| My 2007 cx-7 started making a loud banging noise when i started it (may 7,2012). i brought it to the dealership to have it checked out and they said it was my timing chain & actuator (vvt) and it would take $1350 to repair. i paid the money and it was fixed in a couple of days. on june 7th,2012 i started to realize that my ac was not working, but had decided to wait a little bit to have it fixed because i was still hurting financially from the last fix a month ago. than on june 9th, 2012, i went to start my vehicle and it sounded like it was about to explode. i live in the country and the closest dealership is at least 50 miles away. so i brought it to my local repair shop and they told me my turbo is blown. the mazda dealership wants $80 to diagnose it and $5000 to fix it (that doesn't include my towing fees and the cost of fixing the ac). i've read all of the complaints online and everyone is saying sludge build up and mazda wants the receipts for all of their oil changes. i have all my receipts for the synthetic oil changes that i have had done to the vehicle on time (not to mention only filling the car with premium gas). unfortunatly, my car is up to 100,000 miles and they only extended the warrenty to what...70k? so basically i have a car that i paid $16k for and is completely useless to me only after 100k miles. from what i've researched vvt's are not supposed to go out until what 250k-300k miles? and it seems a bit ridiculous for the turbo to go out after 100k miles.... | |||

| This vehicle has caused me nothing but problems! i have had it for 3 years and it has been in the shop 4 times and this last time is the transmission at 70,000 miles! this is ridiculous...mazda needs to clean up it's act. customers should not have charges like this early on in the life of a vehicle. the vehicle is gorgeous but perhaps they should have spent a little more time putting it together as it doesn't matter for eye appealing it is when it doesn't run! | |||

| I have had my 2007 mazda cx-7 for less than one year. i stopped at a red light after exiting the highway and my car engulfed in thick white smoke. i had the car towed to a local shop per my insurance company to have it checked out. the repair shop at first called to tell me it was the starter, and that it would cost 600 to fix it. come to find out that not only the starter blew, but it also ruined the alternator as well as the fuses on the battery. i was told by mazda that this is not a common occurrence. the total of the repairs is now over 1200. the vehicle has been meticulously maintained throughout its lifespan and is at 92,000 miles. | |||

| An excess of white smoke emitted from exhaust upon acceleration after a brief period of idle. it was determined that a faulty turbo charger was to blame. so the car was in the shop for 7 days while they replaced the turbo. several months later the car wouldn't start after sitting in a heated garage overnight. it sounded as though the cylinders weren't firing properly. car was towed to mechanic who identified issue as fouled cylinder heads from prior failure of turbo. this time the entire engine was replaced. again the car was in the shop for approximately seven days. some months later an oppressive amount of road noise appeared at all speeds on all road surfaces. we were directed that the tires were to blame. after replacing all 4 tires at a cost of nearly $800 the sound persisted. upon further inspection the technician found that the wheel speed censors on the rear wheels had failed allowing water to seep in and rust rear wheel bearings. all four wheel bearings where replaced. today the vehicle is again in for engine repair to replace the oxygen censor and a dead battery. after owning the car for 18 months it is has been in the shop for a total of approximately 4 weeks. | |||

| I have a 2007 mazda cx-7. it is a very beautiful car but also has tons of problems. at 1500o miles it was leaking oil and they replace the engine gaskets. then later was also leaking oil. was told by the dealer that it was not. took it to somone else who said it was leaking from the timing chain. mazda resealed it. since tehn my car doesn;t shift properly going up and down hills. my air conditioner is hot and makes a funny sound. my car has loss of power and sound like a diesel. overall i think taht mazda needs to step up and take care of the problems or they will not get many returning customers! something needs to be done! it was a 35000 dollar car! | |||
