TAKATA RECALL- I'M IN ZONE B OF THE RECALL (WAS FIRST NOTIFIED IN JULY 2016). MY 2007 CAR IS NOW IN THE 10-15 YEAR WINDOW WHERE DEGRADATION IS PROJECTED TO OCCUR, SO I AM HESITANT TO DRIVE IT ANY LONGER SINCE I FREQUENT TRANSPORT MULTIPLE PASSENGERS. HOW DO I KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER THIS WILL TAKE? I HAVE TRIED TO CALL MAZDA'S HOTLINE, BUT THE WAIT TIME IS ALWAYS 45+ MINUTES. THERE HAVE BEEN NO UPDATES TO THE INFORMATION SINCE THE RECALL ON MAZDA'S RECALL INFO WEBSITE.

I HAVE A 2007 MAZDA CX7 I'VE SEEN ALOT OF RECALLS BUT ONE COMPLAINT I AM CONSTANTLY SEEING IS THE TURBO FAILURE AND LEAKING AN INDECENT AMOUNT OF OIL CAUSING AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. I AM IN A SITUATION NOW WHERE MY TURBO IS LEAKING ALOT OF OIL AND ALOT OF CX7 OWNER ARE GETTING GOOD THEIR TURBOS REPLACED MORE THAN THREE TIMES. I VERY LOOKED INTO TEARS PROBLEM AND APPARENTLY MAZDA HAS CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION THAT HAS REROUTED THE AIR PRESSURE TO THE TURBO BY SUPPLYING A VENTILATION KIT THAT COSTS $2,226 JUST FOR PARTS THAT'S INCLUDING THE TURBO AND $826 FOR LABOR..I FEEL THAT IF THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM THEY SHOULD TELL CONSUMERS ABOUT IT IF YOUR DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOOSES POWER IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT...AND I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE TURBO IS A VERY POOR DESIGN. *TR

MY CAR HAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE FRONT SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT. AND THERE ARE NO PARTS YET AVAILABLE ACCORDING TO ONLINE MAZDA.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS AND OTHER MAZDA CAR MODELS HAS GONE ON TOO LONG. AFTER RECEIVING NOTIFICATION IN JULY OF THIS YEAR, I WENT ONLINE AND DISCOVERED AIR BAG COMPLAINTS DATING BACK TO 2008!. THE FACT THAT MAZDA IGNORED THESE COMPLAINTS, WAITING MORE THAN EIGHT YEARS TO CONDUCT A MASSIVE AIR BAG RECALL IS UNTENABLE. THE ANXIETY PRODUCED BY DRIVING WITH FRONT-SEAT PASSENGERS IS A SERIOUS DISTRACTION FOR ANYONE WHO OWNS ONE OF THESE VEHICLES; FOLLOWING THE MANUFACTURER'S ADVICE TO DISALLOW FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS HAS BECOME AN INCONVENIENCE. FOR MANY DRIVERS, LOSS OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT AN OPTION ; THIS HAS GONE ON FOR TOO LONG WITHOUT NOTICE OF RESOLUTION BY MAZDA. I AM DEMANDING THAT MAZDA BEGIN REPLACING PASSENGER AIR BAGS IMMEDIATELY.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

