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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

OK, I am throughly annoyed now that my passenger side head light has serious condensation on the inside of it. I was out driving in heavy rain w/flooding Saturday and I just noticed the lens is full of water. Also my left turn signal is flashing very fast......wtf Anyone else ever have this...

Hello fellow spirited drivers....how could you resist the way this car handles. Now that my ride is turning 24k on the odometer I am curious as to how many miles before its time for brakes ? Has anyone replaced their brake pads yet and if so what kind of mileage did the car have at the time ...

Hello All Just wanted to share my new tire experience for my 2007 CX7. We all know that the factory tires are a disappointment with most lucky to see 20k, my spirited driving got 21k out of my Bridgestone Turanza's. However, I should have replaced them sooner. After spending some time reading...

Hello All, It appears that my rear wiper blade needs replacement, a more difficult task than meets the eye. After playing with it for a bit, I removed the cover at the base of the hub (where it connects to the drive) this enabled me to lift the blade perpendicular to the window. I was then...

Bad Smoke lives on !!! OK.... I finally have been able to connect the dots and figure out how to get my car to emit a MAJOR amounts of smoke....I would suggest that everyone try this before your warranty expires to make sure your engine/turbo is acting properly. Follow these Steps: 1) Drive...

I was considering doing pin stripping to my ride I was wondering if anyone else has done this yet ? With my Liquid Platinum color I thought that red & black would look nice. I had a similar color on my last ride which was a toyota tacoma in silver and I had it stripped in the red & black. It...

Hoping that someone has removed the center stack to remove the Head Unit on a Factory Nav System. I just ordered an iPod adaptor that works with factory nav systems so I need to access the back of the Head Unit. Or perhaps it can be accessed without removal ?? Opinions and comments...

Well we just had our first storm of the season in NJ and I am shocked how dirty the back of my CX7 is ! Of course it appears I have used the last of my washer fluid for the rear window. I have looked in the owners manuel and around the rear of the car and cannot seem to find how to re-fill it ...

Sorry if this question has been answered before.... My car has the tech pkg....So if I am not using the SAT RADIO - is there a way to use the SAT RAD port to intergrate an IPOD ? Also, does anyone know if there are any RCA ports on the back of the BOSE HU, if so perhaps installing a "Y"...

Ok so my car now has 5500 miles on it and I had my second smoke incident. For no apparent reason, I had ALOT of white colored smoke come out of my exhuast after starting the car. This condition continued for about 45 - 60 seconds and then stopped. This is the second time this "bad smoke" thing...
