AIR BAGS

The contact owns a 2010 Mazda CX-7. The contact stated that while her son was driving approximately 35 MPH, the driver's side and passenger’s side air bags independently deployed. There was no accident to cause the air bags to deploy. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was driven back to the residence. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,125.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVEN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT AM VERY WORRIED THAT IF I DO THE AIR BAG MAY EXPLODE. SINCE MY VEHICLE IS A 2010, HOW LONG DOES MAZDA HAVE TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE?

Jan 31, 2018

TAKATA RECALL WAS DENIED REPLACEMENT AFTER DROPPING CAR OFF AT DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. CAR HAS 85,000 MILES. I WAS CALLED BACK FROM DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT TELLING ME THAT THEY CANNOT PERFORM 1317F OR 9516E, AIR BAG REPLACEMENT DUE TO MY AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON. AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN DROPPING VEHICLE OFF AND NOT ON WHEN PICKING UP VEHICLE. I NOTIFIED SERVICE ADVISER THAT THERE WAS NO AIRBAG LIGHT ON BEFORE DRIVING AWAY BUT HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO SAYING THAT THE REFUSAL CAME FROM CORPORATE. NOW IF MY FAMILY WERE TO GET INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG AFTER REFUSAL BY THE DEALER, I COULD HAVE A STRONG CASE AGAINST THEM I THINK. BUT I WOULD RATHER HAVE A SAFE CAR. SERVICE HAD OFFERED DOING AN AIRBAG DIAGNOSTIC AT A CHARGE OF $140.00. NOT KNOWING WHAT THE OTHER CHARGES MIGHT BE TO FIX LIGHT ($1000 COMPUTER) AND NOT KNOWING HOW ACCURATE THE DIAGNOSTIC WILL BE I WAS FORCED TO DENY THE DIAGNOSTICS.

Recently got this car and am fixing it up. Vehicle's headlights function but are dysfunctional. Night driving is impossible as per nearly nonexistent illumination of roadway. Don't know how to fix/upgrade. Wanted to give this vehicle to my Florida student but now hesitate as Florida's roadways are not illuminated. Have seen many posts relative hereto, even when the vehicle was new. A manufacturer's recall should issue for new improved headlights. Please advise on a fix for this essential vehicular safety function .

Jan 20, 2023

Headlight to nowhere just started having horrible visibility it’s like if lights were off I change the bulbs several times LEDs H IDs factory bulbs still results no good

Aug 18, 2022

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DANGEROUS, IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE DOWN THE ROAD USING THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT. *TR

May 12, 2020

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM NO MATTER WHICH BULBS I PUT IN. I REALLY NEED TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE DRIVING AT NIGHT IS A DANGER. I'VE READ MANY MAZDA CX-7 OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE.

Mar 03, 2020

I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY MAZDA CX7 2010 OR SHOULD I SAY LACK OF HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE PUT 8 LIGHT BULBS IN THIS CAR AND THEY WERE THE EXPENSIVE ONES. THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF CRAP ALL THE WAY AROUND BUT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE REALLY BAD! ALSO THEY ARE SO CLOUDED OVER. I HAVE A HARD TIME DRIVING AT NIGHT AND NOW I JUST CAN'T BECAUSE I AM NOT GOING TO GET STOPPED AGAIN FOR HAVING A HEADLIGHT OUT! I ONLY DRIVE DURING THE DAY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, WHEN I SEE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME THING. THIS IS SUCH A STRESS ER FOR ME. I WISH THERE WAS SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT COULD HELP US IN THIS SITUATION.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA CX-7. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V018000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER MORE THAN TWICE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT PROVIDED THE PART FOR THE REPAIR.

1) WE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL WHEN WE PURCHASED THE USED VEHICLE ON 7/8/2017. THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE SAFETY RISK ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL IS THE VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR PAST YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CAN MAKE IT TURN OFF BUT I'M ASSUMING SINCE THE LIGHT IS ON MY AIRBAG IS DISABLED AND WON'T WORK WHEN AND IF IT NEEDS TO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA CX-7. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER IN-LAWS WERE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUTOFF. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT OIL LEAKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND A HOLE WAS PRESENT ON THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. MURRAY MAZDA LOCATED AT 85 GRIFFITH RD, MUNCY, PA 17756 WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

Sep 17, 2020

I STARTED GETTING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE FOR LAST 6 MONTHS. BUT WHEN THE RPM IS GREATER THAN 2000. THE NOISE DECREASES, WHEN I TOOK TO THE DEALER SERVICE, THEY MENTIONED THAT TIMING CHAIN NEED TO BE REPLACED. MAZDA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND ADMITS IT BUT NEVER PERFORMS A RECALL.

