I can't believe my eyes. I didn't realize so many of you are having exactly same problem as me. I owe 2007 CX-7 and I bought this car in Dec., 2008. The car currently has 45K. My A/C compressor broke yesterday on the highway and broke the main belt which locked steering wheel while I was driving. I am a female drive and I panicked. If this is happening to so many of us, something must be seriously wrong. I mean, many of us are experiencing this in such an early stage of car's life. My car is in a shop right now and tomorrow, the repair will start. I am planning to file a report and call Mazda corporate in Irvine, CA and the dealer I purchased the car from. They need to pay my bill!!!!!

| Can anyone tell us what indentifying marks to look for on the compressor to tell if a vehicle has the new or old design unit? | |

So glad I ponied up a few extra $ to buy the Extended Warranty for 10 Years/120K miles. Drop in the bucket compared to what you guys are seeing. Go for Mazdas (which you can get before your 36K/3 Year expires) or from AAA at very reasonable rates. I hate hidden surprises....

Replying to: des5 (Sep 17, 2009 9:40 am) With a Turbo, AWD transmission and fully loaded electronics I easily expect to have more than $1500 in repairs before the 10 years/120K miles. Probably before 6. Even if my wife drives it like little Miss Daisy (which she calls her car) I just know something will happen. Essentially I bet $1500 on it. I don't care how well a car is made these days... Sh*t happens and so does bad luck. That's why I did the same for my 08 CX-9. Other than car payments, I have no "out of warranty" failures to worry about for quite some time...
