CarComplaints.com Notes: The only area of real concern for 2013 Mazda CX-9 owners is the brake booster.
In 2014, Mazda extended the warranty on the 2007-2013 CX-9 brake booster to 7 years / 90,000 miles. However this extended warranty has expired for most affected CX-9 owners, so buyer beware.
This Mazda CX-9 brake booster failure isn't terrible in terms of repair cost — it "only" costs $550 average to fix. However it is a safety issue when the brake booster fails as it increases stopping distance. Owners have reported having to stomp on the brake pedal, & crashes/injuries have been reported due to this CX-9 brake booster defect.

The transfer case on AWD models of the CX-9 has been an issue for MANY years now and apparently still is for 2013 model year. I had 28,000 miles on my CX-9, just hit 2 years old and it was making a stinking burning smell and dropping gear oil on my garage floor. So, I did the best I could to replace the gear oil (it's supposed to last forever apparently) and the stuff that came out was just a thick black sludge.
I'm not ready to deal with taking my car in for service and getting a new transfer case so I've taken it upon myself to keep it operational, for now. If you search the issue though you will discover this issue has been going on a LONG time and Mazda doesn't seem to be fixing it. If there is a reliable transfer case I'd be getting one but I see no point to get another one that hasn't solved the inherent problem if I can keep it functional until there is one.
