#20 of 25 Re: CX -7 engine problems [maytagman] by mmasterson1 Oct 31, 2009 (4:11 pm)
Replying to: maytagman (Oct 31, 2009 3:29 pm) If you read mine that is exactly what happened and here is one better for you. At my 30,000 mile oil change the Mazda Dealership said there was sludge. But I had properly maintained the engine, so I had them clean the sludge. Then the incident with the timing chain breaking occurred at 34k miles, heres the kicker, when the Mazda dealership I towed it to opened it up... you guessed it SLUDGE. And of course they are citing improper maintenance as the reason. BUt how can an engine have more sludge f it has been cleaned. Assuming the cleaning was done, that means the engine must burn oil at an outrageous rate and producing the more than average sludge. Combine that with the multiple notations that the turbo engine of the CX-7 produces extreme pressure and heat (direct statement from Mazda white papers and Mazda District Managers) that equals...drumroll...an engineering defect!

You've done everything I would do except for one thing.   Here in Boston, some of the local ABC, CBS and NBC news affiliates have a consumer advocate that reports on scams or bad business. These spots are run during the evening news. Ild call them and have them show up a the Mazda dealership or perhaps they can call Mazda USA and see what response they get now.   I'm truly hoping these problems have been resolved in the 2009 model.

Replying to: maytagman (Oct 31, 2009 3:29 pm) Here is a GREAT idea if you do not get the resolution you desire in this situation. Go and park your car outside the dealers entrance on weekends and tie a bag of lemons from every door handle on the car. In addition write a BIG sign that says Mazda sold me a lemon and wont fix it. I guarantee this will capture the attention of the service manager to resolve the issue. In the meantime drive all around town with the lemons hanging from your door handles. No making lemonade here, this is just sour business practices that need to be stopped.
#24 of 25 Class Action Suit by ajcooper Nov 16, 2009 (11:10 am)
My 07' Mazda CX-7 just had the same problem on the 13th, and guess what the dealership said the same thing due to improper maintanence which isn't the case at all, why should I have to go back and search 2 years worth of records for them to tell me tough luck, I am seriously looking into a class action lawsuit, has anyone looked into this already?

Replying to: ajcooper (Nov 16, 2009 11:10 am) I do not think anyone has looked into a class action suit. When I put my problem out there with the engine and then the turbine I did not know how many cars had a problem. I have all my records for oil changes and work at the dealer ship. They just did not want to see them.
