| Mazda cx-7 2008; i purchased the car in september 2007 and it currently has 19,908 miles. the ac is breaking down. while i'm driving on the highway at 65mph, the pressure or high ac air pressure drops and hot air comes out. i also experienced burning smoke coming through the vents. i had the car inspected by the dealer back on august 3, 2012 and they replaced the valve cover. on september 1, 2012 i was driving again on the highway with my family and we experienced the same problem. the ac pressure dropped, hot air was flowing out of the ac and we smelled burning smoke. i took the car to the dealer this morning and they are now advising me that i have to replace the blower fan which is out of warranty (3 years/36k miles) and will cost $500. i have no problems paying for a part, but the valve cover, blower fan, or ac items shouldn't be breaking down at 19k original miles. i asked wayne mazda service consultant: anthony cunha if the blower fan was part of the ac compressor and he said, no. i strongly feel that mazda installed faulty ac compressor/units on the 2008 cx-7. this issue has to be investigated before a car catches on fire and people get burned alive or worse, a multiple car crash on the road resulting in deaths. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2008 mazda cx-7. the contact stopped the vehicle and turned off the ignition. when he placed the gear into park, it would not engage. the dealer stated that all of the vehicles do not lock in park after turning off the ignition switch. the gear shift moves while the engine is on and the vehicle is in park. the contact has owned the vehicle for three weeks. another driver exited their vehicle and thought that the vehicle was in park after she turned off the vehicle. the gear failed to lock into place and the vehicle crashed into a tree. the service manager at the dealer stated that this was abnormal, but all of the vehicles operate in that manner and there may be a potential safety hazard. the contact and service manager also observed several vehicles that were designed in that manner. the contact is also waiting on a district service manager to call him back. the insurance company was liable for the repairs. the owner's manual did not indicate that there may be difficulty with the gear shift. there was damage to the rear end bumper and tailgate of the vehicle. the failure mileage was approximately 700 and current mileage was 760. updated 09/10/08. *lj updated 09/11/08.*jb | |||
