Consumer Description

2007 MAZDA CX-7. 47,000 MILES. CLEAN ENGINE AND CLEAN OIL PER THE SERVICE DESK AT THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP. PIN RELATED TO TIMING CHAIN BROKE, WHICH CAUSED THE TIMING CHAIN TO BREAK AND RUINED THE ENTIRE ENGINE. MY CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY ROAD AND ANOTHER VEHICLE ALMOST COLLIDED WITH ME AS I SLOWLY TRIED TO MOVE IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT STOPPED ALTOGETHER. WHILE THE COMPANY HAS YET TO DECIDE IF THEY WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIR SINCE THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, I STILL BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A RECALL ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ONLINE ABOUT OTHER MAZDA CX-7 OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR
