2007 Mazda CX-7 Complaint Log

"TAKATA RECALL" THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS AND OTHER MAZDA CAR MODELS HAS GONE ON TOO LONG. AFTER RECEIVING NOTIFICATION IN JULY OF THIS YEAR, I WENT ONLINE AND DISCOVERED AIR BAG COMPLAINTS DATING BACK TO 2008!. THE FACT THAT MAZDA IGNORED THESE COMPLAINTS, WAITING MORE THAN EIGHT YEARS TO CONDUCT A MASSIVE AIR BAG RECALL IS UNTENABLE. THE ANXIETY PRODUCED BY DRIVING WITH FRONT-SEAT PASSENGERS IS A SERIOUS DISTRACTION FOR ANYONE WHO OWNS ONE OF THESE VEHICLES; FOLLOWING THE MANUFACTURER'S ADVICE TO DISALLOW FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS HAS BECOME AN INCONVENIENCE. FOR MANY DRIVERS, LOSS OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT AN OPTION ; THIS HAS GONE ON FOR TOO LONG WITHOUT NOTICE OF RESOLUTION BY MAZDA. I AM DEMANDING THAT MAZDA BEGIN REPLACING PASSENGER AIR BAGS IMMEDIATELY.

TAKATA RECALL- I'M IN ZONE B OF THE RECALL (WAS FIRST NOTIFIED IN JULY 2016). MY 2007 CAR IS NOW IN THE 10-15 YEAR WINDOW WHERE DEGRADATION IS PROJECTED TO OCCUR, SO I AM HESITANT TO DRIVE IT ANY LONGER SINCE I FREQUENT TRANSPORT MULTIPLE PASSENGERS. HOW DO I KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER THIS WILL TAKE? I HAVE TRIED TO CALL MAZDA'S HOTLINE, BUT THE WAIT TIME IS ALWAYS 45+ MINUTES. THERE HAVE BEEN NO UPDATES TO THE INFORMATION SINCE THE RECALL ON MAZDA'S RECALL INFO WEBSITE.

I TOOK THE CAR IN THE HAVE THE AC COMPRESSOR REPLACED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. JUNE 9 I LOST ALL COLD AIR AND DONE ACCELERATION. I THOUGHT THE TWO WERE RELATED BUT WE'RE NOT. MY CAR WOULD SOMETIMES DRIVE AS NORMAL AND OTHER TIMES UNEXPECTEDLY SLOW DOWN TO 25 MPH IN A 60 MPH ZONE AND I COULDN'T SPEED UP. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC. HE SAID THE TURBO WAS GOING OUT. THEN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THEN THE GASKET. IT'S HAD MULTIPLE OIL LEAKS. THIS CAR IS COSTING ME MORE THAN ITS WORTH.

HI, WE BOUGHT MAZDA CX-7 GRAND TOURING [VIN# LAST 8 DIGITS: [XXX] USED CAR DURING OCT 2014 IN FREMONT. THE CAR HAD AROUND 84K MILES. WE SPENT AROUND $13K THINKING GOOD FIT FOR KIDS SCHOOL DROP IN SHORT DISTANCE. HARDLY USED < 9K MILES IN 2 YEARS. TIMELY SERVICE HAS BEEN DONE. HOWEVER, RECENTLY SEEING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH CODE P0303 [ENGINE-3] MISSFIRES. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, PERFORM FLUID SYSTEM CLEANING, REPLACE THROTTLE BODY SPENDING CLOSE TO $1500+. CHECK ENGINE STILL STAYS ON EVEN AFTER THIS'. NOW FREMONT MAZDA DEALER RECOMMENDING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE [WHICH COSTS AROUND $9K]. LATER DID SOME STUDY ON WEB AND LEARNT THAT MAZDA CX-7 IS VERY WELL KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUES AND THAT IS THE REASON MAZDA HAS DISCONTINUED THE CX-7 MODEL KNOWING INTERNAL TURBO RELATED ISSUES. CUSTOMERS BUY CARS BASED ON SEARCH AND RELIABILITY CONSIDERING LONG TERM USAGE [LIKE OTHER CARS WHICH RUNS MORE THAN 150K MILES] AND NOT EXPECTED THIS. IT'S PAIN TO SEE NOT HARDLY USED 10K+ MILES EVEN AFTER SPENDING $15K. MAZDA SHOULD ACCEPT THEIR ENGINE DESIGN ISSUE AND DO SOME CREDIT TO LOST COSTUMER. TO KEEP THIS CUSTOMER [ME] WITH MAZDA, MAZDA SHOULD REFUND THE TOTAL CUSTOMER EXPENSES AND ALLOW HIM TO BY NEW MAZDA LATEST VERSION BY PAYING DIFFERENCE AMOUNT.

