILED. THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS APPROXIMATELY 138,000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL, I CALLED MAZDA AMERICA ON OR AROUND MARCH 1, 2019 ABOUT THIS RECALL, I EXPLAINED I WOULD NEED A VEHICLE TO USE AS THEY FIXED IT, THE LADY ON THE PHONE EXPLAINED THAT THERE DEALER IN HUNTERSVILLE NC WOULD NOT HAVE A VEHICLE TO LOAN FOR THREE OR FOUR DAY AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD CALL ME, ITS NOT THE 25TH OF MARCH AND NO PHONE CALLS FRON MAZDA OR THERE DEALER!

TAKATA RECALL VIN: [XXX] I HAVE REPEATEDLY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (SUBURBAN AUTO COLLECTION OF TROY - MICHIGAN) SUBURBAN MAZDA OF TROY FOR THE PAST 1-2 YEARS ASKING THEM TO CHECK AND SEE IF OUR VEHICLE IS ON THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL LIST AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED EVERYTIME THAT IT WAS NOT. I CHECKED THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND CONFIRMED THAT THEIR IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON THE AIRBAG FOR OUR CX-9. WE WERE NOT CALLED OR INFORMED (AS THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO). WE DID NOT RECEIVE THE PROPER NOTIFICATION FROM TAKATA OR THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP. OUR VEHICLE WAS EITHER APART OF THE RECALL FROM THE START OR IT WAS ADDED LATER WHEN THE RECALL WAS EXPANDED, HOWEVER WE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING TELLING US TO HAVE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MAZDA CX9 BREAK BOOSTER DIAPHRAGM LEAKAGE. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2009 MAZDA CX9 THAT ALMOST GOT ME KILLED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE THE CAR AHEAD OF ME ABRUPTLY SLOWED DOWN. I PRESSED MY BREAKS TO SLOW DOWN AND IT FELT AS HARD AS A ROCK PROMPTING ME TO MAKE SHARP MANEUVER INTO THE OTHER LANE, THANKFULLY NO OTHER CARS WERE COMING ON THAT LANE. UPON MAKING HOME I WENT ON THE COMPUTER AND RESEARCH THE ISSUE. I FOUND OUT THAT THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECTS WITH THE BREAK BOOSTERS IN THE CX9 AND MAZDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD TO PAY $680 TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED BECAUSE I MISSED THE 2015 DEADLINE SET BY MAZDA TO HAVE THE BREAK BOOSTER FIXED. I WAS SO UPSET, I CALLED MAZDA USA WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THE ISSUE. TO ROB SALT IN THE WOUND THE LADY I SPOKE TO ON THE PHONE ADVISED MY TO MAKE SURE THAT I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP FOR THE OPEN RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS ISSUE. (WHICH I INTERPRETED AS "IF YOUR BREAKS FAIL AND YOU DIE, THE AIRBAG WILL PROTECT FACE SHOULD IN CASE YOUR FAMILY WANTS TO DO AN OPEN CASKET AT YOUR FUNERAL"). I BELIEVE IT IS UNFAIR FOR MAZDA TO AVOID FIXING A KNOWN DEFECTS IN THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY SYSTEM IN A CAR ( THE BREAKS) BY PASSING IT OFF AS A WARRANTY PROGRAM. I AM GLAD TO BE ALIVE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. PLEASE THINK ABOUT PEOPLES SAFETY AND NOT THE INTEREST OF THE MANUFACTURERS AND DO THE RIGHT THING.

HI THERE ... WE GOT REAR ENDED LAST YEAR ... I HAVE HAD NO LUCK GETTING OUR MAZDA REPAIRED FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS ... MAZDA HAS NOT CALLED ME BACK FOR REPAIR

TAKATA RECALL, ENTERING VIN IN THIS SITE DOES NOT RESULT IN A RECALL FOR AIR BAGS SHOWN. ENTERING ON THE MAZDA SITE INDICATES THERE IS A RECALL. HOWEVER IT ALSO SAYS SOLUTION IS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WOULD LIKE CONFIRMATION AND A PROPOSED TIME LINE FOR REPAIR. IF THIS CAN NOT BE COMPLETED WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS I WOULD LIKE THE ABILITY TO DISABLE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG UNTIL A REPLACEMENT/REPAIR CAN BE AFFECTED.

CAR DANGEROUSLY SHUDDERS AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING & AT CERTAIN HIGHWAY SPEEDS INCREASINGLY FOR LAST TWO YEARS DUE TO FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER DESIGN PER TWO TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTICS DONE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE RANDOM NATURE OF THE SHUDDER AND HIGH COST TO REBUILD TRANSMISSION IS PROHIBITIVE FOR MANY PEOPLE DRIVING CX9S AT RISK

TAKATA RECALL - THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I CANNOT USE ALL 7 SEATS IN MY 7-PASSENGER VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT.

