AC problems

Written by: tamtam2 on Aug 27, 2009 02:40 PM

I have been driving a 2007 for two years now, I have always loved the car up until now. At 37,500 miles (yes, 1500 miles after the warranty ran out), my AC compressor locked up. The air started blowing warm then started seeing smoke from under the hood. I took my car to a mechanic who quoted me $2000.00 to fix it, but suggested I take it back to my dealership because any ...

The AC compressor on my 2007 Maxzda CX7 has fried twice, once at 30k miles and again at 60k miles. The trend is obvious. I have sent my info to the nhtsa investigation board. I would gladly participate in any kind of customer group challenging Mazda to address my financial implications of this defective system. Read More...

I'm not going into detail about everything I have been through with Mazda, but I am going to fight this. After all the blogs and forums I have read, this should have been a recall! ... Read More...

I bought my 2007 Mazda CX7 in November of 2006. I did not use the A/C until summer of 2007 then again summer of 2008. My mileage is approx 44,000. I live in a rural area so I have long distance driving to go anywhere. This being my 3rd summer of A/C I was totally dumbfounded when the air started blowing warm in May 2009. Reading these posts I see I am not alone. I am ready to ... Read More...

Acura RDX vs Mazda CX-7

Re: resale value my friend [wwest]

Written by: aviboy97 on Jun 23, 2009 10:34 AM

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, ... Read More...

Drove from Detroit to Fort Wayne, Indiana (3 hour drive) to speak directly with service adviser and return rental car as I can't afford to keep this. I was informed that the battery cable is part of a wiring harness, and isn't as simple as a battery cable as I know it. It appears that the part has some sort of resistor part (like a fuse) that broke in two. I took pictures ... Read More...

AC Compressor

Written by: theblackscotty on Jun 16, 2009 04:35 AM

I found this forum as a result of searching for AC Compressor problems on my 2007 Mazda CX-7. I was about 250 miles from home when my vehicle became non-drive able. I would like to add the following information: 1) The vehicle has just under 44,000 miles on it. 2) Dealership tells me that the cost to repair just the compressor (which seized) is $1,400 (I do not know ...
