Recently got this car and am fixing it up. Vehicle's headlights function but are dysfunctional. Night driving is impossible as per nearly nonexistent illumination of roadway. Don't know how to fix/upgrade. Wanted to give this vehicle to my florida student but now hesitate as florida's roadways are not illuminated. Have seen many posts relative hereto, even when the vehicle was new. A manufacturer's recall should issue for new improved headlights. Please advise on a fix for this essential vehicular safety function .
Headlight to nowhere just started having horrible visibility it’s like if lights were off I change the bulbs several times leds h ids factory bulbs still results no good.
Low beam headlamps are extremely dim. Have bought new replacement headlamps and are still very dim. Bought both replacement headlamp housings thinking wiring could be compromised but that didn't help either. Replacing headlamps is difficult due to having to remove either the front tires or the front entire bumper assembly to switch out lamps. No fog lights are present on this model so makes driving at night very difficult. And unsafe.
Both low beam head lights keep going out. I have had the car for 3 years in July and I've had to get get each light changed 3 times already. When I get one side fixed the other one goes out.
I noticed tailights looked funny, so I removed them to inspect them. To my surprise there were melted holes in the taillight, and burn/charred marks on 2 of the light receptacles. Also having problems with front head light burning out. This appears to be a major defect with this model, every owner I have spoke with has same problem.
I have my Mazda 2010 cx7 on 3-11-2017. When the dealer give me to me. The Mazda have this. They star with the light on in air bag and other time. The other problem is when use the swith and put the light there change and I'm think there have problem electrical and in the rim. The Mazda running but they have a couple problem. And unknown situation the only fixed is the lower control arm. Because when am going ovethere they told me the only recall have is that want. The lower control arm.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 Mazda Cx-7. The contact stated that the low beams shorted more than five times and an independent mechanic had to replace the head lamp assemblies multiple times. The contact had to utilize the high beams each time the failure occurred. In addition, the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 16v356000 (air bags) and 16v593000 (suspension). The contact was to check with the manufacturer to determine when the dealer may be able to schedule the recall repairs and to report the electrical failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000. Parts distribution disconnect. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
Head lights are very dim. Can not drive the car at night. I have replaced the lights 2 times with no improvement.
Dim headlamp bulbs burn out repeatedly . Have owned vehicle 5 months and have changed 4 times.
I purchased the 2010 Mazda cx7 vehicle about nine months ago. I frequently do not drive the vehicle because I feel it is unsafe under many conditions. The dash lights are inadequate and make it almost impossible to know how fast you are traveling day or night. I am afraid I will be ticketed for traveling too slow or too fast when the instrument panel is so poorly lighted. I have looked at other 2010 and 2011 models, and they are all the same, poorly lighted. I recently spoke to someone with another model who had the same complaint. I feel that it is unsafe and should be recalled. I have no other complaints about the vehicle at this time.
