I NOTICED IN THE LAST ALMOST YEAR A STRANGE VIBRATION IN THE SUV WHEN I TURN, AS TIME WENT ON IT GOT LOUDER. I HAD COUPLE OTHER PARTS REPLACED THROUGHOUT THIS TIME THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE. I THAN FIND OUT RECENTLY IT WAS THE READ REPELLER SHAFT AND ANOTHER PART WHICH CONNECTS TO THE ENGINE ALSO PART OF THE DRIVE SHAFT. NOISE OCCURS WITH DRIVING I NOTICED AFTER SEARCHING IT IS COMMON WITH THIS SUV

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE A SEVERE SHUDDERING VIBRATION AND LOUD NOISE EMANATED FROM FRONT END OF VEHICLE, AS IF FRONT AXEL WAS GOING TO FALL OFF. HAPPENED THREE TIMES SO FAR. ONCE TO MY WIFE, ONCE TO ME, AND ONCE TO THE MECHANIC. VERY FRIGHTENING EACH TIME, CAUSING DRIVERS TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF VEHICLE. THEN VEHICLE DRIVES OK FOR A WHILE. HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT FORWARD. MECHANIC STATES IT IS A FAILED POWER TRANSFER UNIT. MECHANIC'S RESEARCH INDICATED IT IS A BIG PROBLEM IN MAZDA CX-9 VEHICLES, AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED AND RESULTED IN A SETTLEMENT. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THAT SETTLEMENT DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE YEAR (2008), AND IS LIMITED TO VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER 2010, AND WHICH MEET CERTAIN SPECIFICATIONS. MECHANIC ESTIMATES REPAIR WILL RUN IN THE $1100-$1500 RANGE. WONDERING IF I HAVE ANY RECOURSE WITH REGARD TO THIS PROBLEM AND THE FACT THAT IT SEEMS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT RATHER THEN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR
