CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2010 Mazda CX-7 appears to share the same engine defects as the three previous model years: VVT/timing chain failure & turbo failure. 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 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.

The contact owns a 2010 Mazda Cx-7. while driving, the driver's seat moved and shook. The dealer diagnosed that the vehicle needed a new seat. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 98,000.
New headrests since 2010 are terrible. My neck constantly hurts because I like to sit against the back of my seat, and my head is pushed forward at an angle no matter how I try to adjust the headrests in my CX7. These "safety" regulations are causing me pain and permanent neck issues. These safety regulations need to be revised.
