Re: Mazda replaced the engine in my 07 CX-7 [antzpatti]
I have a 2008 that I am still paying for and was told the engine blew because of lack of oil changes. This is complete hogwash and am looking for information about a class action law suit against Mazda. If anyone knows how I can get involved. I have read hundreds of posting about the engine of the CX7 being a complete piece of china. Mazda mailed a letter stating they ... Read More

POS CX-7...Mazda sucks!
We bought a 2008 CX-7 Grand Touring on February 19, 2011 with around 26,000 miles on it. On January 30, 2012 (around 36,000 miles) the engine light came on and the vehicle lost all power. We took it to our mechanic to have it diagnosed and it came back that the Mass Air Flow Sensor was bad. We had that replaced, but it made no difference at all. The engine light ... Read More

Re: engine problem! [nvrbymzd]
I bought 2008 Mazda cx-7 used at 16,000 mile on it. Had oil changed couple times and at 35,000 mile and engine quit. I took it to dealer and told me that your engine is sludge up with oil and due to lack of maintenance warranty is voided. They will not repair under warranty. This is ripoff.

Mazda CX7 '07 Engine Shot
Guess I've joined the club.....engine shot at 72,000 miles, extended warranty will not cover due to "lack of maintanence" even with receipts. Since purchasing gently used in 2008, 3 sets of tires, no power, needed turbo sensor, clicking noise, sparks coming out of steering column, bad / foggy headlights, windshield seal causing major passenger side leakage, sludge and metal in the engine, whirring noise lasting for 3 minutes after shut-off.

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

The problem is that I may have a very hard time getting reimbursed. I would like all the information I can get before I go to Mazda with ... Read More

Hi. I am leasing a 2008 Mazda CX-7. My lease is up in a few months. I've had nothing but problems. Today, I was driving on the garden state parkway and my car starting screeching.

Re: 2007 CX7 EGR valve [wwest]
Just discovered yesterday that Mazda does not cover the EGR on the 2007 model but it does cover the EGR on the 2008 model and up. This part is covered based on the adoption of other states using the California emissions standard. Using this standard allows the EGR valve to be covered for 60 or 80,000 miles. My dealer was not aware of this but another dealer and Mazda USA both ... 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: Mazda CX7 fuel [ylz]
This topic has been discussed endlessly. The fact is, since 2008 the turbo was tweaked (ECU and cat) to permit operation on regular gas, with reduced performance. The non-turbo version was introduced because dealers squawked about the poor mileage numbers. If you want the turbo's kick in the pants, then the small price differential on the fuel shouldn't put you out.

Re: Could have been killed in a 2008 Mazda CX-7 [wrenfox]
In Canada the three year warranty is for 80,000km or 50,000 miles. I wonder why the U.S. warranty is for only 36,000 miles. Strange. I agree your vehicle has been a lot of trouble and I wouldn't want another one either. Why don't you take your Mazda to a detailing shop and see if they can get the anti freeze smell out.

Re: Could have been killed in a 2008 Mazda CX-7 [wrenfox]
What was the dealer's reasoning for not wanting to cover the labour on your CX-7? It is still under full warranty unless you have a lot of miles on it. You can pick up an extended warranty from any dealer and that is probably not a bad idea. Will cost you some money but give you peace of mind. The coolant smell should go away in a few days.

Re: resale value my friend [wwest]
From the CX-7's transaxle to the rear the driveline is an EXACT duplicate of the Ford Escape, Edge, etc. That is incorrect. First, the Escape is 4WD, not AWD. Second, the Edge uses Ford's in-house built AWD system, similar to a Haldex FWD based AWD system. Mazda uses their own Active Torque-Split AWD, which is also a FWD based AWD system. So, they are similar in design, but they are not ... Read More

Or do they buy a certain # of units overall (ie 10 '08 CX-7's, etc)? I ask this b/c when I bought a couple months ago, the incentive was flat $7K off any 08 CX-7. I called my salesguy a few days ...

GT Pricing
I've been following the local pricing on the 2008 CX-7s since I bought mine a few months ago. One of the local Seattle-Tacoma dealers (don't recall which one) was advertising remaining GT's at $8,000 off of MSRP in the local newspaper last weekend. Also, those looking for remaining inventory may find the Mazda USA website a resource to search for inventory by zip code.

Heard some new info...not 100% verified but ....
We have bought (see post a page or two ago), but I hear some Mazda incentives were completely "cut" on 2008's. Sounds like dealers had the option to purchase them (taking them off the floor plan) without titling them, getting all incentives applied, or staying at invoice minus marketing support on floor plan. Saw GM/Ford do that so wouldn't be surprised. If they took the deal, they are in at net-net-net ... Read More

Re: October 2008 Mazda CX 7 lease incentives [nagy]
Hi nagy. Unfortunately, Mazda is no longer providing lease support on the 2008 CX-7. This means that if you want to lease one, you will have to do so through an independent bank...if you can even find one that is willing to lease you this truck. If I was in the market for an '08 CX-7, I personally would take advantage of its current special financing offer and finance it at ... Read More

Re: September 2008 CX-7 Money Factor and Residual Values [michiganwed]
Hi michiganwed. The money factor that you were quoted is definitely too high. Mazda's current buy rate lease money factor for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier and lease an '08 CX-7 right now for 36 months is only .00107. Is your credit in decent shape? If so, then you definitely should consider switching dealers. I personally would not do business with a dealer that tried to mark my ... Read More

Re: September 2008 CX-7 Money Factor and Residual Values [michiganwed]
Hello michiganwed. Let's take a look at the lease program for the model that you are interested in. Mazda's program for the 2008 CX-7 varies by term and mileage allowance. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different.

I think it should be earlier in this thread, but slammed right now at work. If it's not,I'll throw it up later.

MPG 2008 Sport FWD
On my first five tanks of gas since purchasing my 2008 FWD CX-7 last month, the MPG has ranged from a low of 21.2 (70%/30% city/highway) to a high of 27.4 (all highway). I've been using 87 octane regular with 10 percent ethanol, with no discernable performance problems. The dealer's service rep indicated they were told by Mazda that regular was OK to use in the 2008s. So far, the MPG ... Read More

I clearly stated that I was asking them ... Read More

Re: I'm really interested in the Mazda cx7 -torn between that and an Edge [weinerdowndog]
2008 and later CX7s also can use regular fuel. In 2007 they required premium, but not any more. Also consider the RAV4 V6 and the Forester XT. Those are quick and relatively efficient for the level of performance they provide.

We have had our CX-7 GT FWD for two years come Oct. 5, 2008. Our total milage is just below 12,000 miles. The vehicle has been trouble free since we owned it.

Re: I need feedback for 2008 Mazda CX-7 lease [varloro]
Hi varloro. Don't feel too bad about leasing, it is not as bad a deal as you think. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. It is important to negotiate as low a price as possible when leasing, because the selling price is used to calculate your monthly payment. The lower your vehicle's price is, the lower your lease ...
