Consumer Description

THE OIL COOLER ON MY 2008 MAZDA CX-7 BEGAN LEAKING AROUND THE RUBBER O-RING A FEW WEEKS AGO. MY MECHANIC CALLED FERMAN MAZDA IN BRANDON, FL TO GET A REPLACEMENT AND WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE OLD STYLE OIL COOLER HAD PROBLEMS AND MAZDA RE-DESIGNED A NEW ONE, AND NOW MAZDA OWNERS HAVE TO SPEND OVER $400 TO BUY A NEW ONE BECAUSE THE RUBBER GASKET AND OIL COOLER ARE NOT MANUFACTURED ANYMORE. OIL HAS COVERED MY ENGINE AND THE PLASTIC ENGINE COVER UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE HEAT FROM THE ENGINE CAN CAUSE A FIRE IF IT SPRAYS UP NEAR THE PLUGS/STARTER. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE OIL COOLER, HOWEVER FERMAN MAZDA DOES NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR
