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.

Mazda sent me a recall notice in August of 2016. The recall stated that water could possibly enter the front suspension lower arm ball joint during driving. As a result of the looseness, a rattle may occur at ball joint lower control arm. After extended operation in such a circumstance, it could separate and getting into a crash could become easier. This is a safety issue that needs addressed immediately, as I have been waiting over a year for this issue to be fixed.
It has been 1 year since the recall was made. But the parts were never available. I went through winter in Chicago feeling unsafe. I don't think they are replacing my lower control arm. They are postponing it to hope that I will forget about it.
I was notified in July of two recalls on my Mazda(9516E airbag and 9716H lower control arm)the car is unsafe to drivewill Mazda give special rebate to puschase a new car I was notified in July of two recalls (9516E airbag and9716 lower control arm) it ihas been two months with no parts avaible.the car is parked and unsafe to drive, can I get a rebate and purchase a new car on this car.
Mazda is refusing to fix the recall on my vehicle saying that it's not a safety recall. The last time I checked the lower control arms separating from the ball joints was a safety issue. I have called the dealer and they can't get the part or don't want to they told me the first time it was the brakes popping and now they say nothing is wrong with it at all. Mazda corporate doesn't seem like they care either. They told me it was safe to drive not to worry about it. My vehicle is making popping noises in the front end and they don't want to fix it. They want to pawn it off on another part of the vehicle.
Back in December 2013; I took my Mazda to its sheehy dealer to get my usual oil changes, etc. It was referred by the dealer that I have my steering fluid drained and replaced. I paid for this work to be done; however, problems began to occur with my power steering sometime around April 2014 in which my steering wheel would get so tight while driving that I could barely turn. I took the car back to the dealer in which they now state that I have a bad power steering pump which disallows the vehicle to perform its normal steering. This is a safety hazard in which Mazda only recognizes this issue with its Mazda 3 vehicles, etc. However, the issue of failed power steering pumps on its Mazda vehicles such as the Mazda 3, 6, Cx-7, and cx-9 from year 2010 to present needs to be investigated because I have met others who are now dealing with this same issue which can breach the safety of the owner of that vehicle, other vehicles, and pedestrians in and around the traveling area. Mazda fails to recognize this problem in which I am looking to the federal government to look into this issue.