Oct 24, 2019

TOOK CAR IN FOR AIR BAG RECALL (WHICH WAS FIXED). DEALER DID A FULL CIRCLE INSPECTION AND FOUND THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED REPLACEMENT. WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MAZDA JANUARY, 2012 STATING THEY WERE EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 7 YRS FROM THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY DATE OR 70,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST FOR REPAIRS TO THE TIMING CHAIN. THIS LETTER LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY KNEW THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. OUR CAR HAS 39,100 MILES (OBVIOUSLY LOW FOR THE AGE OF THE CAR). WE WERE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE IT WAS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD. IT SEEMS VERY UNFAIR THAT OUR CAR WAS NOT COVERED FOR AN ISSUE MAZDA WAS CLEARLY AWARE OF IN 2012. WHILE IT WAS NOT AN ACTUAL RECALL, SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TIMING CHAIN AND ALL OWNERS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR FAILURE OF THE CHAIN. I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO A CAR IF THE CHAIN BREAKS, BUT MY BEST GUESS IS IT WILL STOP RUNNING, WHICH IS A HUGE CONCERN REGARDING SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA CX-7. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASED. THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND A POPPING NOISE WAS HEARD.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ANTELOPE VALLEY MAZDA (1015 AUTO MALL DR, LANCASTER, CA 93534, (661) 945-7590) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR COST. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE MANUFACTURER INFORMING HER THAT THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000. *TT *JS

Low beam headlamps are extremely dim. Have bought new replacement headlamps and are still very dim. Bought both replacement headlamp housings thinking wiring could be compromised but that didn't help either. Replacing headlamps is difficult due to having to remove either the front tires OR the front entire bumper assembly to switch out lamps. No fog lights are present on this model so makes driving at night very difficult. and unsafe.

May 01, 2024

I NOTICED TAILIGHTS LOOKED FUNNY, SO I REMOVED THEM TO INSPECT THEM. TO MY SURPRISE THERE WERE MELTED HOLES IN THE TAILLIGHT, AND BURN/CHARRED MARKS ON 2 OF THE LIGHT RECEPTACLES. ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH FRONT HEAD LIGHT BURNING OUT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL, EVERY OWNER I HAVE SPOKE WITH HAS SAME PROBLEM.

Jul 22, 2017

THE BULBS MELTED BOTH BACK TAIL LIGHT LAMPS. A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FROM DEFECTIVE PARTS. WHICH SHOULD BE REPLACE AND REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

2010 MAZDA CX7. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS PROBLEM. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, HE AND HIS WIFE HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS EIGHT TIMES. ON DECEMBER 12, 2011 THE DRIVER SIDE HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT. THEN ON MARCH 8, 2012 THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER IT WAS VERY COMMON AND HEADLIGHTS COULD GO OUT AT ANY TIME. ANOTHER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN ON OCTOBER 30, 2012. THE SAME BULB WENT OUT ON NOVEMBER 10, 2012. THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THE BULB WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. ON JANUARY 7, 2013 THE OPPOSITE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. ON JUNE 10, 2013, THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. ON OCTOBER 1, 2013 THE SAME THING HAPPENED. ON JUNE 12, 214, THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. THE DEALER CONTINUED TO SAY, THERE WAS NO DEFECT. *JB

Jul 30, 2014

I PURCHASED THE 2010 MAZDA CX7 VEHICLE ABOUT NINE MONTHS AGO. I FREQUENTLY DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE UNDER MANY CONDITIONS. THE DASH LIGHTS ARE INADEQUATE AND MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE TRAVELING DAY OR NIGHT. I AM AFRAID I WILL BE TICKETED FOR TRAVELING TOO SLOW OR TOO FAST WHEN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS SO POORLY LIGHTED. I HAVE LOOKED AT OTHER 2010 AND 2011 MODELS, AND THEY ARE ALL THE SAME, POORLY LIGHTED. I RECENTLY SPOKE TO SOMEONE WITH ANOTHER MODEL WHO HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT. I FEEL THAT IT IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME.

POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING BETWEEN POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND POWER STEERING PUMP.

Mar 12, 2021

MAZDA SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE IN AUGUST OF 2016. THE RECALL STATED THAT WATER COULD POSSIBLY ENTER THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER ARM BALL JOINT DURING DRIVING. AS A RESULT OF THE LOOSENESS, A RATTLE MAY OCCUR AT BALL JOINT LOWER CONTROL ARM. AFTER EXTENDED OPERATION IN SUCH A CIRCUMSTANCE, IT COULD SEPARATE AND GETTING INTO A CRASH COULD BECOME EASIER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY, AS I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER A YEAR FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE FIXED.

Aug 20, 2017

BACK IN DECEMBER 2013; I TOOK MY MAZDA TO ITS SHEEHY DEALER TO GET MY USUAL OIL CHANGES, ETC. IT WAS REFERRED BY THE DEALER THAT I HAVE MY STEERING FLUID DRAINED AND REPLACED. I PAID FOR THIS WORK TO BE DONE; HOWEVER, PROBLEMS BEGAN TO OCCUR WITH MY POWER STEERING SOMETIME AROUND APRIL 2014 IN WHICH MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD GET SO TIGHT WHILE DRIVING THAT I COULD BARELY TURN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER IN WHICH THEY NOW STATE THAT I HAVE A BAD POWER STEERING PUMP WHICH DISALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO PERFORM ITS NORMAL STEERING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN WHICH MAZDA ONLY RECOGNIZES THIS ISSUE WITH ITS MAZDA 3 VEHICLES, ETC. HOWEVER, THE ISSUE OF FAILED POWER STEERING PUMPS ON ITS MAZDA VEHICLES SUCH AS THE MAZDA 3, 6, CX-7, AND CX-9 FROM YEAR 2010 TO PRESENT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE I HAVE MET OTHERS WHO ARE NOW DEALING WITH THIS SAME ISSUE WHICH CAN BREACH THE SAFETY OF THE OWNER OF THAT VEHICLE, OTHER VEHICLES, AND PEDESTRIANS IN AND AROUND THE TRAVELING AREA. MAZDA FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM IN WHICH I AM LOOKING TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, TAKING A LEFT TURN, WHEN MY CAR JOLTED TO A STOP IN THE INTERSECTION. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE MY CAR OUT OF THE INTERSECTION, BECAUSE THE WHEEL WASN'T ATTACHED PROPERLY ANYMORE. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK, AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP. AT THE AUTO SHOP THEY DISCOVERED THAT A PREVIOUSLY RECALLED PART (LOWER CONTROL ARM) HAD FAILED, WHICH IS WHAT CAUSED ALL OF THE DAMAGE. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS RECALL. I CALLED THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TO ASK FOR ADVICE. I WAS ADVISED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT MY LOCAL AUTO SHOP, AND THEN TO SEND THE INVOICE TO MAZDA TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE RECALLED PART/LABOR. I SENT THE INVOICE TO MAZDA, AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT UNTIL THE RECALL WAS CLOSED, AND IN ORDER TO DO THIS I NEEDED TO HAVE EVERYTHING CHECKED OFF/RECALL CLOSED BY A MAZDA DEALERSHIP. I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM, THEY DID THE INSPECTION, AND CLOSED THE RECALL. THEN I SENT THE INVOICE AND THE DOCUMENTS STATING THE RECALL HAD BEEN CLOSED, BUT MAZDA STILL DENIED MY REQUEST SAYING THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE HAD THE REPAIRS DONE AT A MAZDA DEALERSHIP. I AM REQUESTING TO STILL BE REIMBURSED FOR THE LOWER CONTROL ARM (AT LEAST THE COST OF THE PART), SINCE I FOLLOWED THE ADVICE I WAS GIVEN FROM BOTH THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND MAZDA.

