2007 Mazda CX-7 Complaint Log

WHILE ON A TRIP, OUR A/C STOPPED WORKING ON OUR 2007 MAZDA CX-7. THIS CAR WAS 1 YEAR AND 1 MONTH OLD WE WENT TO THE NEAREST MAZDA DEALERSHIP. PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE, AND THE SERVICE TECH TOLD US THAT WE COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT A/C. 200 MILES LATER, THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING SOUNDS AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED AND ATTEMPTED TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD, AND COULDN'T FIND ANY PLACE TO PULL OVER, AND THEN BLACK SMOKE ENGULFED THE CAR. THE CAR "DIED" IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET WITH NO SHOULDER. WE BELIEVED AT THE TIME THAT OUR CAR HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO EMIT A LARGE AMOUNT OF BLACK SMOKE, WE RAN FROM THE CAR CALLED 911. WE DID NOT OPEN THE HOOD OF THE CAR THINKING THAT THERE WAS PROBABLY A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. BY THE TIME THE POLICE DEPT ARRIVED, THE SMOKING STOPPED. OUR CAR WAS DISABLED ON THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET (WITH NO SHOULDER). WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT OUR CAR DIDN'T CAUSE ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS TO OTHER VEHICLES WHILE IT WAS DISABLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WE WERE LEFT STRANDED WITH AN INOPERABLE "BURNT" CAR 800 MILES FROM HOME. OUR MAZDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE A/C "SEIZED" UP AND CAUSED THE SERPENTINE BELT TO "DISINTEGRATE". THE CAR WAS LEFT AT MAZDA FOR 2 WEEKS, AND THE PART STILL HAD NOT COME IN AND WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE BELT WAS REPLACED AND AN A/C UNIT TAKEN FROM ANOTHER CX-7 SO WE COULD GET OUR CAR HOME. HOW CAN AN A/C COMPRESSOR BE ON BACK ORDER ON A 1 YEAR OLD MODEL, UNLESS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON OTHER MAZDAS? I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

SMOKE STARTED TO COME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND SMELLED LIKE BURNT RUBBER. THERE WAS NO LEAK AND ALL THE BELTS LOOKED OK. LOST POWER STEERING AND ENGINE DIED. DID NOT TURN ON AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE A/C COMPRESSOR AND WANTED TO CHARGE AROUND $1900 (WITH TAXES AND EVERYTHING). SINCE I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT TOOK CARE OF MOST EXCEPT $180. I WOULD NOT FILE A COMPLAINT, EXCEPT THAT THE ONLY OTHER FRIEND THAT HAS A CX-7 HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND NOW LOOKING AT THE INTERNET IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. IT MAY BE TOO LATE FOR ME, BUT THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL SO OTHER PEOPLE COULD BE POTENTIALLY SAVED FROM HARM. *TR

FIRST THE AIR CON COMPRESSOR WENT OUT,NOW THE AIR BAGS LIGHTS STAYS ON.THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ALSO ON.MAZDA NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES.THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE FROM THE BEGINNING.

