Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 CX-9.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2007 Mazda CX-9 is a three-row SUV offered with an automatic S6 transmission and EPA fuel economy ratings of 16 city, 22 highway, and 18 combined mpg. With 86 total owner complaints and six recalls, this first model year shows a moderate reliability record, though its top complaint area—suspension—foreshadows a pattern that would peak in the 2012 model year with 221 complaints. As the earliest year in a model history spanning 2007 through 2023, the 2007 CX-9 sits below that peak but above the 2022 model’s low of nine complaints, placing it in the middle of the model’s long-term reliability trajectory.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2007 Mazda CX-9 enters the federal record with 86 complaints, 6 recalls, 1 investigation, and 278 TSBs, figures that represent the low-water mark of the early years before volumes climbed to 172 complaints in 2008 and peaked at 221 in 2012, initiating a gradual downward trend that continued through the mid-2010s. Against that trajectory, 2007 carries fewer complaints than the 2008–2012 period and matches the recall counts of 2008 and 2010, though it exceeds the 59 complaints recorded in 2009. Owner filings for 2007 cluster most heavily in Suspension with 23 complaints and Air Bags with 13, with the data also noting 2 crash-related and 1 fire-related complaint but specifying no underlying cause. Given its position before the generation's highest complaint volumes and its comparatively moderate early-year metrics, the 2007 model presents as a relatively favorable first-year choice provided prospective buyers verify all 6 recalls have been completed.
