| 2007 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | I HAVE A 2007 CX7 MAZDA AND APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO, WHILE @ A STOP SIGN THE ENGINE REVVED UP. THREE DAYS LATER @ A RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE AGAIN REVVED UP WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKES. THIS TIME THE CAR MOVED FORWARD TOWARDS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND THE CAR CAME BACK TO NORMAL. THEN ON APRIL 21ST, WHILE REVERSING THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF THE LOCAL LIBRARY, THE CAR AGAIN REVVED UP AND WAS REVERSING. MY FOOT WAS AGAIN ON THE BRAKES. AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. A VEHICLE DATA RECORDER WAS INSTALLED. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE THIRD OCCURRENCE. A NEW ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS BEING INSTALLED ALTHOUGH THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS STILL UNKNOWN. *TR |
| 2008 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM | 2008 MAZDA CX-7 AIR COMPRESSOR FAILED AT 42,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A FEW DAYS AGO. APPEARS TO BE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 AND THE 2008 MAZDA CX-7 MODELS THAT WERE BUILT IN '07 (AS IS THE CASE WITH MY '08). MAZDA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THE 2007 AND 2008 MAZDA CX-7 AND REPLACE THE AIR COMPRESSOR. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE A/C OFF AND DRIVE MY CAR TO SAFETY. NOT EVERYONE HAS BEEN THAT FORTUNATE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HORRIFIC ISSUE HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THIS IS NOT JUST AN A/C ISSUE. ONCE THE COMPRESSOR ON THE MAZDA CX-7 FAILS, THERE ARE A LIMITED # OF MILES THE CAR CAN TRAVEL UNTIL THERE ARE ENGINE ISSUES - EVEN WITH THE A/C TURNED OFF - WILL STILL CAUSE ENGINE PROBLEMS IF NOT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. *TR |
