EVERY SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED MY CAR, MY DOOR HANDLES ARE VERY LOOSE, I'VE HAD TO GET THE DRIVER ONE FIXED AND IT'S LOOSE AGAIN. IT CAUSES ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO USE THAT DOOR. ALL MY WINDOWS WILL NOT GO UP ONCE I PUT THEM DOWN AND THEY ARE ALSO MAKING NOISES. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE DIMMER FROM WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR, AND I HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THEM BECAUSE THEY KEEP GOING OUT.

TAKATA RECALL. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A DANGER. MY 2009 MAZDA CX-7 IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE INSIDE OF THE LAMPS ARE ALL COATED. I NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT. THEY ARE JUST A DEATH TRAP. I CANNOT USE THEM. I USE MY BRIGHTS SO I DON'T GET IN AN ACCIDENT.

NHTSA complaint #11089194 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
WINDOW MOTORS; SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASE MY VEHICLE MY DRIVER WINDOW WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO GO UP ONCE IT WENT DOWN. THEN IT GOT WORSE AND MADE A LOUD SOUND WHEN IT WENT UP AND ONE WOULD HAVE TO PULL IT UP. NOW THE DRIVER WINDOW DOES THAT. ITS HARD TO GET IT UP ONCE ITS DOWN AND MAKES A LOUD SOUND. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT BOTH WINDOWS ARE NOW NOT WORKING.
NHTSA complaint #11051053 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
WHEN DRIVING THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. WAS TOLD FROM MAZDA SERVICE DEPT. THAT IT WAS VVT (VARIABLE VALVE TIMING) ITS A CHAIN WHICH IS - THE PROCESS OF ALTERING THE TIMING OF A VALVE LIFT EVENT, AND IS OFTEN USED TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, FUEL ECONOMY OR EMISSIONS. IT IS INCREASINGLY BEING USED IN COMBINATION WITH VARIABLE VALVE LIFT SYSTEMS. I WAS TOLD THAT MOST MAZDA CARS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AFTER MILES OF DRIVING AND THE COST OF REPAIRS IS ALMOST $2000. MAZDA ISN'T TRYING TO COVER THE REPAIR WHICH IS SHOWING TO BE HAPPENING ON ALMOST ALL OF THEIR SUVS.

NHTSA complaint #11022873 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
RECALL 9716H (FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM) WAS SENT OUT IN OCTOBER 2016 AND 10 MONTHS LATER THERE IS NO SOLUTION OR ETA TO THE SOLUTION. IN THE INTERIM, WE ARE DRIVING A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE VEHICLE DURING DANGEROUS TIMES OF THE YEAR (WINTER). RECALL 1317F (AIR BAG INFLATOR) I WAS DENIED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT DUE TO A TECHNICIANS STRIKE AND OFFERED NO RECOURSE OR OPTIONS IN THE INTERIM. ANNOUNCED SAFETY ISSUES WHEN NO IMMEDIATE REPAIR IS AVAILABLE, SHOULD AT MINIMUM BE HAVE THE REQUIREMENT TO OFFER DRIVERS A SAFE AND COMPARABLE RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE A SOLUTION IS PUT INTO PLACE. WE ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE MAZDA HAS NOW ESSENTIALLY SAID "WE SOLD YOU AN UNSAFE CAR SO JUST KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL WE FIXING IT FITS INTO OUR SCHEDULE".
