TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED AND VARIABLE VALVE TIMING, AND THROTTLE WENT OUT. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAS BEEN STRETCHED OUT ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS AT AROUND 64000 MILES. THE 2ND INCIDENT WAS AT 124966 MILES. MAZDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TIMING TO 70,000 MILES ON JANUARY 12. HOWEVER, I DID NOT GET THAT LETTER AND IT HAPPENED AFTER I HAD ALREADY GOTTEN THE PROBLEM REPAIRED UNDER A SEPARATE WARRANTY. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 MAZDA CX-7 IN APRIL 2007, THE VEHICLE STARTED EXPERIENCING ENGINE PROBLEMS IN SEPTEMBER 2007, I WAS TOLD IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE VVT (VARIABLE VALVE TIMING) AND TIMING CHAIN. THE VVT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP A SHORT TIME LATER; HOWEVER, NOT THE TIMING CHAIN. AFTER THE VVT WAS REPLACED MY VEHICLE STARTING TO EXPERIENCE THICK WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPES. MY DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN ADVISED THIS WAS DUE TO A TURBO ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE. ALL OF THIS OCCURRED WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE YEARS OF MY OWNERSHIP. I HAVE HAD THE TURBO REPAIRED (OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE), AS WELL AS THE VVT (2 TIMES) AND THE TIMING CHAIN IT ALL SEEMS TO NO AVAIL. THE CAR IS REVVING VERY HIGH ON COLD START UPS AND IS NOW EXPERIENCING A CODE AS OF THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS THAT IS STATING THERE IS A DECARBONIZATION ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE THAT IS LINKED TO THE TIMING CHAIN. OF COURSE THIS IS NOW THE 5TH TIME THIS VEHICLE ENGINE WILL BE OPENED UP TO DIAGNOSE ONE OF THE KNOWN ISSUES THAT MAZDA NORTH AMERICA IS AWARE OF. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2007, AND HAS JUST OVER 120,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE MAINTAINED A VERY GOOD SERVICE HISTORY ON THE VEHICLE TAKING IT TO "RELIABLE" MAZDA DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA WHERE I LIVE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS MAZDA IS DOING NOTHING TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN WORSE. THE VEHICLE SAFETY IS IMPAIRED DUE TO UNSTABLE ENGINE PERFORMANCE. THERE IS OBVIOUS TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH THE ENGINES FOR THIS MAZDA ENGINE MODEL. *TR

THIS MAZDA CX-7 HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY MY DISABLED FINANCE AND USED FOR IN CITY DRIVING IT'S WHOLE LIFE AND ONE DAY A HIGH PITCHED WHINING SOUND DEVELOPED AND THE CAR WAS DELIVERED TO CAPITOL MAZDA FOR AN INSPECTION. UPON GETTING THE RESULTS WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CAR HAD NOT HAD REGULAR SERVICING AT THE DEALER. I AGREED AS I AM AN ENGINEER AND DO MOST SERVICING OF MY FAMILIES VEHICLES. THEY SAID I HAD NOT DONE THE OIL CHANGES, BUT I HAD DONE THEM EVERY 5,000 MILES. EVERY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED HAD MORE THAN 200,000 MILE ON THEM WHEN I SOLD THEM. THE CURRENT TOYOTA TRUCK I AM DRIVING HAS 205,000 AND I HAVE DONE ALL OF THE SERVICING MYSELF. MAZDA WANTS OVER $8,000.00 TO REPAIR IT BACK TO DRIVING CONDITION. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SEVERAL FORUMS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE ISSUE SHOW SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD MORE THAN ONE TURBO INSTALLED AND THEN THE ISSUE CAME BACK. ONLINE I HAVE FOUND LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF STORIES JUST LIKE MINE. THE TURBO IN THE CX FAMILY OF VEHICLES IS AN ISSUE. SINCE MAZDA DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY HAVE TO LOOK INTO A FINE AND ALSO A RECALL OF ALL OF THESE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VEHICLES ON OUR ROADS. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK YESTERDAY MORNING WHEN SHE HEARD A LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. SHE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED GLASS FLYING OFF OF THE TOP OF THE CAR. APPARENTLY THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND MY WIFE AT THE TIME SO IT DID NOT GET HIT BY A ROCK OR ANY OTHER DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD. THE GOOD THING IS THAT WHILE MY WIFE WAS SHAKEN UP OVER THE INCIDENT, SHE DID NOT WRECK THE CAR AND THE INNER SHADE WAS SHUT SO THERE WAS NO GLASS IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. I TOOK PHOTOS OF THE SUNROOF AND THE REMAINING GLASS IS PUSHED UP AS IF SOMEONE KICKED IT FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.I CAN EMAIL THE PHOTOS IF THEY ARE NEEDED. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR ANY COMPLAINTS OF SUNROOFS EXPLODING ON MAZDA VEHICLES AND TO MY SURPRISE THERE WERE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THAT THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED MAZDA ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE BUT WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, SHE STATED THAT SHE HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE MY WIFE EXPERIENCED. ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I FOUND ON THE INTERNET STATED THAT THEY CONTACTED MAZDA AND THAT NOTHING WAS EVER DONE TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 - 60 MPH ON AN EXTREMELY COLD (-20) MORNING. TRIED TO BRAKE AND BRAKE IS VERY HARD AND DOES NOT STOP. AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES, IT GRABS AND BRAKES PROPERLY. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN AN APPROXIMATE 30 DAY PERIOD (ALL DURING EXTREME COLD). TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND THE ARTICLES ABOUT THE NHTSA OPENING AN INVESTIGATION INTO BRAKING PROBLEMS ON THE MAZDA CX-9 THAT SOUND IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. *TR

