ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AFTER SHORT DURATION IDOL "5-10" MINUTES CAR BLEW HEAVY WHITE AND BLACK SMOKE OUT OF EXHAUST FOLLOWED WITH A CLANKING/RATTLING SOUND FROM THE REAR OF CAR. THREE TIME THIS HAPPENED IN A SHORT 4-7 MILE DRIVE HOME. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AT FIRST THE SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT UPDATED THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COMPUTER PROGRAM. THEN THEY LET THE CAR IDOL FOR SOME TIME AND IT BLEW THE SMOKE AND HEARD THE SOUND. SO THEY DECIDED AFTER CALLING AND REPORTING THE EVENT TO THE REGIONAL MANAGER TO REPLACE THE TURBO. I HAVE LOOKED ON-LINE ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND HAVE COME ACROSS OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THEIR TURBOS REPLACED A FEW TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WHEN THE PARTS ARE IN AND THEY REPLACE THE TURBO, I WILL SEE IF THIS IS A FIX. I HAVE VERY LITTLE FAITH THAT THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEMS THIS VEHICLE HAS. AND IT HAS MANY. *TR

TIRES, SUSPENSION
MAZDA CX7 (FWD) EXHIBITS ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR(CUPPING,FEATHERING) ON ALL (4) TIRES AFTER LESS THAN 1000 MILES. BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE PURCHASING DEALER WHO RE-BALANCED AND REALIGNED. TIRES CONTINUED TO EXHIBIT THE SAME WEAR AFTER 2000 MILES AND RIDE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HAD SOME VIBRATION AND ROUGH FEEL AT LOWER SPEEDS. DEALER ONCE AGAIN REALIGNED VEHICLE AND INCREASED THE PSI ON ALL 4 TIRES TO 36PSI. AT JUST OVER 5000 MILES VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO DEALER AGAIN, STILL CONTINUING TO SHOW ABNORMAL WEAR AND POOR RIDE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (VIBRATION & ROUGH). DEALER REALIGNED AND RE-BALANCED ALL WHEELS AND ONCE AGAIN INCREASED TIRE INFLATION TO 36PSI. I LATER CONTACTED THE SERVICE MGR AND TOLD HIM THAT I DID NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT HE INCREASED THE TIRE PRESSURE OVER THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED SETTINGS AND THAT THIS WOULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO WEAR DOWN THE CENTER QUICKLY. *JB

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW MAZDA CX-7 IN JULY 2007. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON AUGUST 9TH BECAUSE OF A LOUD NOISE FROM THE REAR INTERIOR. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THE NOISE WAS FROM THE REAR MID SEAT BELT THAT RETRACTS INTO THE ROOF. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SEAT BELT HAD NOT BEEN FITTED CORRECTLY AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT AND THAT THE SEAT BELT WAS INOPERATIVE. THEY ORDERED A NEW SEAT BELT AND REPLACED THE ORIGINAL BELT. BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE REAR SEAT ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE SEAT BELT WORKED AND MY CHILD WAS SAFE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE ASSEMBLY PLANT CAN FIT A SEAT BELT THAT IS INOPERATIVE ONCE AND IT PASSES ALL THE PLANT QUALITY CHECKS, THEY CAN DO IT MANY MORE TIMES. HOW MANY MAZDA VEHICLES HAVE BEEN FITTED WITH REAR SEAT BELTS THAT ARE INOPERATIVE? *JB
