Facing a few problems with my 09 gt model
So I've had the car for about a year and a half and it has roughly 21000 miles on it but Ive been experiencing some problems with it
1. My passenger window does not work at times when I am trying to operate it from the drivers side. It only works when you operate it from the passengers side. The weird thing is that sometimes I can operate it from my side but rarely and its usually when I give the car a jump.
2. When I am driving there is this squeaky noice sounding like it is coming from the right hand front side of the car but when the car is at a stop the noise also stops. Any ideas on what it could be?
3. At times when the car is stopped with the breaks, the car suddenly starts shaking. I have no idea why this is happening and it does not happen when the car is moving or idling, only when it is stopped by brakes (such at a red light)
4. Recently my car has been having trouble starting up with the key pad. I sometimes have to use the actual key for it to starts because it does not sense the keypad. My guess is to get a new keypad?
5. The last thing is that my car has recently been shutting completely off when I try to start it (like the power is gone) but when I go to open the hood and literally shake the battery up the lights and power come back on. You guys think it could be a loose wire?
If anyone is able to help me with these problems I would greatly appreciate it.

Do you have any mods on the car? What's the mileage?
I'd bring it to the dealership. Should still be under warranty.
1. lose cable somewhere?
2. be more specific. 9bumps, flat road, slow/ fast driving, etc)
3. could be the engine mounts.
4. you probably just need a new battery
5. clean the terminals. make sure the connections are tight.

Well the power window problem has to due with your battery problem.
When you disconnect the battery, you MUST reinitialize your power windows for the auto up/down. You may have to check the owners manual because I'm going off the top of my head but I believe you hold the window switch down till the windows goes down all the way and you hold it there a second or two then go up on the window switch all the way and stilling hold the switch up for another second. Your auto windows should now be programmed and should work from either switch.
The second problem sound like your brakes are getting low.
The rest of your problems sound like a battery connection issue.

yea ill check the manual for the windows and I have installed the racing beat catback exhaust on my 8. It also has new tires and rims but other than that it is mostly stock so I don't know if the warranty is still valid

ALL BATTERY RELATED...Poor Car..
Do you stop to think that IF you can SHAKE your battery that something is not right???
Ummm..der..
Crikey mate, get with it..
1. Make sure battery is SECURE in Cradle and Tighten down, YOU SHOULD NOT be able to Shake or move your battery.
2. Make sure BOTH Terminal (+ -) Posts are tight/secure.
3. Check your Fluid Levels are correct (high) over lead plates of battery, they do dry out.
4. Your remote Start Key pad could also require a new Battery...COULD.

Engine mounts are not an issue with this series ...

you mention
that should be your first clue to get a new battery 
(or that something is wrong with your charging system)
agree with Ash, all bettery related. get a new one, make sure its secure, and make sure the cables are secured to the batt posts
usually when I give the car a jump.

Just goto the dealership, if the battery is bad this quick that should be a free replacement, even a duralast battery has a 36/mo guarantee on it so the one mazda slapped in there should too.
When you go you will have to sign something saying you agree to pay xxx amount of money for the inspection incase the stuff is not covered under warranty. Dont let that scare you away because this sounds like some major problems your having that should not be happening to an 09. I cant see them saying any of it is out of warranty because of "wear and tear" with what you described, but you never know.