I DID ALL MY MAZDA CX7 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, I PAID A LOT FOR IT. THEN MY CAR STARTED MAKING NOISES, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SO MANY TIMES AND THEY SAID THAT THE NOSE WAS NORMAL BECAUSE ITS A TURBO CAR. ONE DAY, RUNNING AT APROX 40 M/H MY CAR LOWER THE SPEED AT NO MORE THAT 20 M/H, IT WAS SUNDAY AFTERNOON SO I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC (MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY) AROUND 68 K MILES. THE PROBLEM WAS THE TIMING CH. AFTER WAS SOME FIXED, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STAYED WITH THE CAR 21 DAYS ( I PAID FOR THE RENT A CAR) THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS ABOUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND THEY NEEDED TO WAIT FOR THE PART, SO THEY CHANGED IT BUT IT WASN'T THAT PART, SO THEY PUT EVERYTHING BACK AND SAID THAT WAS THE ENGINE. I INSTALLED A NEW ONE IN ANOTHER MAZDA DEALER PAYING CLOSED TO $8K . ITS NOT FEAR. PLEASE HELP. MY STORY IS LONGER BUT I MADE SHORT. THANK YOU. *TR

DECEMBER 2012 (AT ABOUT 64,000 MILES) DEALER REPLACED TIMING CHAIN UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT INTERMITTENT POWER LOSS AND ENGINE HESITATION THAT I HAD COMPLAINED TO THEM AT THE TIME. NOVEMBER 2013 (AT ABOUT 78,000 MILES), THE CAR EXPERIENCED SEVERE LOSS OF POWER, STALLING AND HEAVY WHITE SMOKE FROM THE TAILPIPE. DEALER CLAIMED "OIL SLUDGE" CAUSED ENGINE AND TURBO FAILURE AND REFUSED TO BEAR ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR COST TO FIX. MAZDA USA ALSO REFUSED, CLAIMING THE PROBLEMS WERE DUE TO INSUFFICIENT OIL CHANGE BY THE CUSTOMER. SINCE WE CHANGE OIL REGULARLY, WE DON'T BUY MAZDA'S CLAIMS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY JUST OPENED UP THE ENGINE LESS THAN A YEAR AGO TO CHANGE THE TIMING CHAIN, AND AT THAT TIME DIDN'T CLAIM THERE WAS ANY "SLUDGE" INSIDE. SEEING MANY SIMILAR CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS MAZDA HAS BEEN TRYING TO HIDE A SERIOIUS DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURING FLAW BY BLAMING THE CUSTOMERS AS THE CAUSE OF IT. ?*TR

IN SEPTEMBER 2013 MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING IT... HEARD A LOUD, GRINDING, SCREECHING NOTICE.. AND SUDDENLY MY "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. BROUGHT MY CAR TO MAZDA.. 4 DAYS LATER THEY TELL ME THAT MY TURBOCHARGER BLEW.. AND THAT I HAVE DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE. TOLD THEM I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IN 2010 WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR.. WARRANTY CO WAS NOTIFIED... THEY SENT THEIR OWN INSPECTOR TO LOOK AT MY CAR.. A WEEK LATER THEY TELL ME THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE DAMAGE DUE TO EXCESSIVE SLUDGE IN MY ENGINE. AND.... THAT I MUST PRODUCE EVERY OIL CHANGE RECEIPT FROM 2010-2013 TO SHOW PROOF OF MAINTENANCE. I GAVE THEM ALL THE RECEIPTS I COULD GET... AND DECIDED TO DO A LITTLE RESEARCH MYSELF ON THE ISSUE. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS.. WOW. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A MAJOR DEFAULT IN HOW THE TURBOCHARGER IN THE 2007/08 CX7... NUMEROUS OF SERVICE BULLETINS ON THE MAZDA WEBSITE DESCRIBING THE EXACT ISSUE WITH THE TURBOS AND HOW THEY ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF IT, AND.. THOUSANDS OF FORUMS, COMPLAINTS, ETC ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. HOWEVER, MAZDA IS NOT OWNING UP TO THIS PROBLEM.. AND BLAMING THE CUSTOMER FOR NEGLIGENCE! 3 MONTHS LATER, 2 REJECTED APPEALS W/ THE WARRANTY COMPANY.. I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT NEEDS $7,000 WORTH OF REPAIRS, AND A 2YEAR CAR LOAN LEFT TO PAY. I AM BESIDE MYSELF.. AND MAZDA COULD CARE LESS. *TR

