NHTSA Complaint #10640140 — 2007 MAZDA CX-7

I PURCHASED MY CAR, A 2007 MAZDA CX7 USED WITH 34,000 MILES ON IT APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO. I WAS DRIVING APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING. I WAS ABLE TO GO AROUND THE CORNER AND GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE GARAGE NEAR MY WORK WHO USUALLY MAINTAINS MY CAR. THEY SAID THAT THE REPAIRS WERE GOING TO COST $3742.00. TWO VALVES NEED GROUND AND NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FIND THAT MAZDA HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE CX7 VEHICLES, BUT THEY ARE NOT COVERING THE REPAIRS. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR, HAVE REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE, AND DO NOT PUT A LOT OF MILES, OR DRIVE MY CAR HARD. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPEN OTHER THAN DEFECTIVE PARTS FROM MAZDA!!!! THEY SHOULD MAKE THIS RIGHT. THESE CARS ARE EXPENSIVE AND THE OWNER SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING SUCH MAJOR REPAIR COSTS WITH SO FEW MILES ON THE CAR. *TR