ON 4/21/2016 AROUND 1:15PM, I WAS HEADING EAST ON I-694 AT ABOUT 65 MPH. SUDDENLY, THE TIRE LOW PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT UP ON THE DASHBOARD WITH THREE WARNING CHIMES. I TRAVELLED FOR ANOTHER 5-6 MILES AND THE TIRE NOISE BECAME MUCH MORE NOTICEABLE IN THE BACK. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE OF THE 3 LANE INTERSTATE AND TWO MORE LANES ON THE RIGHT TO EXIT MN HIGHWAY 252. WITH NO EASY ACCESS TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND HEAVY TRAFFIC, I PULLED OFF ONTO THE LEFT SHOULDER, PUT ON THE EMERGENCY HAZARD FLASHERS. UPON EXITING THE CAR, I NOTICED MY LEFT REAR TIRE HAS BLOWN OUT, WITH A ONE FOOT GASH ON ITS SIDEWALL, TOTALLY FLAT, SMOKE CAME OFF FROM THE INSIDE, AND THE TPMS WAS MISSING FROM THE WHEEL OPENING. WAITED FOR 45 MINUTES FOR AAA TO ARRIVE AND PUT ON THE EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE. SUBSEQUENTLY, LIMBED MY WAY FOR 2 MORE MILES TO EXIT AT HWY 65 AND TOOK LOCAL STREETS HOME. THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE TIRE BLOWOUT AS A TPMS HEX NUT FAILURE DUE TO CORROSION. ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THE FRONT LEFT TPMS HEX NUT HAS SPLIT IN HALVES DUE TO CORROSION AS WELL. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A REAL TRAGIC ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR EVEN FATALITIES. SUDDEN FAILURES OF TPMS UNITS, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEED DRIVING, ARE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISKS THAT SHOULD BE REMEDIED THROUGH RECALLS AND AWARENESS TRAINING TO THE PUBLIC.

Apr 22, 2016

IN MARCH 2016, TWO OF THE NUTS SECURING THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS CRACKED. ONE SENSOR LOOSENED CAUSING THE TIRE TO LOSE AIR AND GO COMPLETELY FLAT. UPON INSPECTION OF THE REMAINING THREE SENSORS, MECHANICS FOUND ANOTHER CRACKED NUT ON A PRESSURE SENSOR. IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO REPLACE THE NUT. CORROSION ON THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS CORRODED TO MUCH TO ALLOW NUTS TO BE REPLACED. IN THE END, TWO TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR CORROSION ON THE EXPOSED THREADS AND CORRODED/CRACKED NUTS.

I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY CAN'T GET THE PART OR DON'T WANT TO THEY TOLD ME THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THE BRAKES POPPING AND NOW THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT AT ALL. MAZDA CORPORATE DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THEY CARE EITHER. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. MY VEHICLE IS MAKING POPPING NOISES IN THE FRONT END AND THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX IT. THEY WANT TO PAWN IT OFF ON ANOTHER PART OF THE VEHICLE.

SUNROOF SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH AT 9:30AM WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CRASH ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW MANY PIECES OF GLASS FLYING BEHIND ME. THANKFULLY, I HAD THE SHADE DRAWN CLOSED, OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN A SHOWER OF GLASS. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER AND DID NOT FIND ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS OR ROCKS (AND SAW NO ROCKS BOUNCING IN THE STREET PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT). THE INSURANCE COMPANY ASKED ME WHAT HAPPENED, BUT I HAD NO EXPLANATION. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SUNROOF JUST EXPLODED.

THE TURBOCHARGER ON THIS NEW VEHICLE FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE UNSAFE AND INOPERABLE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO LEAVE IN OUR ATTACHED GARAGE OVERNIGHT BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF FIRE. IT APPEARS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY, AND REPEATED, PROBLEMS WITH THE TURBOCHARGER IN THESE VEHICLES. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL.

AFTER I HAVE COME TO A STOP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TCS/DSC INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATE. MY CAR REMAINS ON BUT WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS THROTTLE MY CAR DOES NOT GO ANYWHERE. I HAVE TO TURN OFF MY CAR FOR A MINUTE OR SO AND THEN RESTART BEFORE I CAN DRIVE. THIS HAD HAPPEN 4 TIMES NOW (IN A 2 MONTH TIME FRAME). IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT AND DO NOT HAVE A WAY TO GET OFF OF THE ROAD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A DAY OR SO AND THEN GOES AWAY. THEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED AND HAD TO PULL OFF QUICKLY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!

