Replying to: rethwilm (Mar 13, 2007 5:36 am) I had my Turanzas replaced with less than 24k on the car!  I will say that Bridgestone did contact me about the tires to try and settle up on them... AFTER I had bought another set of tires! I settled for the Yokahamas, and got a plus '0' wider tire which made a tremendous gripping difference. The Bridgestones were about 350 a tire if I remember right, maybe more, and I couldn't see spending more money for a tire that just doesn't do well. Before you do anything, contact Bridgestone through their corporate website, and see if they can help you out with the tire wear issue; they might just replace them for you!

After I had my ECU flashed, I noticed a big improvement in the shift pattern and the smoothness of the tranny.  HOWEVER, while the up and down of shifting between 5th and 6th gear has been resolved, it now hangs too long in 4th gear to my liking.  Has anyone else had this experience?

Replying to: rethwilm (Mar 16, 2007 9:03 am) Got my FQIs done. The TSB for the Hesitation has not been improved to my liking. I still notice the hesitation, but most definitely notice the "shifty" shifting since. I thought it was my imagnination but after reading here, I can confirm, way to high on the RPMs and MPH before shifting into 6th and it does seem it skips 5th sometimes. I also notice now when I turn a corner and apply the gas, the hesitation is worse. I don't trust the car to pull out into traffic until I have more space to merge in and accelerate. So much for 244hp. I get better performance going into manual mode, but the hesitation is still there and by the time the hesitation is over 2nd or 3rd should have been manually shifted, but it's so quick I ended up reving to 6K RPMs before I realized what had happened. No more taking off in 1st in manual until I get a better feel for the manual shift. But the point is I shouldn't have to rely on manaul shifting just to feel safer when pulling into traffic. I just play it safe, make the guy behind me a little irritated and I wait until I feel safe enough to pull out to compensate for the hesitation. Good to be back. This is by far the best of the CX7 forums I have found. Roy |

Sorry to learn of your problems. This is the first instance I have heard of with a shifting problem such as yours. If your check this and other CX-7 sites, I don't think you will find a similar complaint. Yes,I think that it hangs too long in 4th gear and also go to manual many times, but that is a problem I have already discussed with my dealer who will look at it the next time I am there.  You have a completely different situation and would suggest that you refer back to your dealership in writing and copy in Mazda USA about this. It is really most unusual. Good luck and welcome back
