| 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 | |||

| 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! | |||
