Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MY 2007 MAZDA CX-7 FOR LESS THAN ONE YEAR. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR ENGULFED IN THICK WHITE SMOKE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP PER MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THE REPAIR SHOP AT FIRST CALLED TO TELL ME IT WAS THE STARTER, AND THAT IT WOULD COST 600 TO FIX IT. COME TO FIND OUT THAT NOT ONLY THE STARTER BLEW, BUT IT ALSO RUINED THE ALTERNATOR AS WELL AS THE FUSES ON THE BATTERY. I WAS TOLD BY MAZDA THAT THIS IS NOT A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THE TOTAL OF THE REPAIRS IS NOW OVER 1200. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT ITS LIFESPAN AND IS AT 92,000 MILES. *TR
