Took my car to get a alignment due to the shacking of the wheel when coming to a stop, when taking my car to be look at, I was advised that the control arm of my car was bad, in which I wasn't aware of. On may 1st I had the control arm replaced. Now I received letters an calls about the airbag recall. On June 15th took my car to jake sweeney Mazda after receiving a call about the recall. While in the waiting room waiting for the airbag to be repaired, the service person ben came back out and told me that I had another recall for the lower control arm of the car, in which I just had repaired on may 1st, unaware of the recall, which I found out on June 15th. After explaining to them what had happened, he told me that he needed to still fix what had already been done, with the updated parts. On June 16th, I submitted my reimbursement request on June 18th I received an e-mail back stating that all repairs done by third party would be my responsibility. I tried calling and speaking with an supervisor, who still advised me that it was my responsibility. So I explained to them that it is my responsibility to know when their parts are recalled without receiving letters are calls about it. I paid $855. 80 to get the lower control arms repaired. I provided them with the copy of my bank account, along with the receipt copy of the third party vendor who fixed the repairs. I would like to be reimbursed for my $855. 80.

Airbag sensor stays on.

Takata recall. The headlights are a danger. My 2009 Mazda Cx-7 is very dangerous. The inside of the lamps are all coated. I never had an accident. They are just a death trap. I cannot use them. I use my brights so I don't get in an accident.

Air bags have been replaced after recall in July of 2018 and air bag l8ghts hace come back on in October 2018. Both driver and passenger lights come on while driving and when stationary after starting the car.

The exhaust from this car is horrible. Causing breathing issues.

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.

A/c compressor went out. All parts needed to replace is compressor/condenser-dryer/expansion valve. Total of $2778. 00 working fine. Stopped at store 15 min. Start back up and no a/c.

My car was parked and turned off with the key in my hand. I inserted the key and started the car with my foot on the brake. My foot was still on the brake pedal when I put the car in drive. It surged ahead and without any warning I crashed into a cement base to a pole. I had been parked in the driveway of a donation center.

My car was parked and turned off. I entered the car, put my foot on the brake to start the car and then put the car in drive. Immediately it surged forward about 50 feet hitting a cement base to a pole. My foot was still on the brake. The air bag deployed and the seatbelt worked keeping me from any injury. The insurance company determined it was totaled. This happened in a parking lot. There was no police report as it was deamed private property as it was a goodwill store.

I was wondering why 3 of my window motors went out the same day.

Recall 9716h (front lower control arm) was sent out in October 2016 and 10 months later there is no solution or eta to the solution. In the interim, we are driving a potentially unsafe vehicle during dangerous times of the year (winter). Recall 1317f (air bag inflator) I was denied a service appointment due to a technicians strike and offered no recourse or options in the interim. Announced safety issues when no immediate repair is available, should at minimum be have the requirement to offer drivers a safe and comparable rental vehicle while a solution is put into place. We are in a situation where Mazda has now essentially said "we sold you an unsafe car so just keep driving it until we fixing it fits into our schedule".

Ac unit smoke when it brakes causing smoke to come in side and causing cerviteen belt to break also.

"takata recall' my valve stem is broken on my tire. The tire dealer has a 3 llb coffee can full of these . Nobody will take responsibility for faulty products. I only have 6 thousand miles on a new set of tires. What am I supposed to do . The replacement valves cost half of the price of a tire and I live on a fixed income. Please help.

So my a. C. Decides to go out the other day while on the way to class (on the interstate ) and I start to smell something burning, then to make matters worse smoke starts coming from the vents!! I immediately pull over and had to get it towed ! took it to repair shop to be looked at and learned that this is a constant problem with these vehicles! apparently this is well known and there is some sort of malfunction and people are paying the price big time for it. I do not think this is right. I got this vehicle a month ago to get me to school and to get me and my 3 year old around. I do not have 2k laying around to get it fixed.

I lost power to my 2010 Mazda cx7 while going 60 mp downhill in a mountain pass. My car went from 60 mp to 40 mp in about 30 seconds. I immediately pulled over as black smoke poured out of my tail pipe and had the car towed. My mechanic said the turbo was blown, which cause the car's oil to completely burn up, causing damage to the timing chain and engine. All of the oil was gone in a matter of a few miles. The car had been up to date on all maintenance. A new turbo and engine was needed on a car that had 74,000 miles on it.

It has been 1 year since the recall was made. But the parts were never available. I went through winter in chicago feeling unsafe. I don't think they are replacing my lower control arm. They are postponing it to hope that I will forget about it.

2011 Mazda Cx-7. Consumer writes in regards to unsatisfactory customer service at dealership with repairs and rental vehicle service. The consumer stated the only vehicle the dealership offered was a truck. The consumer is handicapped and it was difficult to enter and exit the vehicle. Updated 07/13/2017.

When driving there is a rattling noise that sounds like something is loose. Was told from Mazda service dept. That it was vvt (variable valve timing) its a chain which is - the process of altering the timing of a valve lift event, and is often used to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions. It is increasingly being used in combination with variable valve lift systems. I was told that most Mazda cars are having this problem after miles of driving and the cost of repairs is almost $2000. Mazda isn't trying to cover the repair which is showing to be happening on almost all of their suvs.

