Headlights problems of the 2010 Mazda CX-7

Low beam headlights are very dangerous, impossible to see down the road using the low beam lights. This is very dangerous and should be a safety recall for the manufacturer to correct.

My headlights are very dim no matter which bulbs I put in. I really need to get this fixed because driving at night is a danger. I've read many Mazda Cx-7 owners have had this issue.

Headlight bulbs have burned out every 6 months since we bought the vehicle in 2010. Over the past few years, the lenses have fogged up to the point headlights are worthless. Took the vehicle to the dealer, one seal is bad and the other side has melted, cost of repair is nearly $2,000. This is a safety issue and looks to be a common defect in this make/model of car. We now drive the car only during daylight. If we need to at night, we use high beams exclusively as we can't see a thing with regular headlights.

Head light bulbs were burning out and could not be replaced because the clips were broken. I was told this is quite common in the design and in their infinite wisdom, Mazda refuses to sell new clips, instead, I was forced to buy two new headlight fixtures to the tune of $1200 for parts and 300 for labor. I am never buying another Mazda.

The low beam headlights have had to be replaced multiple times on our vehicle, one night both went out and had to drive home with our high beams on, we've probably replaced about at least two dozen bulbs, there has to be some fix to this issue, they are expensive and not easy to replace, they say drilling a hole in the housing will take care of the problem by giving air and reducing the moisture in the housing, that has been done and still lights are going out, need help here on this issue.

Low beam headlights on this vehicle are extremely poor and they are so dull that it is difficult to drive at night. When I compare the low beam halogen projectors on other makes of vehicles that I have driven, they consistently perform far better than those on the Mazda. I felt that the lights were subpar from the time I bought the vehicle from new, but they have gotten worse over time. Specifically the illumination of the road surface, the focus and the distance of the light all appear to be very poor. It is just difficult to see at night. I suspect that the problem is in the design and construction of the lights because as I mentioned, I noticed this problem when the car was new. So this is not a problem of old lights on an old car. I even mentioned it to the dealership during a service and they checked the aim of the lights and said that they were working perfectly. Having seen other complaints from other owners and drivers of this vehicle, I am now convinced that this is a problem that Mazda should take responsibility for. Headlights are there to enable drivers to see and be seen under most road conditions. The 2010 Mazda Cx-7 headlights simply fail to achieve this. This is clearly a case of form over function, but in this case it had led to a serious safety concern.

The headlights (low beam) on my car simply stopped working all of a sudden. Checked the fuses and all are fine. High beams and signal lights work fine, it's just the headlights. Have seen this same description in other websites as possibly the control module had a short circuit and this is a very common thing to happen to these cars. Mazda is not accepting this as an "in warranty" repair even though this is a major common complaint. My car is out of warranty already, so I'll need to pay this repair out of pocket.

My headlights have been going out for the last several years and I finally realized I should complain about. I've change the low beam bulbs multiple times (I do not touch the bulb with my hand) and every few months the bulb goes bad. This happens so frequently that I keep a spare bulb in my glove compartment. I've read many message boards stating their Mazda has similar issues. There has to be some other solution rather than spending a lot of money on bulbs or going to the dealership for them to change.

I am very unhappy with my headlights on my Mazda cx7 2010 or should I say lack of headlights. I have put 8 light bulbs in this car and they were the expensive ones. This car is a piece of crap all the way around but the headlights are really bad! also they are so clouded over. I have a hard time driving at night and now I just can't because I am not going to get stopped again for having a headlight out! I only drive during the day. I can't believe that they do not have a recall for this problem, when I see so many complaints on the same thing. This is such a stress er for me. I wish there was someone out there that could help us in this situation.
