Body Problems of Mazda CX-7

We bought the vehicle used from a car dealership called heavy foot motors in san antonio TX. The very next day, the vehicle started smoking from the hood, exhaust, and smoke came through the air vents. My wife going about 5-10mph while making a turn in a residential neighborhood when the smoking started. We towed the vehicle to the dealership and explained what happened. Their mechanic took the vehicle and had it for three weeks. I picked the vehicle up and made it maybe 5 minutes down the road, and the vehicle did the same thing. So I had the vehicle towed back to the dealership again and it is currently there as of 4/4/2020. My safety concern is that there is smoke coming out of the engine, exhaust, as well as through the ac vent and going into the vehicle. Also, when I went to install my children's seat belt we realized the back seats seat belts do not lock to secure a carseat. That is a major safety concern for me. Also, upon purchase I realize there was no driver side door handle. We agreed in purchase contract that the dealership would put one on if I purchased it. I just found it strange how you could sell a car from a dealership without a driver side door handle. That is a huge safety concern incase something were to happen and that was the only door to open from the outside. I also realize now that the trunk does not open, the door will not open. I will be getting a copy of their mechanic's report where he stated that it is his professional opinion that the vehicle was sold in this condition. I have requested a refund which initially,( verbally) I was told we would get if it in fact was sold in that manner but now they have backed out of that.

� takata recall� it seems after having my car for 4 months I ran into issues. I was driving on a residential street when my car started making a strange whining noise and small plumes or white smoke began to come from the hood, near the pulley systems. I drove home approximately 4 miles away . I went to start it the next day and it won't start it seems to be the alternator.

Automatic door lock system locked all doors and would not release. There is no mechanical over ride and the drive was trapped in the car. After attempting release multiple times the lock released and the driver could exit by climbing over the center console and exiting the passenger door. When outside the car and attempting to unlock it the door handle fell off. If this had been an emergency or a car fire the driver would have died. This isn't the first time this happened to a Mazda cx7 because there is a utube procedure to fix the problem. Mazda needs to recall these vehicles and fix the problem with a mechanical over ride procedure. I don't know if the cx5 and cx9 have the same problem but my guess is yes. The vehicle was stopped in store parking lot. The vehicle had not been in ab accident.

Every since I first purchased my car, my door handles are very loose, I've had to get the driver one fixed and it's loose again. It causes me to not be able to use that door. All my windows will not go up once I put them down and they are also making noises. My headlights are dimmer from when I first purchased the car, and I have to keep replacing them because they keep going out.

Takata recall and horn and passenger door lock. I took my car in for thesuspention recall and air bags to galpin in van nuys CA. I got the car back and the suspention was done but not the passenger air bag. The reason from the Mazda service mgr eas since my passenger door is broken ( the lock) he could not open the door so he did not work on the air bag. I can not afford tge 200. 00 that it will take to fix and replace my passenger door lock. I feel that I should have my door fixed by Mazda and then do the repair work on the recalled air bag. The door lock just vroke on its own and I paid cash for my car brand bew from galpin. Also I was driving on the freeway and all of a sudden my Mazda emblem in the center of the steering wheel blew ioff and landed in NY lap!! I eas not using the horn. I now have no horn and have looked at the fuse and everything else and no one seems to kniw what happen here.

Mazda hasn't been able to make recall parts available in a timely manner resulting in my lower control arm/ball joint to break away from my tire causing me to loose steering while turning. Also being broke down on railroad tracks and needed to get my car and myself to safety. My car had to be lifted with equipment to be moved resulting in both left and right front fender damage! this is very inconsiderate and poor business manner!!!.

Three door latch screws on the driver's front door came completely out and were missing when I discovered the problem. The door would not close tightly and wind noise could be heard when driving. There was a recall on Mazda 6 vehicles with exactly this same problem. Also, the screws on the other 3 doors were not tight and I had to tighten them. The problem was discovered while the cx7 was parked in the driveway.

Nov. 2015 I was involved in a accident on i435 in which the airbags deployed which I inhaled the gas, which disoriented me for awhile. After regaining my senses discovered my vehicle was totaled.

Sunroof shattered - I just got onto I-43 via the on ramp and my sunroof exploded and came down on me like a shower of glass. I was able to pull over. I immediately looked for any foreign debris but there was none. I drove home and called the car dealer (holiday in fond du lac WI). They said they never heard of a sunroof breaking because of the heat or anything like this and my extended warranty would not cover. I had it fixed and heard about this on the news two weeks later. My car is a 2010 Mazda cx7 in excellent condition. The cost to replace was $597. 08 plus tax.

The rear passenger door can not open from the inside. I have never activated the child lock on the door. It is not in the lock position. It is dangerous. I am unable to let my son out on street side protecting him from on coming cars. During inspection nothing was broken and they recomended I take it to the dealer for further investigation.

We were driving 65mph on the I-15 freeway in centerville utah and the sunroof exploded with tremendous force, the sunroof was closed and we were not near an over pass, glass shot into the car and luckily no one was injured, if there would have been some one in the back seat they would have been blasted with glass. There was broken glass from the front floor area to the rear cargo area with most of it in the back seat. After inspection it was clear that the glass that remained was lifted upward away from the roof. We searched on the web and this has happened to a good many people with the same description that the glass exploded outward with many pieces blasted into the car. There was no sign of an object hitting the sun roof.

New headrests since 2010 are terrible. My neck constantly hurts because I like to sit against the back of my seat, and my head is pushed forward at an angle no matter how I try to adjust the headrests in my cx7. These "safety" regulations are causing me pain and permanent neck issues. These safety regulations need to be revised.
