My 2007 CX7 AC stopped blowing cold air as of yesterday.....ugh ~ After a bit of trouble shooting I have determined that the compressor is not engaging, which led me to check ALL the fuses for the AC (2) one in the dash fuse box, one in the engine fuse box as well as the relay too. All is good...

Hello All, My AC stopped working in my 07 CX7 yesterday, after a bit of troubleshooting it appears that the compressor is not engaging which makes me think it could be the relay. Already checked the 2 fuses (visually not with a tester) they looked fine. Now I am thinking it could be the relay...

Smoking Turbo's I had this issue on my 07 and just had the turbo replaced by Mazda in March. Old one would smoke like a pig if you let the car idle for an excessive period. Make sure you have ALL your maintenance records

Bug in Tail Light Had a spider in my drivers side rear tail light, printed a copy of the TSB and had Mazda change the lens assembly in March. My 3yr warranty expired in April of this year, so if you bought your car mid year 07 its still covered. Either way it doesnt hurt to ask, worse case is...

Hello All, I thought it would be interesting to conduct a poll of CX7 owners whose cars have over 60k without any of the serious issues that seem to plague the earlier models (ie. A/C, belt tensioner, timing chain,smoking turbo etc). I am sure that many such as myself are concerned about the...

lost key HELP........ Also lost one of the smart keys to my car too, now I only have a remote without a key in it.....any suggestions ?? Thnks

Felt Pads The problem with the felt pads is that they are simply laid in there....meaning that simply vacuuming your car will suck them out. I am missing one as a result of such an occurrence, rather a cheap way to install a piece of trim. I put a drop of clear adhesive on the back of the...

Mpg I can only speak from my personal experience with regard to MPG on this vehicle. I own a 2007 AWD GT and I average 240 miles per tank with city driving, the best I ever got was 285 out a tank with all hwy driving. To say that this car is a pig on gas would be an understatement, my last ride...

Having dealt with this issue as well, I have had the resolution I wanted - turbo replacement. Since the issue is intermittent, it is sometimes difficult to get the service center to replicate the problem. However, do not give up and try to figure out when it happens most. In my case, it was when...

Keep out the sludge..... It would seem that these engines create an abundance of sludge due to their design. This excessive sludge is the reason for pre mature timing chain failures, a possible result of engineering this little powerhouse of an engine. Regardless, I think the sludge could be...

Just would like to see if anyone else has noticed or is experiencing their a/c compressor cycling on and off for no apparent reason. In the case my car I noticed it started happening when I would hear the cooling fan turn on in the engine, despite the fact that it was not hot outside nor was...

TSB Finder If you search this thread for TSB's you will see a link to a website http://www.finishlineperformance.com/store/home.php?cat=265 ALL the TSB's can be found over there..... goodluck

Turbo Replacement Approved In the shop and taking care of ALL the issues, I requested that only a "Master Technician" perform the work associated with the turbo replacement. Hopefully there will be no additional issues resulting from the transplant...shockingly they have promised to have the...

Not sure if anyone has had this issue here but over on the Edmunds forums there more than a few CX7 owners with timing chain issues. Most of the vehicles have under 30k miles and yet the cars are blowing chains and then mazda giving them the run around when it comes to covering repairs under...

Turbo in shop now.... Happy to report that the dealer was finally able to replicate the problem with my smoking turbo after 4 tries in 2.5 yrs of ownership. The car was in for water intrusion in the headlights and I told them to please check for the smoking turbo condition. Now all the...

For those of us with smart keys, how do you lock your car IF you dont have your smart key on your person ? Lets say you come home and walk quickly away from your car not locking it. Later you discover that your car is open in your driveway, yet your key is in the house. The car will not let...

Working again...... Well since I have been waiting to figure out how to do the replacement, it has started to work again on its own ? My guess is that it had moisture intrusion from taking the car out on a very wet night. I am having my headlight assembly replaced tomorrow due to moisture...

removal of headlight assembly I have looked and the only way it seems it to remove the assembly..

Taranza's surely you jest.......this thread is chock FULL of all the unhappy owners whose cars came with taranza's only to have to replace them in 20k or less. There are MUCH better choices, do your DD and read this thread from page one and you should narrow down your choices to the 3 fav's of...

Has anyone had to replace their turn signal bulb in the front of their car yet ? It appears that my drivers side bulb is out and its not a simple operation to access and change the bulb. It looks as though you must remove the entire headlight assembly in order to access the bulb through the...
