I OWN A 2007 MAZDA CX7 THAT THE A/C COMPRESSOR SEIZED UP ON CAUSING A NEAR FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. I HEARD AN AWFUL NOISE AND SAW SMOKE BILLOWING UNDER THE HOOD. I SHUT IT DOWN IMMEDIATELY KNOWING THAT WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN COULDN'T BE GOOD. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY CX7S NOW THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT BECAUSE I'VE OWNED THIS FOR 37 MONTHS, (35,000 MILES) THAT IT ISN'T COVERED BY THE 60,000 MILE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY, (IF I CAN'T DRIVE IT, ITS A DRIVETRAIN PROBLEM TO ME)...THIS NEEDS TO BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT..OR A RECALL YOU'RE CHOICE. *TR
