I OWN A 2007 MAZDA CX7. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, AT 29K MILES I HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. AT AROUND 34K HAD TO HAVE THE TURBO LOOKED AT BECAUSE OF BLACK SMOKE BLOWING ON MY BUMPER, MAZDA REPLACED THE PIPES. MY PIPES WERE STILL SMOKING, HAD TO TAKE OFF WORK, TAKE CAR IN AGAIN BECAUSE OF BLACK SMOKE, MAZDA TRIED REPLACING RINGS IN TURBO, STILL BLOWIN BLUISH WHITE SMOKE, NOW GETTING TURBO REPLACED. I HAD THE AIR COMPRESSOR REPLACED A ABOUT A MONTH AGO. NOW I HAVE A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE AND I'M SCARED THE TIMING CHAIN WILL BREAK SOON. MAZDA NEEDS TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAINS ON THESE MODELS. I THINK MAZDA SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AN RECALL THIS MODEL, YR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR BREAKS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE TURBO MADE A LOUD WHINING NOISE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED AND YOU COULD NOT ACCELERATE. ALOT OF WHITE SMOKE WAS FLOWING FROM THE EXHAUST. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER ON OUR WAY HOME FROM OUT OF TOWN AND CALLED AAA TO TOW THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE DEALER IN PARKERSBURG WV. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS APPROX. 19,000 MILES ON IT WITH SERVICE RECORDS SHOWING PROPER OIL CHANGES. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND MAZDA SOUNDS LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO COVER THIS PROBLEM. *TR
