I took my 2009 Mazda Cx-7 (108,000 miles) in to the dealership for an oil change and to see why the check engine light had come on. I was informed the turbo needed to be replaced and was advised that the car was unsafe to drive and that I needed to get a new car immediately. The dealership was hesitant to let me leave in the car as it could stop working at any time and because I do a significant amount of highway driving this is particularly alarming. No remedy was offered and I was told it wasn't worth repairing. This is a known issue with the Cx-7 and a danger to the driver and other drivers around when the cars stop working due to the issues with the turbo. A recall needs to be issued if so many people are having this issue with serious safety concerns.
