NHTSA Complaint #10455615 — 2007 MAZDA CX-7

MY 2007 MAZDA CX-7 STARTING MAKING A POPPING NOISE AND BEGAN LOSING POWER ON APRIL 13, 2012. I DROVE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIMING CHAIN AND TURBO CHARGER ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR HAS 80,477 MILES ON IT AND THEREFORE, NOTHING IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I CANNOT PRODUCE ALL OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS. THUS, IT IS GOING TO COSTS ME $3,000 TO GET FIXED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MAZDA FOR NOT FIXING A DEFECT THAT THEY ARE CLEARLY AWARE OF, REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE! I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER AND I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL MAZDA CUSTOMER, PURCHASING 5 MAZDA'S OVER THE LAST 12 YEARS! I TRAVEL WITH MY JOB SO I DO PUT A LOT OF MILES ON A VEHICLE (AVERAGING 2,000 MILES PER MONTH) BUT I FIND IT UTTERLY RIDICULOUS THAT A CAR HAS MAJOR DEFECTS AT 80,000 MILES! PLEASE HELP AND STOP MAZDA FROM TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CONSUMERS! *JS
