Why isn't my Mazda CX-9 all-wheel drive functioning properly?

The Mazda CX-9 has a sketchy track record with AWD issues, mainly due to problems with the transfer case that transfers power from the engine to the wheels. While Mazda extended the factory warranty for the CX-9 because of this, they didn't issue a complete recall. The problem is widespread enough that there were discussions about a lawsuit, but nothing came of it. If your CX-9 is experiencing AWD problems, don't delay in getting it checked out. Continuing to drive, even in front-wheel drive only, could damage the transmission, potentially costing more to fix than the vehicle is valued at.

    If the all-wheel drive system in the Mazda CX-9 is not functioning, there could be various reasons behind it. Some usual causes include a drained battery, low fuel level, faulty starter, worn-out spark plugs, or a damaged powertrain. If the problem is not clear, it's recommended to bring the vehicle to a mechanic for a professional assessment. The mechanic might use an OBD scanner to identify the issues, but this isn't always guaranteed.
