    Turbo failure + Engine blow-by 2010 CX-7

    Hey all--we have a 2010 CX-7. Our turbo went out about a year ago at 84,000 miles, and we got it replaced at the dealer. We brought it back to the dealer for an oil change about a week ago and oil was low. After a test, they are saying there is blow-by on several cylinders and will need a new...

    Should I pull the trigger - is this a good price??

    Fair point about the car being out of warranty. I'm not suggesting that Mazda is obligated to do anything at all; however, in this day and age, cars should/almost always do go much further than 84k miles before a failure like this.

    Should I pull the trigger - is this a good price??

    Personally I would steer clear of the Mazda brand altogether based on my recent experience. We have a Mazda CX-7 with 84,000 miles on it and just had the engine turbo and AC compressor fail. Dealer wants $4k+ to repair, and Mazda is unwilling to assist with any of the cost. Shocking that a major...

Dealer wants $4k+ to repair, and Mazda is unwilling to assist with any of the cost. Shocking that a...
