Hi, we have a 2018 Mazda CX-9 Touring model with about 77,000 miles. After some problems with heater, we understand from the dealer that the engine is trash. They want $11,000 for a replacement motor. Something about a problem with the engine block and heads being damaged due to the heat from the turbo charger. I understand that Mazda published a TSB regarding the problem, but I'm not sure they will help me with the cost of replacement. Further, I'm stuck with a useless car and at the dealer's mercy in terms of getting the car repaired versus trading it in on new car. This is our second CX-9 and both cars have been problematic. I thought Mazda's were better cars. Thanks, Glenn
Well the brand new one seemed to be somewhat better but I guess they still having problems. If you bought those new and change the oil every 5000 mi or so then definitely they have problems
