Consumer Description

THE GASKET ON THE OIL COOLERS ON THESE CARS ARE DEFECTIVE. I HAVE AN OIL LEAK FROM THIS GASKET THAT PUTS ME AT RISK FOR AN ENGINE BLOWOUT. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE OIL COOLER AT A COST OF $500+ BECAUSE THE GASKET CAN'T BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. MAZDA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS BEFORE PEOPLE GET STRANDED ON THE ROAD. IF YOU SEARCH THIS OIL LEAK ONLINE, YOU FIND DOZENS OF POSTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER CX-7 OWNERS. THIS IS A CROSSOVER SUV GEARED TOWARDS FAMILIES. I DRIVE MY KIDS AROUND IN IT AND NOW AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR. *TR