MY DAUGHTER WITH HER NEWBORN INFANT HAD THE VECHILE STALL ON THEM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE CAR HAS 60,000.00 MILES AND IS METICULOUS MAINTAINED. WE BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE AT A COST 9,000.00. I OPENED A CASE WITH MAZDA CORPORATE CASE #1-290023-832 AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS AN 9 YEAR VECHILE AND THEY CAN ONLY OFFER AN EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT ON A NEW CAR OR 1,5000. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A MANUFACTURER DEFECTIVE. MY DAUGHTER AND HER CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. PLEASE ASSIST.

TAKATA RECALL - I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR FOR THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE TAKATA AIRBAG BUT THEY TELL ME THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND I'VE RECEIVED MANY MANY NOTIFICATIONS BY REGULAR MAIL ABOUT THIS. THE DEALER IS FLAGSHIP MAZDA IN SAN JUAN PUERTO RICO. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN IMPORTANT REPLACEMENT AND THAT PEOPLE HAD DIED FROM THIS ISSUE. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT I'VE CALLED THREE TIMES IN ONE YEAR AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER PHONE NUMBER IS (787)620-7546, (787)620-6981 FLAGSHIP MAZDA IN SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO. (I STILL HAVE NO INCIDENT AT THE MOMENT).

WHILE DRIVING THE WHEEL AND STEERING BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. THE CAR WAS ONLY STOPPED BY A WALL ON THE HIGHWAY. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND HAD A HEART ATTACK DURING THIS INCIDENT WITH THE CAR. THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS DEPLOYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA CX-7. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, A HOSE FAILED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

I PURCHASED A 2007 MAZDA CX-7, 3 YEARS AGO. I HAVE TAKEN PRISTINE CARE OF MY VEHICLE AS I HAVE ALWAYS. I AM A FAN OF MAZDA AND HAVE OWNED OTHERS IN MY LIFETIME. HOWEVER, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN MAZDA CX-7. I HAVE ALWAYS PUT PREMIUM GAS IN MY VEHICLE, REGULAR OIL CHANGES, AND HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT A MAZDA DEALERSHIP TO MAKE SURE IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF PROPERLY. NONETHELESS, LAST WEEK I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHY? BECAUSE OF THE CONSISTENT PROBLEMS I SEEM TO FIND ONLINE. MY TURBO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AMONG OTHER THINGS THAT COINCIDE WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND SEE THAT MAZDA ONLY POINTS FINGERS BACK TO THE CONSUMER. BUT I AM GOING TO POINT MY FINGER AT THE POOR DESIGN. MUST BE WHY MAZDA NO LONGER MAKE THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THIS IS MAZDA'S ISSUE NOT MINE. THE CAR CANNOT BE TOTALED OUT BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY BECAUSE IT IS 'A MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN'. I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE AND THE COST TO REPAIR IS WELL OVER THE BLUE BOOK VALUE OF THE CAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. MAZDA JUST KEEPS POINTING THE FINGERS BACK AT US, EVEN IF THE CAR WAS TAKEN CARE OF?!?! IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR MAZDA CX-7 AND MAZDA CX 9 TO HAVE TURBOCHARGER AND ENGINE PROBLEMS, I DO NOT SEE WHY THE REPAIRS ARE PUT BACK ON US.

IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATING ON THE DASH AND ALSO THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY LIGHT NOT ILLUMINATING AT ALL. I THEN HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND IT IS THE THERMOSTAT THAT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE TECH AT THE AUTO SHOP SAID THAT THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON WITH MAZDA CX-7. IF THAT IS THE CASE, WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED? I HAVE READ THROUGH HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES ONLINE STATING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND THE THERMOSTAT.

