Noise Is Unbearable Maavalous, I have about 50k miles on my car and I'm experiencing the same issue. I'm going to take it to the dealer this Saturday, but I'm going to ask specifically about the wheel bearings. Today, I "tested" the car by driving on the beltway at 80 and then shifting the...

1. Still the smell is unnatural and shouldn't have happened. The dealer couldn't make a determination but also caught a whiff of it. As everyone else has said, the smell has not come back. 2. I can't buy that about the catalytic converters. I have driven everything and own an Audi and...

Hi everyone, It has been a long time. 2 quick questions. Has anyone experienced a burning smell coming from the heater? I'm not talking about the new car chemical burn off smell, I am asking about a distinct, sweet (aromatic, ester-like) smell that reminds me of burning hair grease, or other...

Man talk about throwing salt on the wounds; yesterday, we received our touch-up paint for the Black Cherry Mica. :( The wife and I bought another CX-7, unfortunately we still do not have it. There seems to be an Airbag issue with our car and the dealer has had it for 2 full days now with no...

Thanks for the concern G-Papi. I know that it sucks, but I am happy that the vehicle was totaled, since we were hit before we made our first payment or oil change; I couldn't mentally comprehend paying brand new car money for a car that was just wrecked. If it was my fault I would have felt...

Hi everyone, You can fly the bug deflector at half mast. The CX-7 has been officially totaled! :) They found a million pieces in the back of this vehicle and decided it was not cost effective to repair, I guess not seeing how we burned up over a month of rental car fees. I appreciate...

To answer G-Papi, the body shop informed me that the seats are going to be listed in the repair for the car. They still have not performed an estimate on this thing yet. The shop informed me that they need to strip off the body panels and place the car on a frame puller to determine if there...

The airbags didn't deploy at all. The seats WILL have to be replaced in our vehicle. I'll keep the group abreast of any new developments, it is going to be a pain getting parts because this car is so new. Also, in my conversation with Mazda USA, a dealer can void the warranty on any of the...

I talked to Mazda USA today. The reclining front seats are not a safety feature and are a defect. Hopefully we can get them replaced and have that added to the cause. I know that the driver seat has to cost a little change.

We were following behind someone in the left lane on Columbia Gateway drive when a car in front of us attempted to make a U-turn, since there was no seperate U-turn lane and traffic was breezing in the lane to our right, we slowed to a stop. According to the guy that hit us, he was following...

As promised here are pictures of my wife's Black Cherry Mica GT w/ TechPkg. This happened when we returned from vacation last Thursday, we weren't on the ground for more than 2 hours. We haven't reached the first oil change interval or payment. Mileage: 3438 Avg MPG: 18.24 After the...

Actually, I have a CD player in one of my other cars that displays the title information when its encoded on the CD. It's been a CDDA standard since 1996. I'll also have to admit that cleaning the dimpled plastic is a little difficult. Using Lexol's Vinyl wipes seems to work well though.

First post, and pictures will follow of our Black Cherry Mica GT. Let me say that the CX-7 is a very fun car to drive, but I have some nagging complaints that I think should be standard on any car made in the 21st Century. This is our first Mazda and my issues aren't serious, maybe the Mazda...
