Consumer Description

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 65 MILES PER HOUR, ENGINE SHUT OFF... PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC. DIAGNOSTIC WITH TWO QUOTES TIMING CHAIN SNAPPED BENT VALVE, NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I HAVE BEEN REVIEWING FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH HUNDREDS OF MAZDA CX7 2007 MODELS. MY CAR IS AT THE 61,000 MILES MARK. IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ITS NO COINCIDENCE, THANKFULLY ON THE DAY MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN WAS IN THE FAR LANE THAT I COULD PULL OVER. SOMEONE ELSE WITH THIS CAR MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY. MAZDA NEEDS TO RECALL AND START DOING SOMETHING. *TR