WHEN DRIVING WITH THE A/C ON, THE ECM SEEMS TO MALFUNCTION AND INCREASE THE SPEED OF THE CAR WHEN THE AC COMPRESSOR TURNS ON. IF YOU ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BRAKING, THE CAR WILL NOT STOP AND IT WILL REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO PRESS HARDER ON THE BRAKES. THE CAR GETS AND EXTRA BOOST OF ENERGY AND EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE BRAKING, THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD AND CONTINUES TO ROLL FURTHER. IF THE DRIVER IS CAUGHT OFF GUARD, THIS WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I CRASHED MY CAR INTO A FAMILY MEMBERS HOUSE AS I WAS PARKING. LUCKILY, THE PARKING BUMPER SLOWED DOWN THE CAR ENOUGH SO AS TO ONLY SLIGHTLY BUMP THE HOUSE. IT HAS HAPPENED IN REGULAR TRAFFIC AS WELL. LUCKILY, I KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE FROM CARS AND BRAKE EARLY BUT NOW I BRAKE EVEN EARLIER JUST IN CASE. VOLKSWAGEN HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY DID A LARGE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE IT INVOLVES. IF YOU OWN A CX-7 KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE A/C IS ON. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TIMING IS JUST RIGHT THAT YOU ARE BRAKING AND THE COMPRESSOR TURNS ON A THAT PRECISE MOMENT SO IT WILL CATCH YOU OFF GUARD AND SCARE THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF YOU. I'VE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR BUT THIS COULD DEFINITELY CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE IF NOT RECALLED IN ORDER TO FIX. HERE IS THE INFO FROM A RECALL FROM VOLKSWAGEN. VOLKSWAGEN IS RECALLING APPROXIMATELY 4,000 OF ITS CARS. THE AUTOMAKER WILL FIX ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE THAT CAN TRIGGER AN UNEXPECTED INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM, ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. "THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE CONTAINING SOFTWARE THAT MAY NOT PROPERLY CONTROL ENGINE IDLE WITH THE AIR-CONDITIONING TURNED ON," NHTSA SAID IN ITS SUMMARY OF THE PROBLEM. "IN RARE CASES, THE ECM MAY UNEXPECTEDLY INCREASE ENGINE RPM. AN ENGINE SURGE CAUSED BY AN UNEXPECTED INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM MAY SURPRISE THE VEHICLE OPERATOR AND CAN RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." *TR

2010 CX7 GRAND TOURING WAS PURCHASED WITH 5,844 MILES FROM DEALER. WE CHANGED THE OIL & FILTER EVERY 6,000 MILES USING RECOMMENDED OIL AS SHOWN IN THE OWNERS MANUAL (5W20). MANUAL RECOMMENDATION IS TO CHANGE OIL EVERY 7,500 MILES WITH NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS WHICH IS THE CASE AS MY WIFE DROVE TO AND FROM WORK. AT 37,000 MILES, VEHICLE WAS STARTED IN 20DEG F. TEMPS, WARMED UP FOR AND EXPERIENCED LOUD ENGINE KNOCK. ONCE DRIVEN, VEHICLE HAD NO POWER AND HAD TROUBLES GETTING TO HWY SPEED. DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED IT THE NEXT DAY AND WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE HAD EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL SLUDGE UNDER THE OIL FILLER CAP. SERVICE DEPT. CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO PULL THE VALVE COVER TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER TO SEE IF MAZDA NATIONAL WOULD COVER UNDER WARRANTY. WE AGREED SINCE WE PROPERLY MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE AND HAD NOTHING TO HIDE. TWO DAYS LATER WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALER AND WERE INFORMED THERE WAS EXCESSIVE SLUDGE AND THEY WOULD NEED TO SEE RECEIPTS FROM WHERE WE CHANGED OUR OIL. WE PERFORMED OUR OWN OIL CHANGES AND DID NOT KEEP RECEIPTS FROM THE AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE WE PURCHASED THE OIL. DEALER SAID WITHOUT THE RECEIPTS WE WOULD NOT GET WARRANTY WORK DONE AND CHARGED US $260 TO DO THE INVESTIGATION TO BETTER THEIR CASE. I CALLED NATIONAL MAZDA AND ALL THEY DID WAS READ THE NOTES FROM THE DEALER AND WERE NOT WILLING TO BUDGE. THE REP FROM MAZDA ([XXX]) WAS EXTREMELY RUDE AND COULD CARE LESS WE WERE EXPERIENCING MAJOR ISSUES WITH A CAR WITHIN THE WARRANTY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS CLAIMS SIMILAR TO OURS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. IT APPEARS MAZDA HAS THEIR STANDARD "EXCESSIVE ENGINE SLUDGE" PITCH DOWN AS THIS IS THE COMMON THEME IN ALL CX7 ENGINE PROBLEMS. WE HAD THE ENGINE REBUILT AT A LOCAL SHOP (PAID $6,100) AND NOW ARE TOLD THE TURBO IS SHOT AS WELL WHICH IS ESTIMATED AT ANOTHER $2,000 TO REPLACE. *TR

