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.

2010 Mazda Cx-7 waiting on the green light was hit in the passenger side of vehicle without side airbags deploying. I have photos if this would help. Police and firefighters were confused as to why the airbags did not deploy. The driver's side from front pillar to rear door was impacted. The front pillar has to be replaced.
