Consumer Description

JUST BOUGHT A USED 2007 MAZDA CX7 ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND THE CAR STARTING PRODUCING SMOKE OUT OF THE TAILPIPE. TOOK THE CAR IN AS IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE TURBO CHARGER IS GOING OUT IN THE CAR! I ASKED THE DEALER IF THIS IS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WAS NOT. THAT IS ABSURD! I WISH I WOULD HAVE READ ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR WITH PEOPLE HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE ORDEAL WITH CRAPPY SERVICE FROM THE DEALER BEFORE BUYING IT! THIS OUGHT TO BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BUYERS OF THE CX7. I FEEL TERRIBLE AS THIS WAS PURCHASED FOR MY MOM TO DRIVE WHO IS ON A FIXED INCOME AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE MAJOR REPAIRS DONE ON A CAR THAT WAS PURCHASED ONLY 2 MONTHS AGO! ME, NOR ANY OF MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE EVER OWNED A MAZDA VEHICLE AND BEST BELIEVE THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME WE DO! *TR