Shortly after purchasing vehicle replaced timing, turbo, exaust, ball joints, tie rod ends & much more. Timing was first, then driving and turbo went out. 2 days ago car sitting in driveway, not running, started smoking from under hood, butst into flames and burnt up. Mazda said no recalls, clearly not true according to website. Almost burnt my house also as it was sitting in driveway and couldnt be moved. If we would have been inside the car, I doubt we would of had time to get pulled over & out as thats how quick it burnt!.

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.

I purchased a 2007 Mazda Cx-7, 3 years ago. I have taken pristine care of my vehicle as I have always. I am a fan of Mazda and have owned others in my lifetime. However, I am extremely disappointed in Mazda Cx-7. I have always put premium gas in my vehicle, regular oil changes, and had my vehicle serviced at a Mazda dealership to make sure it was taken care of properly. Nonetheless, last week I had my car towed to the dealership. Why? because of the consistent problems I seem to find online. My turbo needs to be replaced among other things that coincide with this issue. I have done my research and see that Mazda only points fingers back to the consumer. But I am going to point my finger at the poor design. Must be why Mazda no longer make these vehicles. I believe this is Mazda¿s issue not mine. The car cannot be totaled out by my insurance company because it is ¿a mechanical breakdown¿. I still owe on the vehicle and the cost to repair is well over the blue book value of the car. There should be a recall on these vehicles. Mazda just keeps pointing the fingers back at us, even if the car was taken care of?!?! if this is a common issue for Mazda Cx-7 and Mazda cx 9 to have turbocharger and engine problems, I do not see why the repairs are put back on us.

Mazda issued a warranty extension on the a/c compressor because of a known problem. My compressor broke after this extension. It created a safety concern as the clutch broke off of the compressor cause sparks to fly from the loose rubbing metal. Sparks were not caused from electric arc. When the clutch originally seized the engine / compressor began to smoke. I turned off the ac and drove home. Upon driving the car to to the repair shop with the ac off, the clutch separated and began sparking. This clutch could have separated and shot like a projectile. Ac compressor broke while on highway. I have the old part should you like to see it.

I have a 2007 Mazda Cx-7, my vehicle has 71,000 miles I have noticed a riddling noise for the past few months. I visit three mechanics and all three mechanics are telling me it's the vvt timing chain. The cost the repair my vehicle is $3,000 to $4,000 dollars. I contact the Mazda dealer and because I have no warranty I have to pay out of pocket. So I begin to do my research online. I realized that there are hundreds of other Mazda Cx-7 owners that are having the same issues as I. What a coincidence Mazda has discontinued manufacturing the Mazda Cx-7. This is a manufacture issue and Mazda needs to own up for it. Hundreds of people are losing their vehicles due to this vvt timing chain issue and Mazda needs to make this a re-call. I know one thing I hope and pray nothing happens to me while driving my vehicle because I will not hesitate to file a lawsuit against the Mazda corp. I hope someone can help all of us who are current owners of Mazda Cx-7. I will continue to spread the word of this horrific issue with this vehicle model.

While traveling through the state of new mexico, the vehicle a/c compressor locked up causing the serpentine belt to melt and break. This resulted in a loss of power steering and made controlling the vehicle difficult, if not dangerous. Based on other complaints this is a very common problem on 2007-08 Mazda Cx-7 vehicles and so absolutely be a recall.

Sunroof shattered while driving on the highway at 60mph at 9:30am when I heard a loud crash on the roof of my car. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw many pieces of glass flying behind me. Thankfully, I had the shade drawn closed, otherwise, I would have been covered in a shower of glass. I managed to pull over and did not find any foreign objects or rocks (and saw no rocks bouncing in the street prior to this incident). The insurance company asked me what happened, but I had no explanation. It seems like the sunroof just exploded.

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.

I was driving my Mazda Cx-7 2007 when my ac stopped working. The ac started blowing hot air even though the controls were on ac mode. I pilled off the highway and called a mechanic who informed me that my ac compressor stopped working.

Tcs and check engine light is on. The car does not have power even if the gas pedal is pressed all the way, the car moves only up to 5 miles per hour (rpm power). Vehicle loses throttle. Ac blows warm when tcs light is on. There is a white smoke from the exhaust.

Tcs and check engine light is on. The car does not have power even if the gas pedal is pressed all the way, the car moves only up to 5 miles per hour (rpm power). Vehicle loses throttle. Ac blows warm when tcs light is on. There is a white smoke from the exhaust. This usually happens after the car is parked for couple hours. The same issue occurs several times within a period of year and a half. My car was @ service shop more than 2 months. I contacted Mazda corporate office in several occasions and they are aware of the issues I have with the car, but they did not respond positively.

Vehicle stalled in sams club parking lot. It did restart but started making a rubbing or grinding noise. Turns out the ac compressor locked up. According to internet postings it is a known issue with 2007/2008 models. Apparently it was addressed for 2009 model. I've ran 7 or 8 vehicles for 200,000 plus miles and have yet to have a compressor go out until this know anomaly. Where is the resolution from Mazda?.
