I was driving home from work, taking a left turn, when my car jolted to a stop in the intersection. I was unable to move my car out of the intersection, because the wheel wasn't attached properly anymore. I called for a tow truck, and the vehicle was towed to a local auto shop. At the auto shop they discovered that a previously recalled part (lower control arm) had failed, which IS what caused all of the damage. I was not aware of this recall. I called the mazda dealership where I purchased the vehicle to ask for advice. I was advised to have the vehicle repaired at my local auto shop, and then to send the invoice to mazda to be reimbursed for the recalled part/labor. I sent the invoice to mazda, and they said they couldn't provide reimbursement until the recall was closed, and in order to do this I needed to have everything checked off/recall closed by a mazda dealership. I took my vehicle back to the dealership where I purchased it from, they did the inspection, and closed the recall. Then I sent the invoice and the documents stating the recall had been closed, but mazda still denied my request saying that I needed to have had the repairs done at a mazda dealership. I am requesting to still be reimbursed for the lower control arm (at least the cost of the part), since I followed the advice I was given from both the mazda dealership and mazda.

I am very unhappy with my headlights on my mazda CX7 2010 or should I say lack of headlights. I have put 8 light bulbs in this car and they were the expensive ones. This car IS a piece of crap all the way around but the headlights are really bad! Also they are so clouded over. I have a hard time driving at night and now I just can't because I am not going to get stopped again for having a headlight out! I only drive during the day. I can't believe that they do not have a recall for this problem, when I see so many complaints on the same thing. This IS such a stress er for me. I wish there was someone out there that could help us in this situation.

Took car in for air bag recall (which was fixed). dealer did a full circle inspection and found the timing chain needed replacement. we received a letter from mazda january, 2012 stating they were extending the warranty to 7 yrs from the original warranty date or 70,000 miles whichever comes first for repairs to the timing chain. this letter leads me to believe they knew there were issues with the timing chain. our car has 39,100 miles (obviously low for the age of the car). we were required to pay for the repair out of pocket because it was outside the warranty period. it seems very unfair that our car was not covered for an issue mazda was clearly aware of in 2012. while it was not an actual recall, something was wrong with the timing chain and all owners should be compensated for failure of the chain. I do not know exactly what can happen to a car if the chain breaks, but my best guess IS it will stop running, which IS a huge concern regarding safety of the vehicle.

Headlight bulbs have burned out every 6 months since we bought the vehicle in 2010. Over the past few years, the lenses have fogged up to the point headlights are worthless. Took the vehicle to the dealer, one seal IS bad and the other side has melted, cost of repair IS nearly $2,000. This IS a safety issue and looks to be a common defect in this make/model of car. We now drive the car only during daylight. If we need to at night, we use high beams exclusively as we can't see a thing with regular headlights.

Service bulletins
Technical service bulletins and other communications the manufacturer sent dealers about this vehicle. Ask a dealer for the full document by its number.
- 11007022Some vehicles may experience exterior trim heat damage such (melted, separating, etc.) when parked near a glass building or Low-E windows. This may be caused by the sun's reflection.
- 11007019If you encounter any type of electrical concern (e.g, dead battery, engine no start, DTC(s) stored...), interview the customer before proceeding with normal MGSS diagnosis by asking if any aftermarket devices have been installed.

- 11006987In accordance with Federal regulations, follow the procedure listed below when replacing a speedometer. NOTE: Tampering with a motor vehicle odometer is strictly prohibited by Federal, and State laws. It is the dealers responsibility to comply with Federal, State, and local laws concerning odometer and related documentation requirements when providing a repair or replacement. Mazda vehicles are manufactured with tamper-proof speedometers. When a speedometer is replaced, the new speedometer will read zero (0) miles. This procedure is extremely important to accurately represent actual vehicle mileage. Prior to speedometer removal, complete the information required on the Speedometer Replacement Label. Labels can only be ordered through Mazda eStore. In an effort to achieve a higher level of Customer Experience and retain the value of Mazdas vehicles, MNAO Warranty Operations is allowing all Mazda dealers to utilize a third party, SPECMO Enterprises, Inc., for Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) odometer setting service. With the use of SPECMOs services, it is possible that the odometer will be set between 10 to 31 miles over the odometer mileage at the time of replacement for both warranty and customer pay repairs. Please make sure that the customer is aware that there may be a slight variance to the odometer, in which case the customer may have to accept the slightly higher mileage. Since odometer setting service is not part of the warranty repair, it is not warrantable nor required, but optional. However, Mazda Warranty policy provides after- warranty assistance (AWA) or DSA that can be utilized to cover this service expense.

- 10206002Automatic Transmission/Transaxle Cooler and Lines Flushing Procedure: Automatic Transaxle/Transmission (A/T) oil cooler and lines must be power flushed completely before an overhauled or replacement A/T is installed (except SKYACTIV-DRIVE). The most common cause of repeat A/T failures is lack of lubrication to the front and rear planetary gears. This is usually caused by an accumulation of metal particles and debris (from a previous A/T failure) on the internal mesh type baffle of the oil cooler. Power flushing will remove the restriction by back flushing, followed by forward flushing to dislodge a restriction, then back flushing again. This will in turn ensure full ATF flow for the transmission when it is operating.