I HAVE A 2007 MAZDA CX7 I'VE SEEN ALOT OF RECALLS BUT ONE COMPLAINT I AM CONSTANTLY SEEING IS THE TURBO FAILURE AND LEAKING AN INDECENT AMOUNT OF OIL CAUSING AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. I AM IN A SITUATION NOW WHERE MY TURBO IS LEAKING ALOT OF OIL AND ALOT OF CX7 OWNER ARE GETTING GOOD THEIR TURBOS REPLACED MORE THAN THREE TIMES. I VERY LOOKED INTO TEARS PROBLEM AND APPARENTLY MAZDA HAS CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION THAT HAS REROUTED THE AIR PRESSURE TO THE TURBO BY SUPPLYING A VENTILATION KIT THAT COSTS $2,226 JUST FOR PARTS THAT'S INCLUDING THE TURBO AND $826 FOR LABOR..I FEEL THAT IF THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM THEY SHOULD TELL CONSUMERS ABOUT IT IF YOUR DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOOSES POWER IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT...AND I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE TURBO IS A VERY POOR DESIGN. *TR

TIMING CHAIN CAUSED BENT VALVES AND HEAD NEEDED TO BE FIXED. STUPID DESIGNED ENGINE. MAZDA WON'T RECALL HUNDREDS OF CARS AFFECTED BY THIS. NEVER BUYING A MAZDA AGAIN.

WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND TURNING OUT OF A BUSINESS AND INTO TRAFFIC THE RIGHT, FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM SEPARATED FROM THE BALL JOINT CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR CX9'S AND I AM UNSURE WHY THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED IN THE CX7.

DECEMBER 2015 I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP (AAA SERVICE SAID TO DO SO BECAUSE OF THE NOISE AND FEAR THE VVT WOULD BREAK WHILE IN MOTION) TO REPLACE THE VVT (TIMING CHAIN) AND VALVE COVER GASKETS - PAYING OUT OF POCKET. AS OF TODAY, 2/12/16, THE SAME NOISE, BUT LOUDER, STILL OCCURS WHEN I START THE CAR AND DRIVE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND WAS ON WHEN I TOOK IT IN. NO MENTION OF WAS MADE. ALSO, WHEN I RECEIVED MY RECEIPT, THEY HAD THE MILEAGE WRONG BY 20,000 MILES (POTENTIALLY AFFECTING CARFAX REPORTS) , AND INDICATED ON THE SHEET THAT OTHER AREAS SUCH AS LIGHTS WERE FINE AND THEY WERE NOT. THEY DID MENTION THAT MY TURBO MAY NEED REPLACING SOON (ANOTHER CONSISTENT COMPLAINT). THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED IN NJ REGARDING THIS AND IT WAS THROWN OUT. WHY ISN'T THE GOVERNMENT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT ALL OF THESE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS? WHERE DO I GO SINCE I JUST DON'T TRUST MAZDA DEALERSHIPS?

CAR POPPED AND THEN SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE HOOD AND CAUGHT ON FIRE BURNT CAR UP.

I HAVE A 2007 MAZDA CX-7, MY VEHICLE HAS 71,000 MILES I HAVE NOTICED A RIDDLING NOISE FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I VISIT THREE MECHANICS AND ALL THREE MECHANICS ARE TELLING ME IT'S THE VVT TIMING CHAIN. THE COST THE REPAIR MY VEHICLE IS $3,000 TO $4,000 DOLLARS. I CONTACT THE MAZDA DEALER AND BECAUSE I HAVE NO WARRANTY I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. SO I BEGIN TO DO MY RESEARCH ONLINE. I REALIZED THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER MAZDA CX-7 OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS I. WHAT A COINCIDENCE MAZDA HAS DISCONTINUED MANUFACTURING THE MAZDA CX-7. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE AND MAZDA NEEDS TO OWN UP FOR IT. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR VEHICLES DUE TO THIS VVT TIMING CHAIN ISSUE AND MAZDA NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A RE-CALL. I KNOW ONE THING I HOPE AND PRAY NOTHING HAPPENS TO ME WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I WILL NOT HESITATE TO FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE MAZDA CORP. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ALL OF US WHO ARE CURRENT OWNERS OF MAZDA CX-7. I WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE WORD OF THIS HORRIFIC ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE MODEL.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACETHE AC COMPRESSOR PUMP THIS WILL BE THE THIRD ONE. I CANT AFFORD $700.00 DOLLARS PER PUMP AND IT ONLU LAST FOR 8 MONTHS. I SEEN ALL THE COMPLAINT PEOPLE HAVE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. WHEN IS MAZDA GOING TO STEP UP AND HELP US RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEVER BUY OR RECOMMEND A MAZDA TO ANYONE. BETWEEN THAT AND THE TURBO THEY ARE JUNK AND NOT DEPEDABLE AT ALL.

WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO, THE VEHICLE A/C COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP CAUSING THE SERPENTINE BELT TO MELT AND BREAK. THIS RESULTED IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND MADE CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT, IF NOT DANGEROUS. BASED ON OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON 2007-08 MAZDA CX-7 VEHICLES AND SO ABSOLUTELY BE A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA CX-7. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MAZDA IS AWARE THAT THE CX-7 IS A HORRIBLY MADE CAR WHICH CAN BE NOTED WITH THE EXTENSIVE LIST OF RECALLS WHICH THE COMPANY HAS PUT OUT SINCE ITS CREATION. ENGINE FAILURE BEING THE BIGGEST CONCERN TO THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. ENGINE FAILURE AT 70MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY CAN RESULT IN DEATH. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO HAVE MAZDA COMPENSATE ALL OWNERS FOR DEFECTICE VEHICLES. MY ENGINE FAILED AND MAZDA WAS OF NO HELP.

WHILE TURNING ONTO A MAIN ROAD EXISTING A PARKING LOT, I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD POP AND COULD NO LONGER STEER MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE SLOWED TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I CAREFULLY EXITED THE VEHICLE TO FIND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL SIDEWAYS. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE MY VEHICLE FROM THE ROAD AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL MAZDA DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THE BALL JOINT HAD SEPARATED FROM THE LOWER CONTROL ARM CAUSING $1,300 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO REPAIR THE AXLE SHAFT, LOWER CONTROL ARM, TIE ROD, SWAY BAR AND ALIGNMENT. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THE FRONT PASSENGER LOWER CONTROL ARM AND BALL JOINT WERE ALSO LOOSE AND IT WAS RECOMMEND THEY BE REPLACED, COSTING ME AN ADDITIONAL $500 IN REPAIRS. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM DEFECT I EXPERIENCED ON MY CX-7 IS THE SAME DEFECT AS THE MAZDA CX-9 RECALL (8515G). MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN MICHIGAN AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN ON MICHIGAN ROADS FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS. I BELIEVE THAT DRIVING ON MICHIGAN ROADWAYS DURING THE WINTER MONTHS FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS HAS LEAD TO ROADWAY SALTS AND WATER INTRUSION INTO THE BALL JOINT, CAUSING CORROSION, WHICH RESULTED IN LOOSENESS OF BOTH FRONT BALL JOINTS. AS A RESULT OF THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BALL JOINT AND LOWER CONTROL ARM SEPARATING, MY VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AND CAUSED A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A CAR THAT IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD. HAD THE CURRENT CX-9 LOWER CONTROL ARM RECALL APPLIED TO THE CX-7, MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED PRIOR TO BREAKING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I BELIEVE THIS DEFECT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS IT POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK TO ALL OTHER CX-7 VEHICLES ON THE ROADWAY. IT IS MY RECOMMENDATION TO EXTEND THE CURRENT CX-9 RECALL TO ALL CX-7 VEHICLES.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY. I PUT OF THE VEHICLE ON A FEW TIMES HOPING THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF, BUT IT NEVER DID. FOR THREE DAYS NOW THE AIR BAG LIGHT OF THE DRIVER SIDE HAS REMAINED ALIGHT. EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND THE ENGINE IS TURNED ON, THE AIR BAG COMES ON IMMEDIATELY.
