Consumer Description

HAVE A 2007 CX7 WITH 34,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS PURCHASED IN SEPT OF 09 AT A MAZDA DEALERSHIP USED. UPON EXITING THE INTERSTATE, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP THE CAR STALLED JUST AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. THE CAR AND SEMI BEHIND ME ALMOST CRASHED INTO ME.. I PUT IT IN PARK AND IT STARTED UP. I GOT ABOUT 2 BLOCKS DOWN THE ROAD AND WAS SITTING AT THE LIGHT WHEN I NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ENGINE TEMPS WERE FINE BUT YOU COULD SMELL BURNT RUBBER. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND LIFTED THE HOOD. I COULD TELL THE A\C COMPRESSOR WAS NOT TURNING SO I TURNED THE A\C OFF AND MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION ABOUT 3 MILES LATER.I TOOK THE CAR INTO MAZDA TODAY ONLY TO FIND OUT THE 36 MONTH TIME PERIOD HAD EXPIRED ON 2/20/2010. THE TECH WRITER ALMOST VERBATIM DESCRIBED TO ME WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I TOLD HIM I BELIEVED THE COMPRESSOR HAD FAILED. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A TSR ON THIS PRODUCT. *TR
