Consumer Description

AT 45,000 MILES MY 2007 MAZDA CX-7 BEGAN BLOWING THICK WHITE SMOKE OUT FROM THE EXHAUST AND FROM UNDER THE HOOD. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER WHO SAID THE TURBO WENT OUT AND WAS LEAKING OIL INTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THEY REPLACED THE TURBO AND COVERED THE PART AND CHARGED ME THE $600 IN LABOR TO INSTALL IT. CAR IS NOW AT 57,000 MILES AND IS SHOWING THE SAME SYMPTOMS WHEN RPMS GO OVER 4000. *TR
