Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I COULD SMELL SMOKE AND MY AC JUST STOPPED. I TOOK MY 2007 MAZDA CX-7 INTO 3 SHOPS. ONE WAS THE MAZDA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. ALL 3 PLACES TOLD ME THAT MY AC COMPRESSOR CLUTCH HAD GONE OUT. THE PART AND LABOR IS COSTING ME $750 TO FIX. I HAVE BEEN READING ON SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND OFTEN LEADS TO THE S-BELT BREAKING AND THE ENTIRE CAR JUST STOPPING WHILE DRIVING. I EVEN HAD ONE OF THE MECHANICS TELL ME THAT IT COULD HAPPEN TO ME AT ANY TIME. *TR
