Re: My Mazda's Noise [scgal]
The engines are all the same in 2007. I named mine "misbehaving b****" for sharing purposes here. I can't believe you made it to over 100,000 miles without any problems. You must have gotten the one vehicle off the line that was built with better parts. Good for you. The rest of us are jealous. I would recommend dumping the thing while it still runs and you haven't been stuck with ... Read More

My Mazda's Noise
I'm a 2007 CX-7 owner (her name is Cici... :) bought new and have treated like a baby! I drive a lot and have 103,000 miles. It's just started making a high-pitched rattling noise, from the time I crank it until I turn the key off. Does this sound like the timing chain problem you-all have had? This is my 3rd Mazda (had a millinia and tribute before) and I've been ... Read More

2007 CX-7 GT AWD Turbo Replaced
Just had the turbo replaced at 64,850 miles today. Brought the CX-7 in for an oil change and to diagnose a rattle-ling/clunking noise when accelerating on 01/02/12. I have the Mazda Extended Protection Plan (Easy Care) which I had to fight tooth and nail to get them to cover the turbo replacement. After 9-days of proving that my records and the Mazda Shop Foreman's observations were correct on having no signs ... Read More

Re: 2007 CX7 EGR valve [hlynnbv]
Had the same issue with my 2007 in October 2010! Mazda dealership quoted me $700 for the repair! And since I had just spend $4500 to replace my out of warranty engine because of the timing chain busting (Mazda did manage to cough up $2500 since I had maintenance records) I decided to get a second opinion. Took it to a mechanic a friend recommended and he quoted me $250 for ... Read More

Re: POS MAZDA [mazdasucks2]
Not to defend Mazda-but why are you attacking wwest? Depending on the price point, the state where purchased, and from whom... used cars are "buyer beware." no warranty for the most part. Assuming that the present owner has taken meticulous care of the Mazda cx-7.... how do you know that previous owner didn't run it low on oil or coolant?--(even once) and for the cx-7-- that is more serious than the ...

Complete engine failure at 62,000 miles
It seems like 62,000 miles is a magic odometer reading for CX-7 engine failure. Our 2008 CX-7 experienced a complete engine failure at 61,996 miles. This failure occurred without any warning: the engine had not previously experienced any problems or made any unusual noises, no indicator lights had signaled a problem, and we had made oil and oil filter changes in accordance with the maintenance schedule. The failure created an extremely ... Read More

Another Victim
Yup, Saturday, driving down the road and my lovely 2007 CX-7 with all of 62,000 miles on it decides to stop running. Had it towed to the mechanic and they say cam shaft but after reading these posts, I don't believe it. What they did admit is that they can't handle it. It's an engine replacement that will be needed. So, there it sits until I can figure out what to ... Read More

Re: Mazda 2007 cx7 [tootie6]
Much like the backside of the intake valves in a DFI engine, your EGR valve will get coated with residue from the exhaust flow. It's generally quite easy to remove the EGR valve and clean the valve and valve seat.

Re: Smoke from exhaust - Mazda 2007 CX-7 [wwest]
And then again the A/C compressor could be stalled/locked and it is the compressor drive belt generating all the smoke. That's a possibility. Im not a tech, but, either way, these CX-7's have had issues. No other Mazda in the last 20 years, outside the RX-8, have been plagued by such issues.

If your critical fluids are normal it sounds like the turbo has /or is going out It most likley is not the turbo. If the smoke is white, it's due to the PCV system, in which there is no fix for.

On Wednesday, he called to inform me that Mazda is extending the A/C warranty on specific 2007 VINs to 5-years/60,000 miles. A letter from the manufacturer is forthcoming and you all might call your service departments with any questions; not sure if they ... Read More

2008 CX-7 42,000 air compressor smoked
Mazda really needs to recall the air compressor on the 2007 and 2008 models. There are way too many complaints for the issue to be owners not taking care of their vehicles as one poster suggested. I'm a big believer in regular maintenance and my 2008 Mazda CX-7 (purchased in Dec. 2007) blew the air compressor this weekend at 42,000 miles. Luckily, I was not too many miles from my home ...

Re: Still angry [lulusboutique]
I bought my 2007 cx-7 new in October 2006--now has 60,000 miles. Only major problem has been timing chain/ water pump/ VVT actuator repacement.If I can get to 100,000 miles w/o any other breakdowns I will be satisfied with Mazda. I check the fluids weekly and have the vehicle serviced at 5,000 and 30,000 mile intervals. Going 100,000 miles with one timing chain/ water pump replacement isn't bad and I would ... Read More

broken timing chain
Ill add to the list of damaged timing chains and my 2007 CX7 story... Purchased new early 08. Within a week brought car back for road/engine noise. (I drive 50k miles a year I know what my car should sound like...) "No sir all the CX7s sound that way its the fuel injectors..." Well then there was the 17mpg all highway miles documented by the dealership. Then the VVT replacement, AC ... Read More

2007 CX-7 45,000 miles
On the way from Idaho to our vacation in California, our AC started blowing hot air. We pulled over to check and found the compressor had a bearing noise. There were no service stations open @ 5 pm on a Saturday in the town we were in (and no Mazda dealers there either), so we decided it was less of a gamble to try to drive 400 miles back home rather ...

