Ok hey, i have the Mazda cx-7 and the only issue i have is that it doesnt have an aux jack, so i cant play my music of my iphone. SO i was wondering if anybody knows another way, to play music from my phone through my car, without installing, a whole bunch of stuff.

Well, don't feel too bad. My CEL came on this last weekend and took it into the shop first thing yesterday morning. Mazda paid for rental car. Got the CX back this afternoon. Problem was defective Gas Cap - apparently, according to the service advisor, Mazda has re-designed the gas cap for the CX-7 (looks different than the original I had).

Good idea about establishing separate sub-fora, but I think you need to change the title of this forum: Mazda CX-7 Transmission Problems. People who are exploring the CX-7 and trying to gain useful information will immediately get the wrong idea that the CX-7 has major problems with the transmission, which is not the case.

I have 36,380 miles on my Mazda CX-7, 2007 and the Mazda dealer says that I need a new engine, due to lack of maintenance. I only had the car for 3 months, it was in under warranty the first week for a new A/C compressor, then in again for a new r/headlight replacement/wiring and all - due to something electrical. Now it needs a new engine.

Had you known of the "brown wire mod" YESTERDAY, you could have gone ahead and purchased the F/awd CX-7 without having to wait for Mazda's "improvement." By the way, the new Venza and 2010 RX350 both use the CX-7's F/awd system virtually exactingly. The only exception I see is the lack of PTO cooling that the CX-7 has already.

2007 CX-7 GT with 50K Recently had a problem with the engine surging/losing-power during acceleration. Felt at first like a transmission problem as if the tranny was slipping, but with no bang. Felt at first like a transmission problem as if the tranny was slipping, but with no bang.

When I inquired in this same Mazda forum about why the difference in the "courtesy lights" feature between my 2008 CX-7 and 2008 CX-9 at the time, someone replied that it was one of the value-added "luxury" improvements of the higher-end CX-9 when compared to its "cheaper" cousin, the CX-7, but now I wonder if that was even true.

my wife and i got a cx-7 too. it was a dealer demo w/10k on it.back in June. then the black smoke started, back to Gorno Mazda (Michigan). when their mechanic finally showed up for work he looked at it. couldn't get it to smoke. tried to tell us we weren't using premium fuel. said that the clanging lifters and what smoke we (think we saw) is all normal.

This post really has the handle on the problem: angry_cx7, "Mazda CX-7 Engine Problems" #582, 2 Jun 2013 4:58 pm That said, if you really want to wait around three years for a $500 coupon off another Mazda, you can find class actions suits all over Google.
