2 Tire problem of the 2007 Mazda CX-7

Failure Date: 12/28/2009

Approximately three weeks ago, I noticed increasing difficulty maneuvering my car and two weeks ago, as I turned onto my street, (traveling at approximately 5 mph), my car actually slid across the intersection and into the curb on the opposite side of the street. Fortunately, no pedestrians were nearby and neither my car nor I sustained any injury. Curious as to why this would have occurred, my husband investigated and much to our dismay, we discovered that my bridgestone turanza tires with just 18,800 miles on them were bald except for the grooves that run along the circumference of the tire. At this time, we called two area bridgestone dealers who jointly consented that the tire had no tread wear warranty which further served to reinforce the fact that bridgestone is aware that the turanza is a poor quality tire not worthy of warranty. When questioned about the poor state of the tires after just 18,800 miles, they indicated, that other than the fact that the turanza was a cheap tire (their specific verbiage), it could also be due to poor driver habits or an out-of-alignment vehicle or both. Because I am the sole driver of my vehicle and commute just 21 miles round-trip to my job via a state-maintained road with a maximum speed limit of 50 mph, poor driver habits is eliminated. Furthermore, investigation also revealed that the car was, in fact, not out-of-alignment, as we have now replaced all four tires on the vehicle and confirmed that the alignment was fine. Frankly, we find it nothing short of despicable that bridgestone continues to sell these tires when fully aware of its poor quality and it is particularly dishonorable that you are willing to risk peoples lives because they are unknowingly driving on inferior, non-warranted tires.

6 Tire problem of the 2007 Mazda CX-7

Failure Date: 12/23/2008

My husband and I purchased 2 Mazda Cx-7's in oct 07. In sept 2008 1 vehicle after just 13,000 miles on it had excessive and abnormal wear on all 4 of the tires. We have been advised not to drive much on these tires in the condition they are in by 4 separate opinions we received from the dealership, tire manufacturer and 2 additional tire retailers. We have had 1 flat tire during the process of getting these tires replaced however neither the dealership, car manufacturer nor the tire manufacturer would stand behind the faulty equipment. All agreed that the tires should not wear that excessively however each blaming the other for the problem. Several posts on the internet state the same problem with this tire and this vehicle! I feel I have the right to have safe equipment on my vehicle and I am looking for support to keep my passengers as well as other's who may be driving this car with these tires safe. I would like to mention that the other vehicle of the same make and model bought on the same day has a different tire on the car and that car has normal wear and tear. . To me this is evidence that something is not right with this car and this tire.

8 Tire problem of the 2007 Mazda CX-7

Failure Date: 12/02/2008

I purchased a 2007 Mazda Cx-7 from diamond Mazda in baton rouge, la. I have always been under the assumption that a set of tires on a new vehicle would last me at least till I paid off the loan which would be 5 years. I have purchased other vehicles and never had this probably before now. This is the first time that I have bought a Mazda and probably my last. I am very disappointed about the run around that I am getting from bridgestone/firestone tire retailers. I was told that this Mazda Cx-7 is a heavy vehicle and that the tires are only warranty for 16,000 miles I have never heard anything like that before in my life. If I have to buy tires every year I will go broke. My Mazda Cx-7 has 16,000 miles on it and the tires are worn to where they are slick. They are very dangerous and for me to buy some new tires will cost me $750. 00. I had no idea that this would have happen to me after only having the car for one year. I see there are other complaints on the same issue. There should be a recall on these tires.

16 Tire problem of the 2007 Mazda CX-7

Failure Date: 05/12/2007

Mazda cx7 (fwd) exhibits abnormal tire wear(cupping,feathering) on all (4) tires after less than 1000 miles. Brought the car into the purchasing dealer who re-balanced and realigned. Tires continued to exhibit the same wear after 2000 miles and ride at highway speeds had some vibration and rough feel at lower speeds. Dealer once again realigned vehicle and increased the psi on all 4 tires to 36psi. At just over 5000 miles vehicle was brought into dealer again, still continuing to show abnormal wear and poor ride at highway speeds (vibration & rough). Dealer realigned and re-balanced all wheels and once again increased tire inflation to 36psi. I later contacted the service mgr and told him that I did not like the fact that he increased the tire pressure over the manufacturers recommended settings and that this would cause the tire to wear down the center quickly.