HI, WE BOUGHT MAZDA CX-7 GRAND TOURING [VIN# LAST 8 DIGITS: [XXX] USED CAR DURING OCT 2014 IN FREMONT. THE CAR HAD AROUND 84K MILES. WE SPENT AROUND $13K THINKING GOOD FIT FOR KIDS SCHOOL DROP IN SHORT DISTANCE. HARDLY USED < 9K MILES IN 2 YEARS. TIMELY SERVICE HAS BEEN DONE. HOWEVER, RECENTLY SEEING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH CODE P0303 [ENGINE-3] MISSFIRES. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, PERFORM FLUID SYSTEM CLEANING, REPLACE THROTTLE BODY SPENDING CLOSE TO $1500+. CHECK ENGINE STILL STAYS ON EVEN AFTER THIS'. NOW FREMONT MAZDA DEALER RECOMMENDING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE [WHICH COSTS AROUND $9K]. LATER DID SOME STUDY ON WEB AND LEARNT THAT MAZDA CX-7 IS VERY WELL KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUES AND THAT IS THE REASON MAZDA HAS DISCONTINUED THE CX-7 MODEL KNOWING INTERNAL TURBO RELATED ISSUES. CUSTOMERS BUY CARS BASED ON SEARCH AND RELIABILITY CONSIDERING LONG TERM USAGE [LIKE OTHER CARS WHICH RUNS MORE THAN 150K MILES] AND NOT EXPECTED THIS. IT'S PAIN TO SEE NOT HARDLY USED 10K+ MILES EVEN AFTER SPENDING $15K. MAZDA SHOULD ACCEPT THEIR ENGINE DESIGN ISSUE AND DO SOME CREDIT TO LOST COSTUMER. TO KEEP THIS CUSTOMER [ME] WITH MAZDA, MAZDA SHOULD REFUND THE TOTAL CUSTOMER EXPENSES AND ALLOW HIM TO BY NEW MAZDA LATEST VERSION BY PAYING DIFFERENCE AMOUNT. HAVE ATTACHED RECENT DOCUMENTS FROM FREMONT-MAZDA DEALER FOR YOUR REVIEW AND SUPPORT. HIGHLY APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND HELPING THE CUSTOMER.

AIRBAG RECALL ISSUED. LETTER ADVISED THAT VEHICLE OWNER SHOULD NOT TO CONTACT MAZDA. MAZDA WOULD CONTACT VEHICLE OWNER ONCE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. WORK AROUND OUTLINED IN THE LETTER STATED THAT NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HOWEVER, THE LETTER EXPLICITLY STATES THAT DEATH OR INJURY COULD RESULT FOR THE DRIVER OR OTHER VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, NOT JUST FRONT PASSENGER. SO, THE WORKAROUND PROVIDED IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE LETTER IS DATED TWO MONTHS AGO. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY MAZDA. REPAIRS MUST BE MADE IMMEDIATELY.

TAKATA RECALL: DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT IS COMING ON WHILE DRIVING, SO FAR ON CITY STREETS. SINCE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, CONCERNED THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH DRIVER SIDE, AS WELL.

WHILE TURNING RIGHT ONTO A CITY STREET THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT FAILED. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS SIGNS THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN, EG. SLOPPY WHEEL OR UNEVEN WEAR ON TIRE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CX SERIES AND IS A CURRENT RECALL WITH THE CX9.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA CX-7. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V356000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE OF 2016.

I TOOK THE CAR IN THE HAVE THE AC COMPRESSOR REPLACED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. JUNE 9 I LOST ALL COLD AIR AND DONE ACCELERATION. I THOUGHT THE TWO WERE RELATED BUT WE'RE NOT. MY CAR WOULD SOMETIMES DRIVE AS NORMAL AND OTHER TIMES UNEXPECTEDLY SLOW DOWN TO 25 MPH IN A 60 MPH ZONE AND I COULDN'T SPEED UP. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC. HE SAID THE TURBO WAS GOING OUT. THEN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THEN THE GASKET. IT'S HAD MULTIPLE OIL LEAKS. THIS CAR IS COSTING ME MORE THAN ITS WORTH.

I JUST BUY BUT THE ENGINE MAKE A NOISE LIKE DIESEL, MECHANIC SAY IS THE TIMMING CHAIN AND COMPONENTS AND VVT VALVLE

TOOK MY CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. COMPUTER REGISTERS THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH INTAKE BUT, ONCE REMOVED IT WORKS FINE. CHECKED EGR VENTILATION SYSTEM WORKS FINE. CAR STILL CUTS OUT DURING ACCELERATION. IDLES VERY HIGH HE INFORMED ME THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH MY COMPUTER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. I NEED SOME INFORMATION PERTAINING TO MAZDA RECALL.

MY DAUGHTER WITH HER NEWBORN INFANT HAD THE VECHILE STALL ON THEM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE CAR HAS 60,000.00 MILES AND IS METICULOUS MAINTAINED. WE BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE AT A COST 9,000.00. I OPENED A CASE WITH MAZDA CORPORATE CASE #1-290023-832 AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS AN 9 YEAR VECHILE AND THEY CAN ONLY OFFER AN EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT ON A NEW CAR OR 1,5000. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A MANUFACTURER DEFECTIVE. MY DAUGHTER AND HER CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. PLEASE ASSIST.

