Risk. An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy. Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed. Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator with an alternate one, free of charge. The recall began December 3, 2019.

Ball joints , control arms , wheel barrings broke into pieces. Tire was angled in grinding on the brakes and rotor. It was bought at a auction from a previous auction buyer. I bought a new frame for the back due to it being bent. I also replaced the exhaust pipe it was cut into pieces. I was very concerned with the lower control arm parts being warn out. The dangers of the ball joints or the barring falling apart would have left me in a dier tragedy. I did have a mechanic replace the parts. He did damage to them so I had to uninstall parts and assemble them as precise as should be. I also had to leave my car there was no way I was able to move it without a part busting off. It is being maintained part by part . Its a hassle . I do believe parts were being swapped without me knowing. That is very concerning . I also replaced the tire .

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR REPAIRS NOR WAS IT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO ASSISTANCE PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,000.

I HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE SUSPENSION I KNOW THE MAZDA CX 7 HAS A RECALL BEFORE I BUY THIS CAR, HOW I CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER FIXES THE PROBLEM AND ATTEND THE SUSPENSION RECALL ISSUE. I NEED A LETTER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OR WHO I NEED TO CONTACT. I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH ALL THE ISSUES I HAVE. IS A SAFETY RISK FOR ME AND MY FAMILY WHENEVER I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE I HEAR A SOUND UNDER IS LIKE SOMETHING IS BROKEN AND IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE. I HOPE YOU CAN GIVE ME MORE INFO.

BOTH REAR BRAKE LIGHT BULBS MELTED THROUGH THE LIGHT ENCASING.

HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. INSIDE HOUSING FOR HEADLIGHTS IS MELTED FROM OVERHEATING, MAKING HEADLIGHTS INEFFECTIVE. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS NOT SAFE AND DOWN RIGHT DANGEROUS. VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL YEARS OF THIS VEHICLE.

MY CX-7 WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE BALL JOINT RECALL. THE BALL JOINT HAD FAILED PRIOR TO GETTING THE BALL JOINT REPLACED. AS A RESULT THERE WERE A LOT MORE REPAIRS THAT WERE REQUIRED. IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR SINCE THE BALL JOINTS WERE REPAIRED. REPAIR DATE WAS 1/25/2017. ACCORDING TO MORRIE'S CHIPPEWA VALLEY MAZDA IN LAKE HALLIE, WI, MY LEFT BALL JOINT IS ALREADY LOOSE. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS RECALL WAS TO ADDRESS THE BALL JOINTS FAILING PREMATURELY. IT SHOULD HAVE LASTED MORE THAN A YEAR. MAZDA SAYS THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE RECALL REPLACEMENT. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE RECALL IF THEY CANNOT FIX THE ISSUE? SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN REPLACING THE AIRBAG THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. WHEN TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK FOR SECOND AIRBAG REPLACEMENT THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE LIGHT HAD COME ON. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS A COINCIDENCE AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THEY HAD JUST WORKED ON THE SYSTEM. I WONDER IF THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AND WHAT IS THE FAIL RATE OF THE SEAT SENSOR AT THE TIME OF WORK BEING DONE OR IF THIS IS A WAY TO RECOUP MONEY FOR THE SERVICE.

BOUGHT THE CAR JULY 30 2016. LEFT FRONT CONTROL ARM BROKE CAUSING LOST STEERING AND ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO THE CAR. HAD THE CAR REPAIRED AT A SHOP JULY 20 2017. GOT A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE SAME ISSUE SEPT 2017. JUST HAD THE CAR REPAIRED AS PER THE RECALL 08/09/2018 BUT NOW MAZDA DOES NOT WANT TO REIMBURSE FOR THE PRIOR REPAIRS MADE SINCE IT WAS AFTER THE AUGUST 10 2016 DATE ON THE RECALL AND CAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE BANK STATEMENT FROM BACK THEN SHOWING IT WAS PAID ON MY VISA. I SENT THEM THE INVOICE FROM THE GARAGE THAT IS CLEARLY MARKED PAID VISA. THE BREAKAGE HAPPENED ON THE STREET I LIVE ON, WIFE AND I WERE ON OUR WAY TO MEET WITH FAMILY FOR SUPPER. THE CAR WAS JUST DRIVEN HOME BY MYSELF FROM WORK ON A 65MPH 4 LANE HIGHWAY LESS THEN A HOUR PRIOR, THANK GOD IT DIDN'T BREAK AT THOSE SPEEDS. THE ROAD MAKES A SLIGHT TURN TO THE RIGHT WHEN I HEARD A BANG AND THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE CAR DROPPED. ONCE I SAFELY GOT THE CAR STOPPED WITH STEERING FOUND THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AT A 90 DEGREE ANGEL WITH THE FENDER ON TOP OF IT. DRIVE SHAFT WAS TORN OUT FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND TIE RODS WERE BENT.

