Transfer Case Problems of Mazda CX-7

My car makes a rattling noise at start up. After reading the horror story's online about this car vvta going out, or the ac compressor going out and messing up the engine I took it too the Mazda dealership. They said I needed a new variable valve timinig actuator. This is a major problem with year make and model. So I talk to independent machanic who has experience with Mazdas and has fixed this same problem numerous times on this vehicle. He stated the problem is you can only get the part from Mazda and they are still selling the defective part. Why isn't someone doing something about this. This issue has caused people from losing all power while traveling at high speed on the highway. My car also has a transfer case leak which is another thing everyone else is having problems with. Someone get these guys to recall this part. This is a very dangerous car!!!.

The official TSB was listed in 2008 power train:transfer case (4-wheel drive) date reported April 16 2008 NHTSA reference #10024861 TSB reference #03-003/08 description: gear oil dripping from transfer case oil seal. 4wd vehicles with VIN's lower than jm3er*9****188196 (produced before oct. 1, 2007). Repair information for NHTSA #10024861 they new it was a dangerous situati0on and we could have been killed if the trans locked up. I went in today to have them fix it and they said it was 6800 miles out of powertrain warranty.

I own a 2007 Mazda cx7 and it was been at the dealer every month this summer and I'm on my second loner car. The trouble started last summer with pinging and turbo lag. That seemed to stop and the dealer said that it was a software issue. But this summer we have had three separate issues. 1. Transfer case leak. Fixed. 2. Engine stabilizer leak. Fixed. 3. Variable valve timing actuator vvta. Currently in shop. Car loudly "growls" to life, squeaky belt, difficulty starting, told by dealer that will eventually cause engine trouble if not fixed. This has all been since July!!! we are just shy of 30k and the warranty expires next month. I am very afraid that something else will go wrong and we will end up paying for it. Upon reading a few cx7 web sites and blogs, it has become clear that this vvta issue will lead to a timing belt failure and engine loss. I have a little less then 30,000 miles on this car and bought it new. Unfortunately this seems to be a relatively common occurrence in the 2007 model. Please issue a recall so that this defect can be addressed prior to engine failure and not at owners expense. Thank you!.
