Consumer Description

2008 MAZDA CX 7 GRAND TOURING - PURCHASED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE FROM A CERTIFIED MAZDA DEALER IN OCTOBER 2008, HAD A LOUD ENGINE SOUND AND DEALER ADVISED THIS WAS "NORMAL", JUST BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRATION FOUND THAT TRANSMISSION SEAL WAS BAD AND REPLACED THIS AS WELL AS THE RECALLED COMPRESSOR. NOW AT 64K AND NOISE IN ENGINE IS GETTING WORSE AND IT IS IN FACT THE TIMING CHAIN LAPPING. FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE CHAIN BREAK LEAVING THEM STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. ALSO FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE CASING AND THE TENSIONING BELT/MECHANISM IS FAILING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I AM SURPRISED THAT NO ONE HAS RECALLED THIS, IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 07 MODEL AS WELL. WILL REQUEST OLD PARTS BE KEPT. CURRENTLY BEING WORKED ON. *TR