I PURCHASED A 2007 MAZDA CX-7, 3 YEARS AGO. I HAVE TAKEN PRISTINE CARE OF MY VEHICLE AS I HAVE ALWAYS. I AM A FAN OF MAZDA AND HAVE OWNED OTHERS IN MY LIFETIME. HOWEVER, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN MAZDA CX-7. I HAVE ALWAYS PUT PREMIUM GAS IN MY VEHICLE, REGULAR OIL CHANGES, AND HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT A MAZDA DEALERSHIP TO MAKE SURE IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF PROPERLY. NONETHELESS, LAST WEEK I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHY? BECAUSE OF THE CONSISTENT PROBLEMS I SEEM TO FIND ONLINE. MY TURBO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AMONG OTHER THINGS THAT COINCIDE WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND SEE THAT MAZDA ONLY POINTS FINGERS BACK TO THE CONSUMER. BUT I AM GOING TO POINT MY FINGER AT THE POOR DESIGN. MUST BE WHY MAZDA NO LONGER MAKE THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THIS IS MAZDA'S ISSUE NOT MINE. THE CAR CANNOT BE TOTALED OUT BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY BECAUSE IT IS 'A MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN'. I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE AND THE COST TO REPAIR IS WELL OVER THE BLUE BOOK VALUE OF THE CAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. MAZDA JUST KEEPS POINTING THE FINGERS BACK AT US, EVEN IF THE CAR WAS TAKEN CARE OF?!?! IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR MAZDA CX-7 AND MAZDA CX 9 TO HAVE TURBOCHARGER AND ENGINE PROBLEMS, I DO NOT SEE WHY THE REPAIRS ARE PUT BACK ON US.

TIMING CHAIN CAUSED BENT VALVES AND HEAD NEEDED TO BE FIXED. STUPID DESIGNED ENGINE. MAZDA WON'T RECALL HUNDREDS OF CARS AFFECTED BY THIS. NEVER BUYING A MAZDA AGAIN.

IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATING ON THE DASH AND ALSO THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY LIGHT NOT ILLUMINATING AT ALL. I THEN HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND IT IS THE THERMOSTAT THAT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE TECH AT THE AUTO SHOP SAID THAT THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON WITH MAZDA CX-7. IF THAT IS THE CASE, WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED? I HAVE READ THROUGH HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES ONLINE STATING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND THE THERMOSTAT.

WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND TURNING OUT OF A BUSINESS AND INTO TRAFFIC THE RIGHT, FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM SEPARATED FROM THE BALL JOINT CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR CX9'S AND I AM UNSURE WHY THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED IN THE CX7.

CAR POPPED AND THEN SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE HOOD AND CAUGHT ON FIRE BURNT CAR UP.

DECEMBER 2015 I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP (AAA SERVICE SAID TO DO SO BECAUSE OF THE NOISE AND FEAR THE VVT WOULD BREAK WHILE IN MOTION) TO REPLACE THE VVT (TIMING CHAIN) AND VALVE COVER GASKETS - PAYING OUT OF POCKET. AS OF TODAY, 2/12/16, THE SAME NOISE, BUT LOUDER, STILL OCCURS WHEN I START THE CAR AND DRIVE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND WAS ON WHEN I TOOK IT IN. NO MENTION OF WAS MADE. ALSO, WHEN I RECEIVED MY RECEIPT, THEY HAD THE MILEAGE WRONG BY 20,000 MILES (POTENTIALLY AFFECTING CARFAX REPORTS) , AND INDICATED ON THE SHEET THAT OTHER AREAS SUCH AS LIGHTS WERE FINE AND THEY WERE NOT. THEY DID MENTION THAT MY TURBO MAY NEED REPLACING SOON (ANOTHER CONSISTENT COMPLAINT). THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED IN NJ REGARDING THIS AND IT WAS THROWN OUT. WHY ISN'T THE GOVERNMENT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT ALL OF THESE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS? WHERE DO I GO SINCE I JUST DON'T TRUST MAZDA DEALERSHIPS?

