I am the owner of a 2007 Mazda Cx-7. . . . . . . About 3 days ago the a/c stopped working and the car only has 40,000 miles on it. . . . . I did a little research and apparently the a/c system in the 2007 Mazda Cx-7 is not exactly up to par because the following year the a/c system was completely re-done on all 2008 Mazda Cx-7. . . . . Now im stuck here in blazing hot texas with a vehicle that is barely 2 years old and I cant afford a new a/c compressor. . . . . . Also I am looking forward to my car breaking down due to the fact that the compressor has been known to snap belts. . .
