2010 Mazda CX-7 complaints

I WAS STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING ON MY DRIVEWAY. I SWITCHED THE CAR ON R AND I START TO BACK UP. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL , I REALIZED I HAVE NO BRAKE POWER. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP THE CAR. I HAD TO USED THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP IT. I'VE TRIED FOR 5 MINUTES TO SEE IF BRAKES ARE WORKING WITH NO RESULT. THEY WERE DEAD!! WHEN THE CARD WAS STARTED , THERE WAS NO MALFUNCTION INDICATOR ON THE DASH.2 MONTHS BEFORE THIS, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP REPORTING THAT BRAKING PERFORMANCE DECREASED A LOT. THEY INVESTIGATED THE CAR AND FOUND "NO DEFECT" AND TOLD ME THE CAR IS WORKING AS IT SHOULD...YEAS SURE!! MY LUCK WAS THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR ON THE ROADS. IMAGINE LOOSING BRAKE AR 60 MPH. *TR

FLUID HAS BEEN LEAKING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR. AFTER DRIVING FOR EVEN SHORT DISTANCES THE FLUID SEEMS TO DROP ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE OR SOME OTHER HOT METAL AND BURNS WITH AN ACRID SMELL AND A MINOR AMOUNT OF SMOKE. I HAVE A CONCERN THAT A FIRE MAY START FROM THE BURNING FLUID. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER FOR A REPAIR TO THE TRANSFER CASE, WHICH IS LEAKING FLUID, BUT IT IS PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND THE COST WILL BE OVER $1000. THERE IS A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF THE TRANSFER CASE SEALS. *TR

2010 MAZDA CX-7 WAITING ON THE GREEN LIGHT WAS HIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE WITHOUT SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING. I HAVE PHOTOS IF THIS WOULD HELP. POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS WERE CONFUSED AS TO WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FROM FRONT PILLAR TO REAR DOOR WAS IMPACTED. THE FRONT PILLAR HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

2010 MAZDA CX7. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE DESIGN OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND INDICATORS, IN BLACK AND WHITE IS VERY POORLY DESIGNED *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED IN BRIGHT DAY LIGHT, WITH BRIGHTNESS CONTROL AT ITS TOP SETTING, IT WAS STILL COMPLETELY DARK AND IT WAS LIKE LOOKING INTO A BLACK HOLE. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA CX-7. WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY READING THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IN THE BRIGHT SUNLIGHT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE GAUGES WERE DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT BECAUSE THEY WERE ILLUMINATED WITH A WHITE LIGHTING. FURTHERMORE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPACE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL WERE TOO CLOSE MAKING IT HARD TO DEPRESS THE CORRECT PEDAL WHILE DRIVING. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 700. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 414.