MADE APPT. WITH MAZDA SERVICE , REGARDING EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON CX-7 SUV. I HAVE A FIRESTONE TIRE PROTECTION FOR THIS SUV, ACCORDING TO FIRESTONE IT DOES NOT COVER WEAR. AT MY LAST OIL CHANGE BY FIRESTONE, THEY TOLD ME MY TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED, GAVE ME A PRICE, ETC. I TOLD THEM I WOULD CONTACT DEALER AND SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. APPT. WAS 8/1/08, I WAS TOLD MY TIRES ARE ONLY HALF WORN@20,113 MILES. TREAD WEAR WAS MEASURED @ 5/32 ON FRONT AND 4/32 ON REAR. FIRESTONE ROTATED AND BALL. TIRES @ 5,000 MI. OIL CHANGES. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK WHEN 50% MORE WEAR. TOLD SERVICE ADVISER THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE IS NO TREAD TO WEAR, AND MENTIONED WHAT FIRESTONE HAD TOLD ME. HIS COMMENT WAS THEY JUST WANTED TO SELL YOU TIRES ". TOOK MY CX-7 TO NTB TIRE SERVICE, THEY CHECKED MY TIRES, REAR @ 2/32" AND FRONT @4/32", THEY SUGGESTED I NOT DRIVE WITH THESE WORN-OUT TIRES, THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. PURCHASED A SET OF TAKE-OFF'S FOR $160.00 AND HAD NTB ALIGN AND BALL TIRES. I SENT A E-MAIL TO MAZDA CUST. SERVICE AND EXPLAINED , DEALER MEASURED 4/32" NOT 2/32".I WANTED TO MEET WITH MAZDA REP AT ANY NE OHIO DEALER, AND HAVE HIM CHECK TIRES, ETC. THEY NEVER RETURNED MY E-MAIL. FOLLOWED-UP WITH PHONE CALL TO MAZDA CUST. SERVICE, THEY WILL CHECK DEALER, ETC. MAZDA CALLED BACK AND SUGGEST I TAKE UP PROBLEM WITH DEALER, THEY WOULD NOT SET UP MEETING WITH REP, ETC. IF MAZDA SERVICE DEPT AT DEALER CAN'T MEASURE TIRE TREAD, AND BE CONCERNED WITH CUST SAFETY, I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER MAZDA VEHICLE. *TR

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON CX-7. *TR

SEVERE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION. TOOK MAZDA CX7 2007 WITH 12,800 MILES TO NTBS. THEY STATED SEVERE TIRE CUPPING (UNEVEN WEAR ON INSIDE OF ALL TIRES). TIRES EAGLE RS-A P235/55R 18 99V . TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. DID SO, THE NEXT DAY NTBS CALLED ME WITH ANOTHER CUSTOMER WITH SAME PROBLEM. SPOKE TO HIM, HAD EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. BOTH OF US CONCERNED WITH SAFETY AND PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. MAZDA ONLY AGREED TO 50% OF COST ON HIS SITUATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE HAD 20,000 MILES. MAZDA GOT BACK TO ME AND STATED THAT MAZDA REP WAS WILLING TO BUY ONE FRONT TIRE AND I BUY THE OTHER ONE. WHAT ABOUT THE BACK TIRES? IN ANY EVENT THAT?S ANOTHER ISSUE.. WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES PLACED ON THE MAZDA CX7, ( 4000 LBS VEHICLE ) WERE NOT DESIGNED TO HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD BE SERIOUS PROBLEMS DOWN THE ROAD. NO PUN INTENDED. *TR

TIRES BALDING ON VEHICLE AT 8,000 MILES. *TR

MY DAUGHTER HAS A MAZDA 2007 CX-7 AND I HAVE A 2008 CX-7. THE AIR CONDITIONING IN THESE CARS, AS WITNESSED BY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE, IS APPALLING. SHE HAD A PINHOLE IN ONE OF THE HOSES AND IT TOOK 6 DAYS TO REPAIR...FOR A HOSE?? ADDITIONALLY, HER CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR WHITE SMOKE BILLOWING OUT OF THE TAILPIPES...THEY HAVE "NO IDEA" WHAT IS CAUSING IT. *TR

TIMING VALVE REPLACED AT 34,951 MILES, THEN ENGINE REPLACED AT 41,060 MILES ON JULY 24, 2008. *TR

2007 MAZDA CX-7 WITH 15,000 MILES & GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA P235/60R18 TIRES. AFTER 11 MONTHS OF DRIVING AND 15,000 MILES ONLY 4/32 REMAIN ON TIRES. ALL TIRES HAVE EVEN WEAR. MAZDA SAYS TO CONTACT GOODYEAR & GOODYEAR SAYS TO CONTACT MAZDA. JUST GETTING THE RUN AROUND FOR INADEQUATE TIRES! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA CX-7. THE VEHICLE HAS GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES, SIZE P235/55R18 99V. THE CONTACT NOTICED WEAR ON ALL FOUR TIRES, WHICH INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED PREMATURELY. SHE SPOKE WITH OTHER MAZDA OWNERS AND THEY ALSO NOTICED THE SAME TREAD FAILURE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

