I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD APRIL 10, 2010, IN MY 2007 MAZDA CX 7 WHEN THE A/C STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR, NEXT THING I KNEW PEOPLE ARE FLAGGING ME DOWN AND TELLING ME MY CAR IS ON FIRE! THE CAR WAS NOT ON FIRE, JUST VERY HOT AND SMOKING WITH A VERY BAD BURNING SMELL. DEALERSHIP SAID A/C COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP WHICH CAUSED OTHER DAMAGE. DEALERSHIP SAID "THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF PROBLEMS WITH A/C COMPRESSOR". LOW AND BEHOLD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES, BETWEEN 30 - 50K MILES, SOME EVEN LOSING POWER STEERING OR COMPLETE OPERATION OF THEIR VEHICLES DUE TO A/C COMPRESSOR FAILURE. MAZDA HAS NOT RECALLED? THIS IS A PROBLEM AND IT MAY COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE... *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
HAD TO REPLACE THE A/C COMPRESSOR THAT WENT BAD, WAS A RECALL ON THEM BUT MY WARRANTY WAS OUT. THEN NOW 11/8/13 I AM BEING TOLD THAT MY EGR VALVE IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT SO HAPPENS GUESS WHAT THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY HAS RAN OUT. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THE A/C COMPRESSOR AND NOW THE EGR VALVE. *TR
