MY COMPLAINT; IN 3/18/2010 AT 2:00PM WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE RADIO DISPLAY BLANKED OUT AND THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) WAS BLINKING AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL STAYED ON. GAUGE NEEDLES WERE BOUNCING. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT ON AND OFF THREE TIMES THEN EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON. THEN LATER IN THE DAY 3/18/2010 AT 7:00 PM THE RADIO DISPLAY AND THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. THIS TIME I JUST KEPT PRESSING THE ON AND OFF BUTTON A COUPLE TIMES THIS DID NOT WORK BUT THEN THE RADIO JUST CAME ON BY ITSELF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 3/19/2010 THE RESULTS AS THE DEALER NOTICE SAYS: UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. COULD NOT FIND ANY POOR CONNECTIONS TO HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. DURING TEST DRIVE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED MY CX7 THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE AIR CONDITIONER MADE LOUD BANGING NOISES AND DOES NOT GET COLD. WHEN I WAS AT MY WITS END AND TOOK CX7 TO DEALER AT 9,600 MILES MAZDA SAID I HAD A BAD MASTER CYLINDER AND REPLACED IT. WHEN THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MAZDA ORDERED ANOTHER MASTER CYLINDER AND A BRAKE BOOSTER. WHEN THESE WERE REPLACED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. MAZDA SAID MY ENGINE WAS RUNNING ON A LEAN MIXTURE AND CORRECTED THIS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF CX7 RUNS VERY ROUGHLY. ONLY USE PREMIUM GASOLINE AND SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL. MAZDA FIELD REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED ME AND DEALER THAT LOUD NOISE FROM AIR CONDITIONER IS NORMAL AND TYPICAL OF ALL SIMILAR MAZDA VEHICLES. I HAVE THIS DOCUMENTATION REGARDING A/C IN WRITING FROM MAZDA. AIR CONDITIONER BARLEY GETS CAR COOL, IS INEFFECTIVE WHEN TEMPERATURE IS NINETY DEGREES. MY BRAKES ARE SLIGHTLY BETTER, BUT STILL LOW AND SOFT. CX7 RUNS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND IS GETTING VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE. *TR
