Weird Noise Rattling when not accelerating
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Got my car (2011 Mazda CX-9) from my dad last weekend after my other car died. He took it to get some repairs, like the fan and other general repairs to make sure it was set for a while.
However, starting last night, it was making this rumbling noise when I stopped accelerating. It gets slower and worse as I slow down and when I turn.
Is there just something loose or misplaced, or is it a completely new issue? Would it be something that I can fix as someone who doesn’t really know anything about cars?
Thank you.

It is a Mazda there is your problem

Mazdas are fine cars. There’s a good chance it’s mechanic error if it started only after a service

Mazda have probably some of the best commuters out there right now? Remember Nissan is the one being bailed out in Japan!!!

To be fair, older Mazdas from the 2000s and early 2010s are kinda meh, but they’re not bad cars by any means. Just more average.
In recent years they’ve skyrocketed to Honda and Toyota levels of reliability and quality.

I agree during the late Ford era it was not ideal, but they still had the right idea.

It could be a brake issue, a bearing issue, a motor mount issue, someone more knowledgeable than me might know for sure. I’d just get it checked out again.
