Mazda CX-9 Resonant Vibration
My new CX-9 GT AWD has a mild engine resonance vibration that starts around 2000 RPM and goes away at around 2600 RPM. I can feel in in the steering wheel and the pedal. It sounds like fairly normal engine sounds during accelaration and if it were there throughout the entire RPM range, I might think it is normal, but it comes in and them goes away in the above range and is the same no matter what gear the car is in or speed it is travelling.
Does anyone else notice this?
I haven't brought the car in for its first service, but I'm expecting the dealer to say that it is normal since it is probably difficult or impossible to fix/change.

I don't feel any such problem on mine.
I start to wondering if this happen to most of 08 GT AWD?
Is the dealer OakTree Mazda?
There is a slight vibration around 2000rpm, but not enough for me to call it an issue.
If they can make it smooth, why not?
I hope Mazda send a TSB to all Mazda dealers so that all customers can benefit from your experience. Thanks.
The vibration actually did not bother me a lot except my wife complain about it. I sent in my car without any expectation since it is just a not big problem and thought it might be difficult to fix it. However, they fixed it! Nice work from both dealership and Mazda. I will keep being a loyal Mazda customer (Tribute -> RX-8 -> CX-7 -> CX-9).
Feel great on ultra-smooth Zoom-Zoom now.
Are there any service bulletins on-line about it?
Can anyone who has had this fixed please give some details. I would really hate to have my dealer blindly work on the car if I can point them in the right direction.
Much appreciated.

What should I tell them as far as guidance on this mystery TSB? I signed the paperwork, but haven't given them a dime yet andI don't want to ake it if they can't fix the problem as most of my driving is at those speeds.
Thx
On my 2008 AWD Touring CX-9, I experienced a vibration or low rumble between 25-30 mph under light acceleration. It was very annoying.Right around shifting 3rd to 4th gear. Rumble/vibration was occuring in 4th gear, and stopped right at 30 mph. It seemed to me that the transmission had shifted into 4th too early, and the engine was laboring. I was mistaken...
My dealer diagnosed the problem as the Drive shaft being out of round. This is a 3 piece drive shaft, that connects the front PTO to the rear gear box. They had the part overnighted, and problem solved... My CX-9 is now silky smooth... It behaved like this from new, and I had 2000 miles on it when repaired. I suspect they had a bad batch of drive shafts... I hope my experience helps those of you experiencing the same...

Can you tell me your VIN? I'd like to see if mine is in the same range.
Thx!
My VIN is JM3TB38V180146xxx
The bracket was ordered overnight and it took one hour to install. Vibration is gone! Car drives great.
As long as people who look for CX9 TSB can find it over there, that thread serves its purpose.