I HAVE A 2007 MAZDA CX7, MY VEHICLE HAS 71,000 MILES I HAVE NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I VISIT THREE MECHANICS AND ALL THREE MECHANICS ARE TELLING ME IT'S THE VVT TIMING CHAIN. THE COST THE REPAIR MY VEHICLE IS $3,000 TO $4,000 DOLLARS. I CONTACT THE MAZDA DEALER AND BECAUSE I HAVE NO WARRANTY I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. SO I BEGIN TO DO MY RESEARCH ONLINE. I REALIZED THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER MAZDA CX7 OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS I. WHAT A COINCIDENCE MAZDA HAS DISCONTINUED MANUFACTURING THE MAZDA CX7. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE AND MAZDA NEEDS TO OWN UP FOR IT. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR VEHICLES DUE TO THIS VVT TIMING CHAIN ISSUE AND MAZDA NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A RE-CALL. I KNOW ONE THING I HOPE AND PRAY NOTHING HAPPENS TO ME WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I WILL NOT HESITATE TO FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE MAZDA CORP. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ALL OF US WHO ARE CURRENT OWNERS OF MAZDA CX7. I WILL USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO SPREAD AWARENESS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA CX-7. MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES FLICKERED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN BELT AND THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY. THE DEALER PROVIDED NO INVOICE OF THE REPAIRS. MONTHS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND THE CONTACT WAS TO TOW THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO DETERMINE WHAT PARTS THEY ACTUALLY REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,366.

FIRST THE AIR CON COMPRESSOR WENT OUT,NOW THE AIR BAGS LIGHTS STAYS ON.THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ALSO ON.MAZDA NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES.THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE FROM THE BEGINNING.

WHILE DRIVING ON COLORADO STATE HIGHWAY 91 AT APPROX 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DIED. THE ENGINE CEASED WORKING, ALL SYSTEMS CEASED IMMEDIATELY. I WAS UNABLE EVEN TO SAFELY PULL THE CAR ONTO THE SHOULDER, THE LOSS OF POWER WAS SO COMPLETE AND SO SUDDEN. THE VEHICLE WAS 200 MILES FROM MY HOME, AND 250 MILES FROM THE CLOSEST DEALER AT THAT POINT, SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST GARAGE THAT WOULD LOOK AT IT, ABOUT 60 MILES AWAY. THAT GARAGE EVALUATED THE CAR AND STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKEN AND A NEW ENGINE WOULD BE REQUIRED, AT APPROXIMATELY $6,000 TO $8,000. I PHONED THE CLOSEST MAZDA DEALER, IN DENVER, AND ASKED WHAT THEY RECOMMENDED. THEY ALSO STATED THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, AT A COST OF $8,000 TO $9,000. I CONTACTED THE GARAGE CLOSEST TO MY HOME AND ASKED THEIR ADVICE. THEY STATED THEY HAD EXPERIENCE REPLACING THE TIMING CHAINS AND REPAIRING ENGINE DAMAGE IN OTHER VEHICLES AND THAT THEY COULD DIAGNOSE WHETHER THAT WAS AN OPTION. THEIR GUESS ON COST WAS BETWEEN $2,000 AND $4,000 IF THE REPAIR WERE POSSIBLE AND THERE WAS NOT TOO MUCH DAMAGE TO VALVES. SINCE THE SHOP THAT IS 25 MILES FROM MY HOME RECOMMENDED REPAIR AT LESS THAN 1/2 THE COST OF THE DEALER 200 MILES FROM MY HOME, I ELECTED TO TAKE IT THERE. UPON RESEARCH I FOUND 1. THE VIN # IS ONE IN A SERIES WITH KNOWN TIMING CHAIN FAILURE, AND THAT A HEAVIER DUTY ONE HAD BEEN ISSUED TO REPLACE; 2. THE DEALER HAD REPLACED THE VVT PREVIOUSLY AND SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN AT THAT TIME ACCOR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACETHE AC COMPRESSOR PUMP THIS WILL BE THE THIRD ONE. I CANT AFFORD $700.00 DOLLARS PER PUMP AND IT ONLU LAST FOR 8 MONTHS. I SEEN ALL THE COMPLAINT PEOPLE HAVE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. WHEN IS MAZDA GOING TO STEP UP AND HELP US RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEVER BUY OR RECOMMEND A MAZDA TO ANYONE. BETWEEN THAT AND THE TURBO THEY ARE JUNK AND NOT DEPEDABLE AT ALL.
