ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A 2007 MAZDA CX-7 FOR TWO YEARS NOW, AT 48,000 MILES, MY AC COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP. THE AIR STARTED BLOWING WARM THEN STARTED SEEING SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I HAD TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SMELLED BURNING PLASTIC. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR GAVE OUT AND WOULD COST 1200 TO FIX. I READ ONLINE POSTS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND CLEARLY MAZDA IS SELLING A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. THE SMOKE IS A ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AND DANGEROUS IF IT LEADS TO FIRE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WE HAVE A 2007 MAZDA CX-7. WE WERE DRIVING HOME FROM CAMPING AND STARTED TO SMELL THIS HORRIBLE BURNING RUBBER SMELL COMING FROM THE TRUCK. AFTER A FEW MINS I STARTED SEEING SMOKE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOOD. AT THAT TIME OUR FRIENDS CALLED US. WE HAD THEM FOLLOWING FROM CAMPING. THEY SAID THEY SEEN ALOT OF SMOKE AND SMELLED SOMETHING BAD. WE GOT OFF AT FEDERAL WAY AND PULLED INTO A SHELL STATION TO LOOK AND GET GAS. MY HUSBAND LIFTS THE HOOD AND THERE IS A SMALL FIRE AND LOTS MORE SMOKE COMING FROM THE A/C COMPRESSOR. HE THEN NOTICES THAT THE SERPENTINE BELT IS ALMOST MELTED THREW. SO WE PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AND OUT OF THE WAY WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SNAP. THE BELT CAME OFF. SO WE HAD TO CALL MAZDA ROADSIDE SERVICE AND GET IT TOWED TO THE AUBURN DEALERSHIP. IT WAS SUNDAY NIGHT SO WE HAD TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY MORNING TO CALL. WE HAD OUR 3 YEAR OLD SON WITH US. WE THOUGHT WE WERE BUYING A SAFE CAR AND WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOMETHING LIKE A SMALL FIRE WITH 2007 SAFEST VEHICLE OF THE YEAR. NOW IT TURNS OUT OUR WARRANTY ENDED 2,000 MILES AGO WE HAVE 38,000 AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO TO HELP, OTHER THAN SAY ITS 1500 TO FIX YOUR CAR. WE ARE A SINGLE FAMILY INCOME AND THAT'S ALOT OF MONEY TO COME UP WITH. I HAVE FOUND OUT THERE ARE A HUNDRED OR SO PEOPLE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ALREADY? IT OBVIOUSLY CAUSES SMALL FIRES AND IS NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN. PLEASE CONSIDER RECALLING THE A/C COMPRESSORS, CLUTCH PACKS, AND SERPENTINE BELTS. MAZDA MUST KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEY HAVE A DEAL FOR THE PARTS. "GENUINE MAZDA CX-7 AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR WITH CLUTCH AND BELT NEW LOWER PRICE $484.85", BUT I WAS STILL QUOTED $1,500. *TR

I DRIVE A 2007 MAZDA CX-7. DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, I NOTICED MY AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOT AS COLD AS IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN. I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE AND CAME TO A STOP WHERE I NOTICED WHITE SMOKE FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY HOOD, I HEARD A LOUD AND UNPLEASANT NOISE AS WELL AS A HORRIBLE SMELL COMING FROM MY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK TO MY RESIDENCE; HOWEVER, AFTER TURNING MY CAR OFF IT WOULD NO LONGER START. I HAD TO TOW MY CAR TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. TURNS OUT THE AIR COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP AND THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR IS $900+. MY CAR HAS NOT YET TURNED 40,000 MILES. AFTER A COUPLE INTERNET SEARCHES (WWW.EDMUNDS.COM) IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS INSTANCE OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR LOCKING UP AND MAKING THE AUTOMOBILE UNUSABLE IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY PARTICULAR MODEL AND YEAR CAR. ALL OF THE SITUATIONS I READ ABOUT WERE ALSO ON CARS WITH LOW MILEAGE. *TR

A/C STOPPED WORKING - INSTEAD OF COLD, IT BLOWING HOT AIR - WHILE RETURNING FROM THE TRIP (~4HHS). AFTER THAT, ON ~45M/H ROAD - I FELT A SMELL AND SAW SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 MAZDA CX-7....... ABOUT 3 DAYS AGO THE A/C STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT..... I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND APPARENTLY THE A/C SYSTEM IN THE 2007 MAZDA CX-7 IS NOT EXACTLY UP TO PAR BECAUSE THE FOLLOWING YEAR THE A/C SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY RE-DONE ON ALL 2008 MAZDA CX-7..... NOW IM STUCK HERE IN BLAZING HOT TEXAS WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS BARELY 2 YEARS OLD AND I CANT AFFORD A NEW A/C COMPRESSOR...... ALSO I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MY CAR BREAKING DOWN DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN KNOWN TO SNAP BELTS... *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
