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.

NHTSA recall number 16V-593. My car makes a rattle when I step on the brakes. When it is wet outside my brakes make a different noise until they dry out. Mazda said it wasn't a problem. Another business I go to said it's probably the rocker arms that need replacement.

For 2 years a recall has been in effect for replacing ball joints on this model. After talking to the dealer on 2 different occasions, I have been told that they are waiting on the parts. On Dec. 13 2017 I was told I would be contacted within 30 days by Mazda for scheduling this work. But still no response.

1) we received notification of the recall when we purchased the used vehicle on 7/8/2017. The manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner. The safety risk associated with this recall is the vehicle may experience significant loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The airbag light has been on for past year. The dealership said they can make it turn off but I'm assuming since the light is on my airbag is disabled and won't work when and if it needs to.

I received a recall a year ago and have heard nothing further. The recall notice references NHTSA campaign no. 16V-593. I fail to understand how a safety recall can go ignored by the manufacturer and your Agency for over a year.
