CarComplaints.com Notes: The only area of real concern for 2012 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 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.

Well, here we are again with additional brake issues with the car my wife has nicknamed the "DeathStar". The brakes will be VERY spongy every 10-12 cycles and seems to be an issue when you slow down gently from 20 MPH. Brakes will not react until pedal is 3/4 down to the floor. In most situations the pedal is reacting within the first 1" of be depressed. Car is scheduled to go to the dealership this week.