DRIVING A 2007 MAZDA CX-7 WITH 36, 671 MILES ON IT WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND TURNED THE AIR ON, THERE WERE SPARKS AND SMOKE. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON IN THIS MODEL AND MAZDA HAS NOT RECALLED THIS PART. PART SPECIFICALLY IS THE AIR COMPRESSOR, IT LOCKS UP, STOPS THE ENGINE, AND TEARS UP THE SERPENTINE BELT. SINCE I AM OVER THE WARRANTY BY 600 MILES THIS WILL COST ME UPWARDS OF 2,000. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
IN MARCH, MY 2007 MAZDA CX-7 HAD AN AIR COMPRESSOR FAILURE. I WAS COMING OFF AN EXIT RAMP OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. I TURNED IT OFF, THEN SMELLED BURNING RUBBER. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, WHITE SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH MY HOOD. WHILE I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME, I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ANY FURTHER. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER, AND MY CAR, LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT A LITTLE OVER 50,000 MILES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS MY AIR COMPRESSOR. I DID RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 CX-7, BUT THAT NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. I WAS UNABLE TO GET A LOANER VEHICLE FROM MY DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR. THE COST OF MY REPAIR WAS $1480, ALONG WITH THE CAR RENTAL. I LOVE MY CX-7, BUT I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER MAZDA AFTER THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND CORRECTED BY MAZDA. I INTEND TO LET AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.. I TRIED TO CONTACT MAZDA TO NO AVAIL. IT TOOK MY DEALERSHIP A WEEK TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE NEW AIR COMPRESSOR. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 MAZDA CX-7 LESS THAN TWO YEARS AGO, WITH ONLY 17,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE IT WAS A DEALER DEMO FOR LESS THAN A YEAR. OVER THE WEEKEND (SATURDAY, JULY11, 2009) MY AIR CONDITIONING BEGAN BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. THE NEXT DAY, MY ENGINE SOUNDED AS IF IT WERE SPUTTERING, AND MY CAR BEGAN SMOKING AND SMELLING LIKE BURNT RUBBER. THIS MORNING, 7/13/09, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO MY LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME MY AIR COMPRESSOR NEEDED REPLACING FOR MORE THAN $800, AND MY CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE. ON TOP OF THAT, THE AIR COMPRESSOR WILL TAKE UP TO 3 WEEKS TO ORDER, AND MAZDA WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR A RENTAL CAR OR PROVIDE A COMPARABLE DEALER CAR TO DRIVE BECAUSE MY 25,000 MILE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. MY REAL CONCERN IS NOT THE MONEY, ALTHOUGH IT'S A HUGE REPAIR BILL FOR A BRAND NEW CAR, BUT IT'S SAFETY. IF I'D DRIVEN MY CAR A FEW MORE MILES, I'M AFRAID MY ENGINE WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. --NICOLE FERGUSON, WINSTON-SALEM, NC. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I OWN A 2007 MAZDA CX7 WITH ONLY 41K MILES ON IT. IT STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR, A/C WOULD NOT WORK AND IT WAS MAKING AWFUL NOISE. I DID SOME INVESTIGATING ONLINE AND DISCOVERED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2007 MODEL HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. LUCKILY I READ HOW PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THEIR CAR BREAKING DOWN AND INOPERABLE WHEN THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED TO THEM, SO I TOOK THE CAR STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER. IT IS THE AC COMPRESSOR AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO EVEN DRIVE CAR ($1400 REPAIR). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD THINK THEIR CAR WAS UNDRIVABLE BECAUSE THE A/C ISN'T WORKING. WHEN THE COMPRESSOR GOES OUT, IT IS SHORTLY FOLLOWED BY SMOKE, BAD SMELL AND CAR BREAKDOWN. ON THE HIGHWAY THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PART DEFECT AND MAZDA IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, YET THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. AN AC COMPRESSOR IS NOT SUPPOSED TO LAST ONLY 20K-50K MILES ON A CAR, THAT IS RIDICULOUS AND CONSUMERS OF THE 2007 MAZDA CX-7 SHOULD NOT BE BURDENED WITH BEARING THE REPLACEMENT COST BECAUSE WE HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART IN OUR CAR, NOR SHOULD WE HAVE TO BE SUBJECTED TO THE SAFETY HAZARD THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE BY COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF THE CAR. *TR