THE AC ON MY 2007 MAZDA CX-7 STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY ABOUT 14 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS TO BRING IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE SO I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING IMMEDIATELY. THE NEXT DAY, WHILE DRIVING LOCALLY I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR AND THEN THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. I FORCED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE AND GOT IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST MAZDA DEALER. AFTER 2 WEEKS WITHOUT THE CAR, THEY FINALLY FIXED IT SAYING THAT THE BELT TENSIONER HAD "FROZEN UP" AND THE BELT HAD MELTED ONTO THE AC COMPRESSOR AND POWER STEERING DRIVE WHEEL. THEY HAD TO REPLACE BOTH PULLEYS AND THE BELT WITH PARTS SHIPPED IN DIRECTLY FROM JAPAN. THE CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD THIS MAJOR OF A PROBLEM WITHIN 25K MILES AND LESS THAN A YEAR AND A HALF OF DRIVING, AND I'M WONDERING WHAT OTHER DAMAGE IT MAY HAVE CAUSED THAT WILL CROP UP IN THE FUTURE. *TR

AFTER SHORT DURATION IDOL "5-10" MINUTES CAR BLEW HEAVY WHITE AND BLACK SMOKE OUT OF EXHAUST FOLLOWED WITH A CLANKING/RATTLING SOUND FROM THE REAR OF CAR. THREE TIME THIS HAPPENED IN A SHORT 4-7 MILE DRIVE HOME. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AT FIRST THE SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT UPDATED THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COMPUTER PROGRAM. THEN THEY LET THE CAR IDOL FOR SOME TIME AND IT BLEW THE SMOKE AND HEARD THE SOUND. SO THEY DECIDED AFTER CALLING AND REPORTING THE EVENT TO THE REGIONAL MANAGER TO REPLACE THE TURBO. I HAVE LOOKED ON-LINE ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND HAVE COME ACROSS OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THEIR TURBOS REPLACED A FEW TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WHEN THE PARTS ARE IN AND THEY REPLACE THE TURBO, I WILL SEE IF THIS IS A FIX. I HAVE VERY LITTLE FAITH THAT THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEMS THIS VEHICLE HAS. AND IT HAS MANY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA CX7. THE CONTACT STATED THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND SPRING TENSIONER FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THE PARTS WERE MANUFACTURER FROM PLASTIC AND BELIEVED IT TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. AS A RESULT, THE TIMING CHAIN WOULD CONTINUOUSLY FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR. THERE WAS NOT A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,000

I HAVE A 2007 MAZDA CX-7. IT IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL CAR BUT ALSO HAS TONS OF PROBLEMS. AT 15000 MILES IT WAS LEAKING OIL AND THEY REPLACE THE ENGINE GASKETS. THEN LATER WAS ALSO LEAKING OIL. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS NOT. TOOK IT TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO SAID IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE TIMING CHAIN. MAZDA RESEALED IT. SINCE THEN MY CAR DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY GOING UP AND DOWN HILLS. MY AIR CONDITIONER IS HOT AND MAKES A FUNNY SOUND. MY CAR HAS LOSS OF POWER AND SOUND LIKE A DIESEL. OVERALL I THINK THAT MAZDA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEMS OR THEY WILL NOT GET MANY RETURNING CUSTOMERS! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! IT WAS A 35000 DOLLAR CAR! *TR

