Consumer Description

2008 MAZDA CX-7 AIR COMPRESSOR FAILED AT 42,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A FEW DAYS AGO. APPEARS TO BE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 AND THE 2008 MAZDA CX-7 MODELS THAT WERE BUILT IN '07 (AS IS THE CASE WITH MY '08). MAZDA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THE 2007 AND 2008 MAZDA CX-7 AND REPLACE THE AIR COMPRESSOR. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE A/C OFF AND DRIVE MY CAR TO SAFETY. NOT EVERYONE HAS BEEN THAT FORTUNATE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HORRIFIC ISSUE HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THIS IS NOT JUST AN A/C ISSUE. ONCE THE COMPRESSOR ON THE MAZDA CX-7 FAILS, THERE ARE A LIMITED # OF MILES THE CAR CAN TRAVEL UNTIL THERE ARE ENGINE ISSUES - EVEN WITH THE A/C TURNED OFF - WILL STILL CAUSE ENGINE PROBLEMS IF NOT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. *TR