Re: engine problem! [sproud]
I have found 100s of blogs from 2007 CX-7 Owners just like me. My Story: Purchased a used 2007 CX-7 with 31,000 miles (still under warranty, allegedly). Drove it for four months to the day, 34,000 miles on it now. White smoke, knocking engine. Mazda requests past oil changes which I have one. Mazda presents me with a $4,100 estimate to fix replace the turbo, engine repair and timing chain. Notice ... Read More

Re: air compressor 2007 CX7 AC [dunderwood1823]
No, I had not purchased the extended warranty. My dealer, who I use for all service, knows me well. I have gone there with the threads from here and used it for them to check different things on my Mazda. Service manager said usually they cover the labor costs but I would have had to pay for parts, because I have been a loyal customer they covered all of it. This ... Read More

air compressor 2007 CX7 AC
I have a CX 7 with 47,000 miles on it, love the handling of the car, love the look, wish I could feel like the car was dependable. My story is like many others. Went to wedding this weekend 300 miles from home. Was driving to the church, car made funny sounds, thought at first it was the brakes (squeaking like wet brakes) but then it stopped so I thought nothing, ... Read More

Have had all these problems ... and then some
I have a CX-7, purchased in April 2007. It was great for the first year or so, but I put a lot of miles on it and so I have seen and experienced nearly every single thing mentioned in this forum. But wait. There's more to come, if I'm the precursor for what you can all expect. I have 104,000 miles on my vehicle after three years -- I drive a ... Read More

New to the Party
So it happened to me. 2007 CX-7 with regular service and the Mazda service mechanic again says "sludge, engine is destroyed." They're in the process of taking pictures, but I know what the end result is going to be from being in this room. I spoke with a very reputable mechanic in my area who said none of this adds up. He said that an engine that old should not die ... Read More

another story
My husband bought a new 2007 Mazda CX-7 and has the engine problems you all are describing. Of course, they blamed it on severe engine sledge and maintenance neglect... very frustrating as we have documentation of regular maintenance and oil changes. Rather than pay the $7000 they quoted him for a "re-built" engine (whatever that means!), we found "Autowise" in Indianapolis, where a mechanic within 10 minutes told him it had ... Read More

Timing chain problem
My 2007 CX7 has 59,300 miles on it. It is in the shop getting a new ac compressor, and check up before the powertrain warranty is out. About 4,000 miles ago I brought it in for engine noise and they replaced the VVT Valve. They did not replace the timing chain or water pump like many are saying. They did cover the VVT valve under warranty. Will replacing only the valve ... Read More

Re: Mazda CX7 AC Problems [bcurtis]
Just checking out posts about the ac problems. My 2007 Cx7 has 59,300 miles on it and is in shop getting checked out for all multiple noises before the powertrain warranty runs out. They are finding lots of issues, but none that are covered. I wasn't aware the ac had widespread problems, just knew mine was not working good at low mph, and the compressor sounded very noisy when it kicked ... Read More

Re: Engine failure [boogitybop]
Driving a 2007 Cx-7 with 60,000 miles. Noticed a slight , but not loud "rattling noise" upon cold start up and brought car in to the franchised Mazda dealer service department. Dealer replaced water pump, timing chain, VVT actuator, and rear seals in the drivetrain. Only cost to me was a rental car for one day. Covered under 5 year /60,000 mile drivetrain warranty. No hassle about "sludge" or any other ... Read More

Re: CX -7 engine problems [lulusboutique]
Christina: You never mentioned how many miles are on your 2007 cx-7. The MAzda power train warranty clearly covers the timing chain, VVT actuator, water pump and most all internal engine parts to 60,000 miles or 5 years from your in service date. How come the dealer didn't cover this under warranty?

Re: CX -7 engine problems [lulusboutique]
Driving a 1st generation 2007 CX-7 (55,000 miles) and yes, just had the timing chain, VVT actuator (keeps timing chain tight) water pump, and driveline gaskets replaced. Mazda power train warranty covered everything except a rental car for one day. Upon a cold start, was hearing a little "chain rattle" and was fortunate to bring the cx-7 in for repair before catastrophic engine damage took place. I now believe al the ... Read More

Re: new cx7 and starting issues [ironyabounds]
I agree! I have had nothing but problems with the 2007 CX7 we bought new to bring to Europe with us while stationed here. Since getting here the AC Compressor has gone out ($1,000 no warranty thank you), shocks, brakes, vent air, defroster leaks all over the floor, lights and alarms that go off for no reason, and now the darn thing won't start. I understand brakes and shocks...but the rest ... Read More

Good to know, thanks. Does anyone know IF bluetooth can be installed and used with the navigation PKG? (I'd like to be able to make phone calls and speak through the ceiling microphone used for the navigation commands and hear the person through the car speakers.) And approximately how much something like that would cost??

2007 Mazda CX-7 Bluetooth
I just purchased a 2007 Mazda CX-7 Grand Touring with the Navigation package. I called Mazda support center, they told me the 2007 model did not come with bluetooth. However, I have something on the ceiling (to the left of the cieling microphone) above the driver's head, which appears to be bluetooth. At night, it lights up with a blue light. It looks like bluetooth. The vehicle was leased before I ... Read More
