EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN GOING OUT FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AND I FINALLY REALIZED I SHOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT. I'VE CHANGE THE LOW BEAM BULBS MULTIPLE TIMES (I DO NOT TOUCH THE BULB WITH MY HAND) AND EVERY FEW MONTHS THE BULB GOES BAD. THIS HAPPENS SO FREQUENTLY THAT I KEEP A SPARE BULB IN MY GLOVE COMPARTMENT. I'VE READ MANY MESSAGE BOARDS STATING THEIR MAZDA HAS SIMILAR ISSUES. THERE HAS TO BE SOME OTHER SOLUTION RATHER THAN SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON BULBS OR GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO CHANGE.

ENGINE
I TOOK MY 2009 MAZDA CX-7 (108,000 MILES) IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TO SEE WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON. I WAS INFORMED THE TURBO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT I NEEDED TO GET A NEW CAR IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS HESITANT TO LET ME LEAVE IN THE CAR AS IT COULD STOP WORKING AT ANY TIME AND BECAUSE I DO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING THIS IS PARTICULARLY ALARMING. NO REMEDY WAS OFFERED AND I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T WORTH REPAIRING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CX-7 AND A DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS AROUND WHEN THE CARS STOP WORKING DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH THE TURBO. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY CAR HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL SINCE MAY 2016. BY MANUFACTORS DIRECTION, I SHOULD NOT USE THE CAR BECAUSE OF DANGER TO PASSINGERS. WE ARE A 2 PERSON FAMILY, AND THIS IS OUR ONLY TRANSPORT. FIVE (5) MONTHS HAS PUT A SERIOUS STRAIN ON US. I BELIEVE THIS DEFECT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER.

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

I WANT TO IMPLORE YOU TO MAKE MAZDA RECALL THIS MAKE/MODEL, WITH THEM KNOWING THEY HAVE A FAULTY VVT/TIMING CHAIN ISSUE, THAT HAS AFFECTED HUNDREDS,IF NOT THOUSANDS OF CAR OWNERS, PUTTING THEIR SAFETY AT RISK. I HAVE NOT MYSELF, HAD THE ISSUES YET, THAT ARE WELL DOCUMENTED,BUT UNFORTUNATELY I DID PURCHASE THIS CAR, AND IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT MAZDA WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM.
