| 2007 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | I HAVE HAD MY 2007 MAZDA CX-7 FOR LESS THAN ONE YEAR. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR ENGULFED IN THICK WHITE SMOKE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP PER MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THE REPAIR SHOP AT FIRST CALLED TO TELL ME IT WAS THE STARTER, AND THAT IT WOULD COST 600 TO FIX IT. COME TO FIND OUT THAT NOT ONLY THE STARTER BLEW, BUT IT ALSO RUINED THE ALTERNATOR AS WELL AS THE FUSES ON THE BATTERY. I WAS TOLD BY MAZDA THAT THIS IS NOT A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THE TOTAL OF THE REPAIRS IS NOW OVER 1200. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT ITS LIFESPAN AND IS AT 92,000 MILES. *TR |
| 2009 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | WE LEASED A 2009 MAZDA CX-7 (GARAGED AND HIGHWAY DRIVEN ONLY). THERE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM. THE BATTERY DIED. WE CHANGED THE BATTERY. CAR STARTED AND THEN DIED. AFTER ONE MONTH, IT AGAIN HAD BEEN FLAT BEDDED BY MAZDA. THEY DID A CHECK AND TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BUT THEY FOUND SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THEY HAD A RECALL ON A VALVE WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED IN THE MAIL. THE CAR ONLY HAD 17,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER 3 YEARS, MAZDA CAME BACK AND SAID THEY WOULD COVER UNDER LEASE OR EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH I HAD. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $9,500 TO REPLACE AN ENGINE WITH A 17,000-MILE LEASED CAR AND THEY WOULD NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. I WANT TO START A LAWSUIT ON THE CAR AS I HAVE HAD MANY LEASES WITHOUT THESE PROBLEMS EVER AND LEASED OVER 10 CARS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WITH NO PROBLEM. *JS |