A/C COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. ALL PARTS NEEDED TO REPLACE IS COMPRESSOR/CONDENSER-DRYER/EXPANSION VALVE. TOTAL OF $2778.00 WORKING FINE. STOPPED AT STORE 15 MIN. START BACK UP AND NO A/C

TAKATA RECALL AND HORN AND PASSENGER DOOR LOCK. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE SUSPENSION RECALL AND AIR BAGS TO GALPIN IN VAN NUYS CA. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND THE SUSPENSION WAS DONE BUT NOT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE REASON FROM THE MAZDA SERVICE MGR WAS SINCE MY PASSENGER DOOR IS BROKEN ( THE LOCK) HE COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR SO HE DID NOT WORK ON THE AIR BAG. I CAN NOT AFFORD THE 200.00 THAT IT WILL TAKE TO FIX AND REPLACE MY PASSENGER DOOR LOCK. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE MY DOOR FIXED BY MAZDA AND THEN DO THE REPAIR WORK ON THE RECALLED AIR BAG. THE DOOR LOCK JUST BROKE ON ITS OWN AND I PAID CASH FOR MY CAR BRAND BMW FROM GALPIN. ALSO I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY MAZDA EMBLEM IN THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL BLEW OFF AND LANDED IN NY LAP!! I WAS NOT USING THE HORN. I NOW HAVE NO HORN AND HAVE LOOKED AT THE FUSE AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT HAPPEN HERE. YOU CAN SEE THAT MY MAZDA EMBLEM IS BROKEN ALL THE WAY AROUND THIS PIECE?? SOMEONE SAID THAT SINCE THERE IS AN AIR BAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL I NEED TO BUY A NEW STEERING WHEEL? REALLY? I AM A SENIOR ON MY SOCIAL SECURITY RETIREMENT ..I AM NOT ABLE TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS FIXED AT HUNDREDS AN HUNDEDS OF DOLLARS. HOWEVER IF MY AIR BAG HAS A RECALL AND THEY DIDN'T FIX IT SINCE MY DOOR LOCK IS BROKEN AND THEY COULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR. WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST I DO? PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY INFO YOU HAVE AT [XXX] OR EMAIL AT: [ XXX] THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM

I READ ANTICLE SAY THAT MAZDA WILL RECALL CX 7 INCLUDING YEAR 2008. WHEN I CALL THEM TODAY THEY SAID NO SUCH KIND OF RECALL. I READ A LOTS OF ARTICLE COMPLAINING MAZDA CX-7 REGARDING OF THESE TWO ISSUE. HOPE YOUR DEPARTMENT CAN FOLLOW UP TO PROTECT CONSUMER.

AFTER BRINGING TO MAZDA FOR TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL, AND LOWER ROCKER ARMS RECALL, I WAS TOLD MY TIMING CHAIN SHOULD BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1300 PLUS TAX!!! A MAZDA TECH. SAID HE KNEW FOR SURE THAT WAS THE ISSUE JUST FROM LISTENING TO THE NOISE. MY HOW KNOWLEDGEABLE FOR A GUESS. I STARTED RESEARCHING THIS, AND SEE THAT A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED IN 2012 REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AND IT WENT NO FURTHER. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN GET FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND IF MAZDA WILL PICK UP THIS BILL. I SEE A HUGE AMOUNT OF FOLKS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE VVT ALSO, AND MAZDA HAS DONE NOTHING. I WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE THIS ISSUE FURTHER. CAN YOU HELP, OR DIRECT ME ON HOW TO DO SO? I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE THAT I HAVE HAD FROM NEW AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN IT NEEDS A $1300 PLUS REPAIR? I AM DISSAPIONTED IN MAZDA AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS, THE DANGER THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE, AND THE FACT THEY DONT CARE.

CALLED TODAY TO SCHEDULE BUT THEY SAID, MAZDA PUT A HOLD ON ALL REPAIRS SINCE THE AIRBAGS THE PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED WAS JUST A TEMPORARY FIX AND THEY ARE STILL WAITING ON THE PERMANENT SOLUTION.

IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 MY RIGHT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. WENT TO PURCHASE A $100 BULB AND WHEN THE MECHANIC WENT TO REPLACE IT HE ADVISED THE BULB COULD NOT BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE HOUSING TO HOLD THE BULB WAS MELTED. HE ADVISED THIS IS ABNORMAL FOR THE HOUSING TO MELT AND MOST VEHICLES WOULD NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, HE ADVISED HE HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN A LOT WITH CX-7 VEHICLES. HE SUGGESTED THAT I REACH OUT TO MAZDA FOR ASSISTANCE SINCE THIS, HE FELT, WAS A DEFECT OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. I CALLED MAZDA FILED THE COMPLAINT HOWEVER THE REP SET EXPECTATIONS FOR A CALL BACK THAT I NEVER RECEIVED. FAST FORWARD, THE LEFT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS DOING THE SAME. I CALLED MAZDA AND SPOKE WITH CHRISTOPHER AND HE SAID MAZDA COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME BECAUSE THEY APPARENTLY SENT ME AN E-CERTIFICATE LAST NOVEMBER WHEN I CALLED IN ABOUT THE RIGHT SIDE ASSEMBLY. I ADVISED HIM THAT I DID NOT RECEIVE IT AND EMAILED IT TO ME AGAIN. I ASKED HIM WHAT ASSISTANCE COULD BE PROVIDED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RIGHT SIDE ASSEMBLY AND HE ADVISED THERE WASN'T ANY. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE I COULD NOT SIMPLY JUST REPLACE THE BULB, THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY FOR BOTH SIDES NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN SPOKE WITH THOM AND HE ALSO DENIED ASSISTANCE. I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNFAIR. THE HOUSING WHICH HOLDS THE BULB MELTING IN BOTH ASSEMBLIES HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT AND I THINK MAZDA SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THERE IS NOTHI
