The service guy told me it must be my driving style!
Mazda USA said there's nothing they can do because it's not a manufactures issue. Well it is an issue if the brake rotors only last 10,000 miles!
Anyone else with this problem?
My rear brakes had been updated by the dealer at 28,000 miles for the problems you mention (new shims and bracket and pads with rotors machined), but I don't think they lubricated the new pads when they installed them and did not adjust the parking brake.
Check tires, wheel bearings, axel fluids. Dealer needs to fix this if covered under warranty. (Tires not covered, of course). Could be the axels?
Axle whine is a continuous, steady state tonal sound, emitted from the differential unit’s hypoid gears. It is essentially induced by torque variations. This can be as a result of resonant conditions or torque fluctuations caused by engine order vibrations, compounded by gear transmission error. The principal mechanism of gear whine noise generation is, therefore, through transmission of vibration from the gear shafts and bearings to the differential housing, which is radiated as noise.

Could not work
2nd problem - is common for the exhaust to squeak, especially in the rear when going over bumps or on start up? Is there a fix for this?
Let me know if you have any more questions!
Thanks!
First, TCS off light and Slippery road warning light were on.
On red traffic light, I stopped my car, turned off engine and restarted it, which had been a quick fix for the lights problem.
This time, it resulted in a different problem. Engine worked but transmission did not work. My car did not move at all. After trying various different things, my car finally started moving only at 5th gear. no other lower gears worked. At the same time, check engine light and "AT" light were on. Has anyone experienced similar problem? My car seems working fine now but I am afraid the issue may be repeated... Other than that, my cx9 has not had an issue.
Thanks,
After inspecting the corner of the driver's door and comparing it to the passenger door, it's clear that the window glass separates from the weather stripping in the corner. The corner of the window is fully exposed and must be the cause of the noise.
Do you recommend a mechanic or body shop to remove and replace the weather stripping?
Thanks in advance for you help.

it is showing the exact same issue at 42 mph.... I have seen other posts
mentioning whining noise but not specific to speed, saying it may be
related to fuel pump issue?
We own a 2007 Mazda CX9 with only 30,000 miles. We just moved from Boston to Dallas and about a month ago the right front axle fell apart - we thought we had heard something hit the car in the highway but when we took the car to the shop we were were told it was severely rusted. Luckily it did not break on the highway. Then the guys at the shop said the the right front suspension was also rusted and recommended changing it; then they said the same about the left rear and finally about the right rear suspension. Then they say that the exhaust will need to be replaced too. After expending a lot of money on the car we are now told we are probably looking at $8,000-$10,000 to fix everything. Again this is a car with only 30,000 miles that slept in a garage its entire life. Of course, Mazda response was that this is normal and not covered by the guarantee. I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar experience. I have no doubt that this issue will be a major recall for Mazda because it represents a major safety concern. I recommend that anyone with a CX9 living in the North East takes their car in for an inspection. Hopefully enough people raise their voice and forces Mazda to fix this issue.
