MY 2007 CX-7 HAD BEEN MAKING A NOISE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS SO I HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY TWO DIFFERENT PLACES AND WAS TOLD BY BOTH THAT THE TIMING CHAIN IS ABOUT TO BREAK. IT HAS 66K MILES WHICH SEEMS LOW TO BE HAVING THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP BUT SINCE I'M OVER THE 60K MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 MAZDA CX-7. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A BANGING AND RATTLING SOUND. THE CONTACT STATED THE SOUND WAS ALSO HEARD WHEN THE TURBO WAS ACTIVATED. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR WITH OR WITHOUT THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14.
