MAZDA Complaints

WHEN AC OR HEAT WAS ON AT ANY SPEED, IT WOULD RUN FOR A FEW MINS. THEN STOP BLOWING OUT AIR BEFORE SLOWLY DYING OUT. IT WOULD MAKE NOISE LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO WORK AGAIN, BUT THEN WOULDN'T. TOOK IT TO MAZDA DEALERSHIP. THEY DID "TEST ON AC/HVAC SYSTEM & FOUND FAULTY CONTROL HEAD DUE TO ELECTRICAL FAILURE." THEY INSTALLED A HEATER CONTROL & THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED FOR A WHILE. 3 MONTHS LATER SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THE "HVAC BLOWER MOTOR WAS TRIPPING OUT ON INTERNAL THERMAL OVERLOAD" SO THEY REPLACED THE HVAC BLOWER MOTOR. WHILE THAT WAS GETTING FIXED, I ALSO HAD THEM LOOK INTO ANOTHER PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. THE TCS/DSC LIGHT WOULD STAY LIT FOR 10-15 MINS AFTER I STARTED MY CAR AND SOMETIMES WOULD JUST RANDOMLY COME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP DID TEST & FOUND "CODE C0034 - RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL RATE OUT OF RANGE & C0027, C0048 - RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT OPEN, TECH MONITORED SENSOR & FOUND INTERNAL SENSOR FAILURE. CORRECTED BY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. INSTALLED GS3L-43-70X: RIGHT FRONT ABS SENSOR."

THE BRAKES ARE HARD TO DEPRESS AND THE CAR IS DIFFICULT TO STOP. IF I START THE CAR AND DEPRESS ON THE BRAKES AT A STANDSTILL, THE PEDAL FELLS HARD AND GOES DOWN REALLY FAR WILL I HEAR A "WHISTLING" SOUND AND ALSO A "HISSING" LIKE IF AIR IS ESCAPING.

ON THE DAY OF APRIL 22, 2015, WHILE DRIVING MY CAR(2007 MAZDA CX-7) OFF A FREEWAY RAMP, THE CAR BEGAN TO RATTLE AS IF IT WAS BEING PUSHED BY A WIND. I SMELLED SMOKE COMING FROM THE INSIDE COMPARTMENT OF THE CABIN AREA OF THE CAR. I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR WON'T STOP! FLAMES WAS COMING FROM THE CAR AND THAT'S WHEN THE CAR FINALLY STOP. THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT I THOUGHT THAT I WAS GOING TO ALMOST CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE OFF RAMP OF THE FREEWAY. THE MECHANIC CHECKED THE ENGINE AND STATED THAT THE ENGINE LOCKED UP WHICH CAUSED A LOW COMPRESSION TO THE ENGINE CAUSING THE VVT BELT TIMING TO DAMAGE THE VALVES IN THE ENGINE. I CHANGED THE OIL IN THE VEHICLE, AND HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVED ON A REGULAR BASIS, BUT NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THAT. I DID RESEARCH ON THIS VEHICLE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THERE NEEDS TO BE A INVESTIGATION, REIMBURSEMENT, RETRIBUTION, AND RECALL ORDERS DISPERSED OUT TO OWNERS OF THE CX-7 MODEL FROM 2007 TO 2012 SO THAT MAZDA CAN REDEEM THEIR QUALITY OF SERVICE AND REPUTATION.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN FEBRUARY 2013 AND TWO TIMES SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN, THANKFULLY MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT IT WILL DO IT AGAIN BEFORE I EVEN PAY MY CAR OFF. JUST A MONTH AGO I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR IN BECAUSE MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I CHECKED MY ENGINE OIL AND THERE WAS NONE ON THE DIP STICK. CALLED THE PLACE I JUST CAME FROM GETTING MY OIL CHANGED THE WEEK BEFORE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE TURBO CHARGER WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND SUCKING ALL THE OIL OUT OF THE OIL PAN. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT COMMON FOR THAT MAKE AND MODEL... MY WARRANTY COVERED THE WORK BUT BARELY. I NOW HAVE 4,000 MILES LEFT ON MY WARRANTY.... WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MAZDA PERIOD!

WENT TO GET MY ANNUAL INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD THAT MY RIGHT REAR SHOCK TOWER IS RUSTED OUT.

MY MAZDA CX7 - 2008 HAS ONLY 44,000 MILES AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ONE AND AFTER BRINGING IT TO A MECHANIC AND CHECKING THE CODES WITH A COMPUTER, IT CAME UP THAT THE EGR VALVE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ALL THE MECHANICS THAT I TALKED WITH WERE REALLY SURPRISE AND ASKED ME IF THE MAZDA CX7 - 2008 HAS A RECALL ON THE EGV VALVE BECAUSE IT IS NOT NORMAL THAT WITH THAT LITTLE MILES THE EGR VALVE NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND I'M SEEING MANY OTHER OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK THERE IS A FACTORY DEFECT WITH THE EGR VALVE FOR THIS MODEL.
