"TAKATA RECALL" THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS AND OTHER MAZDA CAR MODELS HAS GONE ON TOO LONG. AFTER RECEIVING NOTIFICATION IN JULY OF THIS YEAR, I WENT ONLINE AND DISCOVERED AIR BAG COMPLAINTS DATING BACK TO 2008!. THE FACT THAT MAZDA IGNORED THESE COMPLAINTS, WAITING MORE THAN EIGHT YEARS TO CONDUCT A MASSIVE AIR BAG RECALL IS UNTENABLE. THE ANXIETY PRODUCED BY DRIVING WITH FRONT-SEAT PASSENGERS IS A SERIOUS DISTRACTION FOR ANYONE WHO OWNS ONE OF THESE VEHICLES; FOLLOWING THE MANUFACTURER'S ADVICE TO DISALLOW FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS HAS BECOME AN INCONVENIENCE. FOR MANY DRIVERS, LOSS OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT AN OPTION ; THIS HAS GONE ON FOR TOO LONG WITHOUT NOTICE OF RESOLUTION BY MAZDA. I AM DEMANDING THAT MAZDA BEGIN REPLACING PASSENGER AIR BAGS IMMEDIATELY.

HI, WE BOUGHT MAZDA CX-7 GRAND TOURING [VIN# LAST 8 DIGITS: [XXX] USED CAR DURING OCT 2014 IN FREMONT. THE CAR HAD AROUND 84K MILES. WE SPENT AROUND $13K THINKING GOOD FIT FOR KIDS SCHOOL DROP IN SHORT DISTANCE. HARDLY USED < 9K MILES IN 2 YEARS. TIMELY SERVICE HAS BEEN DONE. HOWEVER, RECENTLY SEEING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH CODE P0303 [ENGINE-3] MISSFIRES. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, PERFORM FLUID SYSTEM CLEANING, REPLACE THROTTLE BODY SPENDING CLOSE TO $1500+. CHECK ENGINE STILL STAYS ON EVEN AFTER THIS'. NOW FREMONT MAZDA DEALER RECOMMENDING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE [WHICH COSTS AROUND $9K]. LATER DID SOME STUDY ON WEB AND LEARNT THAT MAZDA CX-7 IS VERY WELL KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUES AND THAT IS THE REASON MAZDA HAS DISCONTINUED THE CX-7 MODEL KNOWING INTERNAL TURBO RELATED ISSUES. CUSTOMERS BUY CARS BASED ON SEARCH AND RELIABILITY CONSIDERING LONG TERM USAGE [LIKE OTHER CARS WHICH RUNS MORE THAN 150K MILES] AND NOT EXPECTED THIS. IT'S PAIN TO SEE NOT HARDLY USED 10K+ MILES EVEN AFTER SPENDING $15K. MAZDA SHOULD ACCEPT THEIR ENGINE DESIGN ISSUE AND DO SOME CREDIT TO LOST COSTUMER. TO KEEP THIS CUSTOMER [ME] WITH MAZDA, MAZDA SHOULD REFUND THE TOTAL CUSTOMER EXPENSES AND ALLOW HIM TO BY NEW MAZDA LATEST VERSION BY PAYING DIFFERENCE AMOUNT. HAVE ATTACHED RECENT DOCUMENTS FROM FREMONT-MAZDA DEALER FOR YOUR REVIEW AND SUPPORT. HIGHLY APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND HELPING THE CUSTOMER. HOME ADDRESS: [XXX] CELL: [XXX] EMAIL: [XXX] CAR DETAILS: MAZDA CX-7 GRAND TOURING.

WHILE TURNING RIGHT ONTO A CITY STREET THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT FAILED. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS SIGNS THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN, EG. SLOPPY WHEEL OR UNEVEN WEAR ON TIRE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CX SERIES AND IS A CURRENT RECALL WITH THE CX9.

I TOOK THE CAR IN THE HAVE THE AC COMPRESSOR REPLACED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. JUNE 9 I LOST ALL COLD AIR AND DONE ACCELERATION. I THOUGHT THE TWO WERE RELATED BUT WE'RE NOT. MY CAR WOULD SOMETIMES DRIVE AS NORMAL AND OTHER TIMES UNEXPECTEDLY SLOW DOWN TO 25 MPH IN A 60 MPH ZONE AND I COULDN'T SPEED UP. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC. HE SAID THE TURBO WAS GOING OUT. THEN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THEN THE GASKET. IT'S HAD MULTIPLE OIL LEAKS. THIS CAR IS COSTING ME MORE THAN ITS WORTH.

MY DAUGHTER WITH HER NEWBORN INFANT HAD THE VECHILE STALL ON THEM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE CAR HAS 60,000.00 MILES AND IS METICULOUS MAINTAINED. WE BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE AT A COST 9,000.00. I OPENED A CASE WITH MAZDA CORPORATE CASE #1-290023-832 AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS AN 9 YEAR VECHILE AND THEY CAN ONLY OFFER AN EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT ON A NEW CAR OR 1,5000. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A MANUFACTURER DEFECTIVE. MY DAUGHTER AND HER CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. PLEASE ASSIST.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED A 2007 MAZDA CX-7, 3 YEARS AGO. I HAVE TAKEN PRISTINE CARE OF MY VEHICLE AS I HAVE ALWAYS. I AM A FAN OF MAZDA AND HAVE OWNED OTHERS IN MY LIFETIME. HOWEVER, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN MAZDA CX-7. I HAVE ALWAYS PUT PREMIUM GAS IN MY VEHICLE, REGULAR OIL CHANGES, AND HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT A MAZDA DEALERSHIP TO MAKE SURE IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF PROPERLY. NONETHELESS, LAST WEEK I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHY? BECAUSE OF THE CONSISTENT PROBLEMS I SEEM TO FIND ONLINE. MY TURBO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AMONG OTHER THINGS THAT COINCIDE WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND SEE THAT MAZDA ONLY POINTS FINGERS BACK TO THE CONSUMER. BUT I AM GOING TO POINT MY FINGER AT THE POOR DESIGN. MUST BE WHY MAZDA NO LONGER MAKE THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THIS IS MAZDA'S ISSUE NOT MINE. THE CAR CANNOT BE TOTALED OUT BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY BECAUSE IT IS 'A MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN'. I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE AND THE COST TO REPAIR IS WELL OVER THE BLUE BOOK VALUE OF THE CAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. MAZDA JUST KEEPS POINTING THE FINGERS BACK AT US, EVEN IF THE CAR WAS TAKEN CARE OF?!?! IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR MAZDA CX-7 AND MAZDA CX 9 TO HAVE TURBOCHARGER AND ENGINE PROBLEMS, I DO NOT SEE WHY THE REPAIRS ARE PUT BACK ON US.
