Takata recall and ball joint suspension recall. It has been a challenge scheduling an appointment to fix these problems. Was scheduled to have the air bags replace but a day before the appointment,dealership cancelled due to air bag delivery issues. Called today to schedule but they said, Mazda put a hold on all repairs since the airbags the previously received was just a temporary fix and they are still waiting on the permanent solution.
My Cx-7 was repaired under the ball joint recall. The ball joint had failed prior to getting the ball joint replaced. As a result there were a lot more repairs that were required. It has been a little over a year since the ball joints were repaired. Repair date was 1/25/2017. According to morrie's chippewa valley Mazda in lake hallie, WI, my left ball joint is already loose. It was my understanding that this recall was to address the ball joints failing prematurely. It should have lasted more than a year. Mazda says there is no warranty for the recall replacement. What was the point of the recall if they cannot fix the issue? sincerely, william tate.