VEHICLE HAS MINIMUM BRAKING EFFORT ALLOWED DURING ACTIVATION OF ANTILOCK BRAKES. BRAKING DISTANCE IS 105 FEET (MEASURED) FROM 25 MPH TO ZERO WITH ANTILOCK BRAKES APPLIED ON SNOW COVERED ROAD. VEHICLE MUST DECELERATE TO BELOW 20 MPH BEFORE ANTILOCK SYSTEM IS DEACTIVATED AND VEHICLE WILL COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE DURING LESS THAN PERFECT DRIVING CONDITIONS. *CN

ALGAE FORMS BETWEEN THE REAR TAILLIGHT CLEAR LENS AND MOULDED GRAY INNER HOUSING. BECAUSE THE 2 PIECES ARE GLUED TOGETHER A PERSON CANNOT GET TO THE ALGAE TO CLEAN IT . THE ALGAE FORMS WHERE THERE IS MISSING ADHESIVE TO BOND THE 2 PIECES TOGETHER. *TR

THE A/C COMPRESSOR ON MY 2007 MAZDA CX7 HAS LOCKED UP AND NEEDED REPLACING TWICE, ONCE AT 25K MILES AND AGAIN AT 50K MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA CX-7. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE IT FAILED TO START ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO ADVISED HIM THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE OR DUPLICATE IT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 26,000.

THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR PULLEY BEARING SEIZED BUT WAS ABLE TO TURN LONG ENOUGH TO GET TO A NEARBY RELATIVE. THE DEALER SAID THE COMPRESSOR AND BELT WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE PART WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO GET AND ESTIMATED AT LEAST A WEEK OR MORE. HE SUPPLIED A LOANER AND SAID THE CAR WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE, AS THE PULLEY COULD SEIZE COMPLETELY AT ANY TIME. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG "OFF" LIGHT ON EVEN WHEN PASSENGER ON THE FRONT SEAT. THIS INCLUDES PASSENGER OF WEIGHT >60LBS. LIGHT IS INTERMITTENT AS DRIVEN, DOES NOT SHOW UP WHEN AT DEALER. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 MAZDA CX-7 IN APRIL 2007, THE VEHICLE STARTED EXPERIENCING ENGINE PROBLEMS IN SEPTEMBER 2007, I WAS TOLD IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE VVT (VARIABLE VALVE TIMING) AND TIMING CHAIN. THE VVT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP A SHORT TIME LATER; HOWEVER, NOT THE TIMING CHAIN. AFTER THE VVT WAS REPLACED MY VEHICLE STARTING TO EXPERIENCE THICK WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPES. MY DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN ADVISED THIS WAS DUE TO A TURBO ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE. ALL OF THIS OCCURRED WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE YEARS OF MY OWNERSHIP. I HAVE HAD THE TURBO REPAIRED (OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE), AS WELL AS THE VVT (2 TIMES) AND THE TIMING CHAIN IT ALL SEEMS TO NO AVAIL. THE CAR IS REVVING VERY HIGH ON COLD START UPS AND IS NOW EXPERIENCING A CODE AS OF THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS THAT IS STATING THERE IS A DECARBONIZATION ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE THAT IS LINKED TO THE TIMING CHAIN. OF COURSE THIS IS NOW THE 5TH TIME THIS VEHICLE ENGINE WILL BE OPENED UP TO DIAGNOSE ONE OF THE KNOWN ISSUES THAT MAZDA NORTH AMERICA IS AWARE OF. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2007, AND HAS JUST OVER 120,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE MAINTAINED A VERY GOOD SERVICE HISTORY ON THE VEHICLE TAKING IT TO "RELIABLE" MAZDA DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA WHERE I LIVE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS MAZDA IS DOING NOTHING TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN WORSE. THE VEHICLE SAFETY IS IMPAIRED DUE TO UNSTABLE ENGINE PERFORMANCE. THERE IS OBVIOUS TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH THE ENGINES FOR THIS MAZDA ENGINE MODEL. *TR

