I had it too at around 40k miles. They've tried 3 times to fixed it(even Mazda engineer was involved) and at the end I got the whole transfer case replaced. This is well known issue with the first years of the model and as far as I know it is a very expensive replacement - sorry :).

Check the battery voltage :)

For the rear bearings it falls under the power train warranty ONLY if the car is AWD :) I had the same problem with the rear right bearing at about 43k miles.

CAN+ (CAN HIGH) and CAN- (CAN LOW) are not power wires. They are data signals. Don't connect them to power (12V) because you will burn the CAN interface driver chip in the iPod module. Those signal are for the iPod module to talk with the car stereo. Sorry but this is the only info I can help...

The navigation in 2010 CX-7 is not worth even a penny vs. the one in previous years. Not only routing but the user interface, the display size, the missing info about highway exits, etc (blarf). But overall the car is a lot better then before :)

With me it was the rear right hub bearing. They replaced it in the dealership but I don't have the car yet to see if everything is OK. I hope it is :).

Spark plugs :)

Lucky me - I just came back from 600 mile trip and right after the 450th mile the vibration started. Exactly between 45 and 70-75 mph :mad:. Did somebody learn more about this issue?

CXRabbit, is the compressor failing or the pulley with the clutch is failing? I was thinking if the pulley+clutch is failing to buy the new redesigned pulley and replace the old one before bad things happen. In this connection does anybody know the part number of the new parts?

It's not that. If it was because of the capacitors the car would do it from day one but it starts at some point later on :).

Did you ever use DC to 110V AC converter in you car? I used to have the same problem and the dealer told me it's because of the converter I was using to power my laptop. They've reset the electronics and since then I don't have the problem but I'm not using the converter anymore. They said the...

I used to have the same problem. I took it to the dealer and they said that there is a service bulletin about the remote starter's harness - it's under rated to take care of the current when you have most of the options installed and the fuse is blowing up. They've replaced the harness and since...

How :)?