ON OCTOBER 4 2012 I WAS TOLD BY THE MAZDA DEALER SERVICE DEPT THAT MY TIMING CHAIN AND TURBO CHARGER ON MY 2010 MAZDA CX7 WENT BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 39400 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER MAZDAS POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD BY MAZDA WARRANTY DEPARTMENT THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING BASED ON SLUDGE BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE. I SENT THEM COPIES OF OIL CHANGE MAINTENANCE AS THEY REQUESTED WHICH WERE DONE AT APROX EVERY 3400 MILES AS OPPOSED TO THE REQUIRED 7500MILES. I WAS TOLD THEN THAT THEY WOULD COVER ONLY THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT WAS ON A RECALL AND THAT THE TURBO CHARGER WOULD NOT BE COVERED AT ALL. THEY CAME TO THIS CONCLUSION DUE TO THE TURBO GOING BAD DUE TO AN OUTSIDE INFLUENCE WHAT IS THAT I ASKED AND THEY HAD NO ANSWER. THE ANSWER I WAS GIVEN IS IT WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT IS THAT AND I HAVE BASICALLY NO RECOURSE.THERE IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH THESE CX7 AS THERE ARE SO MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND YET MAZDA REFUSES TO PAY ON THESE PART THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY 6YRS/60,000 MILES. THE CAR GETS TOO HOT AND BURNS THE OIL AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSES THE SLUDGE A MANUFACTURES DEFECT NOT NEGLECT ON OIL CHANGE AND FILTER MAINTENANCE. OTHER MAZDA OWNER HAVE THE SAME RESULT WHETHER THEY OIL CHANGED AT 3000, 4000, OR THE REQUIRED 7500 HOW CAN WE ALL HAVE SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT REGARDING THIS ENTIRE TURBO SYSTEM. MAZDA NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THE DEFECTS REGARDING THE CX7 MODELS AND HONOR THE CUSTOMERS WARRANTY WORK. THE CAR HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS THAT THEY ARE PRESENTLY NOT MAKING IT ANYMORE. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO LAYOUT AND WAIT TO BE REIMBURSED POSSIBLY BY MAZDA IN THE FUTURE THIS IS A DISGRACE. I WILL NEVER DRIVE ANOTHER MAZDA VEHICLE AGAIN AND I WILL NOT EVER RECOMMEND THEM TO ANY ONE. *TR

OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2012. IT WAS ABOUT 35 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND A BRIGHT, SUNNY DAY. WE WERE ON INTERSTATE 94 AND HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION. WE LOOKED BEHIND US AND SAW GLASS FLYING FROM OUR ROOFTOP. THE TRUCK BEHIND US DROPPED HIS SPEED IMMEDIATELY, AS OUR GLASS WAS FLYING OFF THE ROOF. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SAW THAT OUR SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED UP AND OUTWARD. THE TEMPERED GLASS IS TOTALLY IN SHARDS AND BARELY HELD TOGETHER. WE PULLED OFF THE LARGER, LOOSE PIECES, AND CALLED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY IMMEDIATELY. WE ARE FORTUNATE THE INSIDE HEADLINER OF THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED, OR WE WOULD HAVE HAD GLASS RAINING DOWN ON US. WE DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING LANDED ON THE ROOF, AS I HAVE A ROOF RACK ON TOP AND NOTHING IS DAMAGED ON TOP OF THE ROOF ITSELF. WE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, MAZDA, AND THEY DON'T THINK IT IS A WARRANTY ISSUE. I BELIEVE WE HAVE A DEFECT WITH THE SUNROOF GLASS AND WOULD LIKE IT LOOKED INTO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA CX-7. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS IMPACTED BY A ROCK WHICH CAUSED IT TO CRACKED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CX7 WINDSHIELD GLASS WAS VERY FRAGILE AND COULD BREAK EASILY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THEY WOULD CONTACT HER AT A LATER DATE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,700 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,100.