MY 2007 MAZDA CX7 IS EQUIPPED WITH PASSENGER AIRBAG THAT SHUTS OFF WHEN THERE IS NO PASSENGER. MOST OF THE TIME (60% OR SO) WHEN I AM DRIVING WITH MY WIFE IN PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED. SAME WITH WHEN MY WIFE IS DRIVING AND I ON PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW MAZDA CX-7 IN JULY 2007. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON AUGUST 9TH BECAUSE OF A LOUD NOISE FROM THE REAR INTERIOR. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THE NOISE WAS FROM THE REAR MID SEAT BELT THAT RETRACTS INTO THE ROOF. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SEAT BELT HAD NOT BEEN FITTED CORRECTLY AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT AND THAT THE SEAT BELT WAS INOPERATIVE. THEY ORDERED A NEW SEAT BELT AND REPLACED THE ORIGINAL BELT. BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE REAR SEAT ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE SEAT BELT WORKED AND MY CHILD WAS SAFE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE ASSEMBLY PLANT CAN FIT A SEAT BELT THAT IS INOPERATIVE ONCE AND IT PASSES ALL THE PLANT QUALITY CHECKS, THEY CAN DO IT MANY MORE TIMES. HOW MANY MAZDA VEHICLES HAVE BEEN FITTED WITH REAR SEAT BELTS THAT ARE INOPERATIVE? *JB

7/17 I BROUGHT MY MAZDA CX-7 (2007) TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR DUE TO AIR CONDITIONING NOT WORKING AND MAKING A LOUD NOISE COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE AND A BAD ODOR. HERE IS A LIST OF PROBLEMS FOUND WITH THE CAR: 1. BAD COMPRESSOR COST TO REPAIR $1100 2. FRONT TRANSFER STEERING CASE SEAL LEAKING COST TO REPAIR $1500 3. MOTOR OIL SEAL LEAK COST TO REPAIR $875 4. OXYGEN SENSOR MELTED TO THE CHASSIS COST OF REPAIR $240 5. WATER PUMP LEAK COST OF REPAIR $275 THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIR IS $3,935 BEFORE TAXES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A 2 YEAR OLD CAR. *TR

MAZDA CX7 (FWD) EXHIBITS ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR(CUPPING,FEATHERING) ON ALL (4) TIRES AFTER LESS THAN 1000 MILES. BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE PURCHASING DEALER WHO RE-BALANCED AND REALIGNED. TIRES CONTINUED TO EXHIBIT THE SAME WEAR AFTER 2000 MILES AND RIDE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HAD SOME VIBRATION AND ROUGH FEEL AT LOWER SPEEDS. DEALER ONCE AGAIN REALIGNED VEHICLE AND INCREASED THE PSI ON ALL 4 TIRES TO 36PSI. AT JUST OVER 5000 MILES VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO DEALER AGAIN, STILL CONTINUING TO SHOW ABNORMAL WEAR AND POOR RIDE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (VIBRATION & ROUGH). DEALER REALIGNED AND RE-BALANCED ALL WHEELS AND ONCE AGAIN INCREASED TIRE INFLATION TO 36PSI. I LATER CONTACTED THE SERVICE MGR AND TOLD HIM THAT I DID NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT HE INCREASED THE TIRE PRESSURE OVER THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED SETTINGS AND THAT THIS WOULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO WEAR DOWN THE CENTER QUICKLY. *JB

NEW VEHICLE WITH BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL42 TIRES. THE CAR REPORTED LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE (MAZDA CX-7) TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM MY HOME. 5 MINUTES AFTER I ENTERED THE FREEWAY, THE TIRE ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE HAD A BLOW OUT. THE TIRES ONLY HAD 3,000 MILES ON THEM. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED UPON ACCELERATION, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. IT WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE CONTROL MODULE COMPUTER IN THE POWER TRAIN NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS A 2007 MAZDA CX-7. *AK UPDATED 10/31/2006 - RIGHT FRONT WINDOW FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT SWITCH. *NM
