Seat Belt 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.

Mazda is aware that the Cx-7 is a horribly made car which can be noted with the extensive list of recalls which the company has put out since its creation. Engine failure being the biggest concern to the safety of people on the road. Engine failure at 70mph on a busy highway can result in death. Something should be done to have Mazda compensate all owners for defectice vehicles. My engine failed and Mazda was of no help.

Was rear-ended at a fast speed by an 18 tractor trailer. No air bags deployed. I was slung with such force agains the steering wheel that the back of my seat fell backwards. My sons seatbealt came loose and by the grace of god I had enout strengths to grab him and pull him back to keep from going through the windsheild. I have the most damage because I had to get loose from my seat belt. Neither airbags deployed which in the kind force we were hit with and on top of that the seat belt coming out. I am still having nightmare were I have slept walked out side and actually started to pick up sticks as if I were pick up my sons body.

Abs light on dash display, dealer advised had to order a module. Stopped to get gas while I was out of town and airbag deployed scaring myself and my two passengers. I was thank goodness not in vehicle. Only driverside airbag deployed and seatbelt tightened up and broke the plastic around the door frame.
