Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE IS A 2008 MAZDA CX-7 BOUGHT AS A PRE-OWNED CERTIFIED FROM MAZDA DEALER IN RAMSEY, NJ. IT HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER NEAR MY WORK (COLMAR, PA) AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CODE P0401, EGR VALVE FAILURE. WITH UNDER 40K I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS TO FAIL AND THE REPAIR COST WAS $718. (DIAGNOSIS, PARTS AND LABOR). I LOOKED UP ONLINE AND SAW THAT IT IS A FREQUENT ISSUE WITH PEOPLE HAVING MUCH NEWER CAR THAN MINE. OBVIOUSLY IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD TO PAY FROM MY POCKET. BUT I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH THE REPAIR AS THE NEXT DAY THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. IT COMES ON IN THE MORNING AND STAYS ON INTERMITTENTLY. IT FINALLY GOES AWAY AFTER 15-20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I PLAN TO GO TO THE DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT RESULTED DURING YESTERDAY'S REPAIR. *TR