TIMING CHAIN REPLACED ON 2007 MAZDA CX7, JULY 2013. VEHICLE OVER EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED BY MAZDA, REPAIR WAS OUT OF POCKET, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MAZDA. NOW 5 MONTHS LATER, SECOND TIMING CHAIN HAS GONE BAD AND MAZDA IS REFUSING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY STATING THAT THE NEW TIMING CHAIN FAILURE WAS DUE TO LOW OIL IN VEHICLE. I HAVE SERVICE RECEIPTS TO PROVE THAT ALL OIL CHANGES HAD BEEN DONE, AND THAT THIS WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE SECOND TIMING CHAIN FAILING, BUT MORE OF CONTINUANCE OF FAULTY, DEFECTIVE MAZDA PARTS. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPANY WITH AN OUTSTANDING NUMBER OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. THEY DO NOT WANT TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN PROBLEM, INSTEAD PUTTING IT ALL BACK ON THE CONSUMER. PLEASE, GET INVOLVED AND PUT A STOP TO THIS BEFORE THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS CAUSE SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE!!!! *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT AND HEADLIGHT ON PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT DUE TO CONDENSATION SEE SB-09-003-13 MAZDA IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I ORDERED OEM PARTS AT A COST OF $1400 FROM MAZDA AND HAD THEM INSTALLED AT CERTIFIED BODY SHOP AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS LIGHT BLEW OUT AGAIN, HAD TO REPLACE JUST THE BULB THIS TIME, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T COVER THIS COST BECAUSE A MAZDA DEALER DIDN'T INSTALL LIGHT. MAZDA SAID THE ONLY WAY THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING IS IF THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL. WHAT DOES A RECALL CONSIST OF WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR HIT SOMEONE ELSE HEAD ON CAUSING FATALITIES. THIS IS ABOUT AS UNSAFE AS ANYTHING I CAN THINK OF. AGAIN I REFERENCE SB-09-003-13. I HATE TO KNOW THERE MIGHT BE FATALITIES WITH THIS PROBLEM AND EVERYONE IGNORES IT. I TOLD MAZDA I WOULD DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO TRY AND MAKE THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT, I GUESS THEY HAVE NO CONCERN FOR HUMAN LIFE, THIS IS WHY I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT. JUST THINK OF ALL THE LAWSUITS THAT WILL HAPPEN AND THE MONETARY COST INVOLVED WHEN THIS DOES HAPPEN AND I THINK IT WILL SINCE IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED ONCE, ALSO LOSE OF LIFE, I DON'T THINK THERE IS A PRICE TO PUT ON THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

MY 2009 CX-7 HAS A MAJOR OIL LEAK AT THE OIL COOLER. UPON LEARNING THIS I TURNED TO MY MECHANIC AND THE INTERNET ONLY TO FIND OUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE. THIS DEFECT IS SOMETHING THAT IS ON EVERY MAZDA FORUM AND SHOULD BE MADE A RECALL AND FIXED. THIS IS A VERY WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS TYPE OF ISSUE AT THIS MILEAGE. *TR

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AS THE TURBO STOPPED WORKING. THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THE TURBO BROKE DUE TO SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE. THERE WAS A LOT OF SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE, HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES. IT SEEMS THAT THE MEDIAN ENGINE TEMPERATURE IS HOTTER THAN IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE SPECIFIED OIL IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. THIS RESULTS IN OIL BURNING AND STICKING TO THE INSIDE OF THE ENGINE. EVENTUALLY A PIECE OF "SLUDGE" WILL COME LOOSE AND CLOG THE OIL TUBE TO THE TURBO, RESULTING IN THE TURBO UNIT OVERHEATING AND BREAKING. MAZDA SEEMS TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS THEY WERE PRESSURED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM IS VERY SERIOUS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF THE TURBO UNIT AND CLARIFICATION IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. MAZDA HAS YET TO AGREE TO FIX THE TURBO AND "SLUDGE" IN MY ENGINE. THEY ARE STILL INSISTING THAT I DID NOT MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE WELL. FYI- I WAS A CAR DESIGNER WITH HONDA/ACURA FOR 4 YEARS WHO DESIGNED THE 2009 - 2012 MDX. I AM STATING THIS BECAUSE I KNOW SUV'S AND HOW TO MAINTAIN THEM VERY WELL. *TR
