Replying to: sproud (Sep 24, 2009 1:06 pm) With that said, even with the proof of service records, Mazda legally doesn't have to do anything for you. Now, in reality, they really should with only a few hundred miles over the warranty AND you have complete proof of service records. . Have them call in the Mazda regional manage to review your situation. As a matter of good faith, they really MUST replace the engine. If they don't then call your local consumer advocate (TV, newspaper) and get them on the case. Nothing like bad publicity on TV to get your problem resolved. |

Replying to: howardru (Sep 25, 2009 2:51 am) http://www.authorizedfordwarranties.com/mazda/plan-TotalCare.html You can get a quote for your car in this system but these are "list' prices. They have the 120/100 for a CX-7 AWD under 25K miles for $2187. Think I paid $1600 at the dealer. |

| Well I've spent most of my morning searching for others who are having the same issues I am having with my CX -7 (07) and I have to say that surprisingly I have been able to find a lot of people with similar issues. BTW the warranty for the power terrain is 60,000 not 36,000. My vehicle is still under warranty and Mazda is also claiming that even though the timing chain broke and the VVT acuator that the engine damage was due to lack of maintenance not due to the breaking of the chain. It sounds like as consumers we have to stand up and fight these bullies! I'm a single mother, work hard for my money, and now I have to pay a car that doesn't run! Its been in the shop since May so I have now been out of a car for 4 months even though I pay my monthly payments, pay my vehicle insurance, I still have no vehicle. Oh and by the way I did purchase the extended warranty but that does you no good if you're car still falls under the original warranty. | |

Replying to: desertgirl1 (Sep 29, 2009 9:54 am) Powertrain is the transmission system or AWD system for turning the wheels. A timing chain break (which seems to be very suspect) is an engine failure, not drive train failure, thus a timing chain failure is only covered under the 36K mile warranty. Any, I would recommend that you contact this person at the USDOT and let him know of your issue, and that of the dozens of other owners who are having this problem with the 07 model. Derek L.

So just returned from Mazda dealer my complaint was the engine sounds like a diesel ticking noise , At first they said it sounded normal then another tech came over and stated that it sounds like a chain slap noise ,After they removed the manifold they determined that the engine had jumped time and that the timing chain needed to be replaced requesting for me to provide the Oil change receipts or neither they nor Mazda would cover the repair ( who keeps these receipts ) So a couple of questions other than this noise the car runs great , 1) if it has jumped timing shouldn't the engine light come on , 2) It only has 27,000 miles Do I really need to provide receipts of past oil changes , Which I can get , But what about if I changed it myself . Thank you Bill
