I TOOK MY 2007 MAZDA CX7 FOR SERVICE AND TWO SAFETY RECALLS, LAST YEAR. THE REPLACED THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS AT THE FRONT END. THEY ALSO DID THE SAFETY RECALL 9516E=PASSENGER AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. AFTER A WHILE THE AIR BAG DASH RED LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR A WHILE. MY CX7 HAS 97,500 MILES AND NOW MY ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IS A DIESEL ENGINE WHEN I AM AT A STOP TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT SEEMS LIKE THE TIMING CHAIN IS STRETCHING. THEY HAVE NOT ADDED THIS VARIABLE VALVE TIMING DEFECT AS A SAFETY RECALL, AFTER ALL THIS IS A FORD ENGINE AND I WAS EXPECTING THIS MAZDA TO LAST UP TO THE 200,000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL - I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR FOR THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE TAKATA AIRBAG BUT THEY TELL ME THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND I'VE RECEIVED MANY MANY NOTIFICATIONS BY REGULAR MAIL ABOUT THIS. THE DEALER IS FLAGSHIP MAZDA IN SAN JUAN PUERTO RICO. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN IMPORTANT REPLACEMENT AND THAT PEOPLE HAD DIED FROM THIS ISSUE. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT I'VE CALLED THREE TIMES IN ONE YEAR AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER PHONE NUMBER IS (787)620-7546, (787)620-6981 FLAGSHIP MAZDA IN SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO. (I STILL HAVE NO INCIDENT AT THE MOMENT).

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY ENGINE LIGHT ON AND MY CAR HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AS WELL AS SOMETIMES SHAKING WHILE STOP IN A LIGHT FOR A WHILE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA CX-7. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V429000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (TASCA MAZDA IN SEEKONK, MASSACHUSETTS) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.

MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY NHTSA RECALL #: 16V-593 RECALL DATE: 08/10/16. IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE THE RECALL AND MAZDA STILL DOES NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR MY CAR. MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY MAZDA RECALL #: 1317F NHTSA RECALL #: 17V-429 . IT HAS BEEN ONCE YEAR SINCE THE RECALL AND MAZDA STILL DOES NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR MY CAR. I BELIEVE THAT MAZDA HAS NO INTENTION OF EVER REPAIRING MY VEHICLE.
