NHTSA Complaint #10373309 — 2008 MAZDA CX-7

I PURCHASED A MAZDA CX-7 NEW IN 2008. I RECENTLY EXPERIENCE TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE WHILE RIDING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER. THE MAZDA DEALER LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND CONTACTED THE WARRANTY COMPANY AND MAZDA ON THIS ISSUE, MAZDA STATED THERE WAS "SLUDGE" IN THE ENGINE AND THAT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THEY STATED THIS MUST'VE BEEN CAUSED BY OWNER MAINTENANCE, HOWEVER, I HAVE MAINTAINED THE CAR AS STATED IN THE MANUAL. THE COMPANY STATED WE NEED TO PRODUCE COPIES OF ALL OF OUR OIL CHANGES SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE DATES/MILEAGE AT THE OIL CHANGE. WE DID NOT HAVE THIS INFORMATION, HOWEVER MANY COMPLAINANTS WHO HAVE PRODUCED THE OIL CHANGE HISTORY ARE STILL DENIED WARRANTY CLAIMS. THIS ISSUE OF SLUDGE IS NOT ONLY CAUSES BY THE OWNER, BUT ALSO CAUSED BY MANUFACTURED DEFECTS AS IN THE TOYOTA CASE. MANY OTHER MAZDA OWNERS AND MECHANICS HAVE STATED THE TURBO CHARGING IN THE NEW MAZDA CX-7 HAS STARTED TO "COOK" THE OIL TOO FAST AND THIS CAUSES THE SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE, HOWEVER MAZDA WILL NOT OWN UP TO THIS DEFECT AND HONOR THE WARRANTY AND THIS VEHICLE. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN SITED ISSUES OF THE TIMING CHAIN CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE HOWEVER MAZDA WOULD NOT LOOK AT ANY OTHER ISSUES. MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY AND A DEFECT OF THE ENGINE GOING OUT SHOULD BE COVERED. MAZDA IS ILLEGALLY MAKING THE ALLEGATION ABOUT THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE ENGINE FAILURE IN A CAR ONLY TWO YEARS OLD, ONLY TO NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A PROBLEM IT HAS CAUSED. PLEASE HELP ME AND OTHER MAZDA OWNERS CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE CURRENTLY MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AGAINST MAZDA AND MANY VEHICLE OWNERS SUCH AS MYSELF ARE WITHOUT A VEHICLE WHILE IN LITIGATION WITH THIS ISSUE. THE REPAIRS WOULD COST OVER $7000. I HAVE ALSO COPIED AND PASTED THE FORUM IN WHICH OVER 100 PEOPLE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS EXACT TREND IN THEIR VEHICLES AND MAZDA BEING LESS THAN WILLING TO FURTHER ASSIST WITH THIS ISSUE.