THE TURBO MADE A LOUD WHINING NOISE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED AND YOU COULD NOT ACCELERATE. ALOT OF WHITE SMOKE WAS FLOWING FROM THE EXHAUST. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER ON OUR WAY HOME FROM OUT OF TOWN AND CALLED AAA TO TOW THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE DEALER IN PARKERSBURG WV. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS APPROX. 19,000 MILES ON IT WITH SERVICE RECORDS SHOWING PROPER OIL CHANGES. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND MAZDA SOUNDS LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO COVER THIS PROBLEM. *TR

Feb 29, 2012

I WAS DRIVING MY MAZDA WHEN IT STARTED MAKING THIS ODD WINDING SOUND. AT FIRST IT WAS NOT TOO LOUD BUT WHEN I TRIED TO SPEED UP TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE, THE SOUND GOT EXTREMELY LOUD. I BROUGHT IT BACK HOME BUT BARELY MADE IT UP THE HILL TO OUR STREET. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT IT HAD NO POWER. I CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY PICKED UP MY CAR PROMPTLY. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME BACK, THEY REPORTED THAT THE ENGINE HAD "GUNK" IN IT. MY HUSBAND CHANGED THE OIL IN THE CAR BUT WE NEVER SAVED RECEIPTS FOR THE OIL, SO WE HAVE NO PROOF. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2010. IT ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 32000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT MAZDA WILL NOT PAY FOR THE ENGINE AND IT WILL COST $9000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE CAR I DROVE PRIOR TO THIS WAS A NISSAN ALTIMA AND WE ALSO DID ALL THE MAINTENANCE TO THIS CAR. I DROVE THE ALTIMA FOR A LITTLE OVER 200,000 MILES AND IT WAS STILL RUNNING WELL WHEN I SOLD IT. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME THAT THIS MAZDA HAS A BAD ENGINE AND IT MAKES ME EVEN MORE MAD THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. *KB *TR

ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE CAR. THE LAST 2 TIMES, THE CAR NOT ONLY DIDN'T STOP BUT IT ACCELERATED. I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A COUPLE OF VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. EACH TIME, I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS ON DRY PAVEMENT. THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS ON AUG 14, 2017, AND I TRIED TO STOP THE CAR BY USING THE GEAR SHIFT, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T STOP RIGHT AWAY. THE DEALERSHIP IS CURRENTLY WORKING WITH MAZDA TECH SUPPORT, BUT THEY CAN'T FIND A CAUSE FOR THIS. THEY WANT TO INSTALL A FLIGHT RECORDER, AND FOR ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK SO I CAN DRIVE IT UNTIL THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I TOLD THEM NO BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE PROBLEM, AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TESTING IT NOW. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN AUGUST 2015, AND I'VE ALREADY SPENT OVER $1000 ON REPAIRS RELATED TO IT.

WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW A TEMPORARY FIX FOR A SAFETY ITEM SUCH AS AN AIRBAG ? WHEN THE PREVIOUS AIR BAG CONTAINED A CANISTER THAT WOULD EXPLODE WITH SHRAPNEL ??

MY 2010 MAZDA CX7 HAS BEEN IN DIRE NEED OF NEW TIRES.

THIS IS THE ONLY TIRE RECOMMENDED THROUGH MAZDA. THEY ARE ALSO EXPENSIVE. I AM VERY UPSET THAT MAZDA GIVES NO ALLOWANCE OF THE BRAND TIRE THAT A CONSUMER MAY CHOOSE. EVEN THE MAZDA DEALER THAT I BOUGHT FROM DIDN'T HAVE THEM IN STOCK. I FEEL THIS HAS BEEN MISREPRESENTATION ON THE DEALER'S PART AND MAZDA. I HAVE BEEN READING FORUMS OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE EVERY YEAR BECAUSE OF TYPE OF TIRE. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND DO NOT NEED WINTER TIRES. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO? I AM TEMPTED TO CONTACT EVERY TIRE DEALER AND MEDIA. *TR
