CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2009 Mazda CX-7 appears to share the same engine & A/C defects as the two previous model years: VVT/timing chain failure, turbo failure, & the A/C compressor clutch seizing. The timing chain failure is especially bad with many cars requiring an engine replacement ($9,000+).
In 2011, Mazda began a "Special Service Program" that extended the warranty to 7 years/70,000 miles covering turbocharger oil leaks & excessive timing chain noise — an early sign of timing chain failure. However coverage under the program requires perfect documentation of all required maintenance with other stipulations. Buyer beware.

"takata recall' my valve stem is broken on my tire. The tire dealer has a 3 llb coffee can full of these. Nobody will take responsibility for faulty products. I only have 6 thousand miles on a new set of tires. What am I supposed to do. The replacement valves cost half of the price of a tire and I live on a fixed income. Please help