PLEASE ALLOW PEOPLE AFFECTED TO GO TO THEIR DEALERS TO HAVE THE FAULTY AIRBAGS REMOVED/DISCONNECTED UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO USE OUR VEHICLES FULLY.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT WATER MAY ENTER THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER ARM BALL JOINT FITTINGS DURING DRIVING. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED SINCE RECEIVING A NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER 2015. THEY SAID PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY WILL NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE.

SO I WAS BACKING UP FROM A PARKING SPACE ON A SHOPPING CENTER AND MY BRAKE PEDAL ON MY MAZDA CX-9 DID NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY. DUE TO THIS PROBLEM I BUMP IN TO SOME ONE ELSE'S CAR. THE PEDAL HAS TURN SO HARD IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR FRACTIONS OF SECONDS TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. AFTER THE INCIDENT WITH HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. I NOTICE BESIDE BEEN HARD IT STARTED MAKING A SQUEAKY NOICE AND ALSO LIKE AND AIR SOUND UNDER THE DASH BOARD. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION AGAINS MAZDA FOR THEIR BRAKE BOOSTER ON THIS MODEL AND SURE ENOUGH, THAT'S WHAT IT WAS, I'M JUST SO BLESSED IT HAPPENS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE FREEWAY. SO I CALLED MAZDA AND THEY SAID THEY WILL COVER THE PART BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE WORK DONE TO THE VEHICLE. SO I DID A RESEARCH ON PRICING AND I FOUND OUT MAZDA IS CHARGING $269.00 FOR THE WOK DONE, SUPPOSEDLY THEM COVERING THE PART, AND OUTSIDE THAT IS JUST AROUND THE SAME PRICE ELSE WHERE. NOT ONLY THAT THEY DID NOT COVER EVERYTHING MOST LIKELY MY INSURANCE MAY GO UP AND TO ADD TO THE PROBLEM THEY WILL CHARGE ME FOR RENTING A CAR WHILE THEY FIX IT. THERE IS NO HELP WITH A PART THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS IN THE TIME FRAME OF THE YEAR OF THIS VEHICLES. AND IT WAS MANUFACTURE DEFECT.

SUV WOULD GO OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY WHEN TRAVELING A HIGH SPEED. TOOK IT TO DEALER, THEY SAY THAT THEY FOUND OIL & WATER MIX IN THE ENGINE DUE TO WATER PUMP FAILURE, MULTIPLE SYMPTOMS WOULD OCCUR AS DUE TO THIS CONDITION. THIS ISSUE IS VERY SERIES, FIRST YOU GET NO INDICTION OF THE PROBLEM, NOT SURE WHY THE WATER PUMP FAILURE CAUSES WATER TO ENTER THE MOTOR AND MIX WITH OIL, IT MUST BE A MAZDA DESIGN PROBLEM, WHICH THEY SEEM TO KNOW ABOUT AND NEVER ISSUED A RECALL TO GET ALL THE CAR FIXED. IF YOU ARE DRIVING WITH YOUR FAMILY AT 50 MPE IN AN HIGHWAY THE CAR WILL JUST GO OFF AND YOU CAN GET IMPACTED AT THE REAR WITH VERY HORRIBLE CONSEQUENCES. WILL MAZDA ISSUE A RECALL FOR SUCH A SERIES ISSUE?

WHEN BREAKING I HEAR PULSATING SOUND AND VERY DIFFICULT TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN EVENTUALLY, BUT REQUIRE INTENSE PRESSURE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. THERE IS ALSO A PULSATING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. IT TAKES ABOUT TWICE THE DISTANCE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THAN PREVIOUSLY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEM ON THE DASHBOARD, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY FEEL SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH BREAKING. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING.

WHILE TRAVELING @ ABOUT 15 MPH MADE A RIGHT TURN UP A ONE WAY STREET, CAR MADE A LOUD THUMP SOUND AND LURCHED FORWARD. AT WHICH POINT THE CAR STOPPED AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE BACK OR FORWARD. EXITED VEHICLE TO FIND DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BROKE OFF AND MOVED FORWARD IN THE WHEEL WELL. MAZDA ROADSIDE WAS CALLED AND FLATBED SERVICE ARRANGED. CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY HAS 74,000 MILES. MAZDA NEEDS TO ACT QUICKLY ON THIS RECALL ISSUE BECAUSE SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KIILLED (DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS)
