2008 mazda cx9 smart key, after reprogramming ($350) new fobs ($100 each) and numerous battery replacing the smart key still will not function as promised, wirelessly unlocking, locking and starting the vehicle. Here is only one key hole on the vehicle, which cases he owner/ driver/ user to constantly walk around the vehicle to lock/ unlock and/or start the car. It also greatly increases the risk of loosing the only hard copy of the key costing another $350 in programming and cutting.

There have been a multitude of problems on the vehicle (two sets of brakes, tierod, electrical overhaul vacuum hoses...) the major issue has been oil leaking. This past summer (2011) there was an oil leak. The dealer had the car for several days before diagnosing that it was the rear main seal. The seal was replaced (car was at dealer for nearly two weeks.) this fall (2011) oil was still leaking. After several days the dealer contacted mazda corporate and they suggested replacing the transmission, claiming it was not uncommon. The dealer replaced the transmission. Winter/spring 2012 oil still leaking, car is currently at the dealer - claiming it is the rear main seal. Again? Wouldn't that have been replaced with the new transmission?
