Mazda Cx-7 problems
The Mazda CX-7 is a mid-size crossover SUV from Mazda, and is the production version of the MX-Crossport concept car. It was shown publicly for the first time at the 2006 LA Auto Show in January. Production officially began on February 20, 2006 in Mazda's Ujina #2 factory in Hiroshima, and went on sale in April 2006 as a 2007 model. The CX-7 was Mazda's first mid-size SUV since the Navajo was discontinued in 1994, although the CX-7 is considered more of a 'Soft Roader'.
The mid-size CX-7 was positioned below the larger three-row Mazda CX-9; the vehicles did not share platforms. Instead, it used the Ford C1 platform that underpinned the Ford Focus and Mazda3. The CX-7 was discontinued in August 2012 in favor of the new Mazda CX-5; as the compact CX-5 has similar interior space to the mid-size CX-7.
Specifications
Engine and transmission
Power comes from the same 2.3 L inline-4 MZR L3-VDT DISI engine used in the Mazdaspeed3 and Mazdaspeed6 coupled with a six-speed Aisin F21 automatic transmission, and tuned to produce 244 hp or 182 kW (Australian model 175 kW) at 5000 rpm and 258 lb·ft (350 N·m) of torque at a low 2500 rpm, 99% of the maximum torque is available to 5000 rpm.
The MZR 2.3L DISI turbo engine was retuned in the North American specification CX-7 to deliver torque at a lower rpm for less turbo lag off the line, at the cost of power. This was achieved thanks to a redesigned, smaller K04 turbocharger. United Kingdom specification CX-7s featured the same, larger K04 turbocharger and transmission found in the Mazdaspeed line.

Common Mazda Cx-7 problems
Common Problems with the Mazda CX-7:
- Engine Misfires: Engine misfires can occur in the Mazda CX-7, which means that the engine is not getting enough fuel and/or spark. This can lead to bigger problems, such as an engine stall. To fix this issue, you can check the spark plugs to ensure they are in good condition, clean the fuel system for clogs or leaks, adjust the spark plug timing, or replace the fuel filter.
- Oil Leaks: Oil leaks are another common problem with the Mazda CX-7. If you notice a lot of oil under your vehicle, there could be a leak. If not repaired, this can damage other parts of the engine. To fix this issue, you can replace the leaking parts, such as the oil pan gasket, oil filter housing gasket, or valve cover gasket.
- Turbocharger Failure: The turbocharger in the Mazda CX-7 is prone to failure, resulting in a lack of power and acceleration. If this part fails, there will most likely be white smoke coming from the exhaust. Replacing the turbocharger will fix the problem.
- Seat Trim Breaking: The clips on the trim between the base of the front seats and the floor are made of plastic and are easily broken. This can be fixed by replacing the trim.
- EGR Valve Failure: If the EGR (Exhaust Gas Re-circulation) valves fail, it can lead to a lack of power when accelerating. The EGR valve gets blocked up, causing poor performance and you may also see a blue/black smoke coming from the exhaust. It can also lead to poor engine idling. You can remove the EGR valve and clean it out to remove the carbon build up.
- Door Seal Fault: The door seals on the CX-7 are known for failing, causing a creaking noise from the front doors when the vehicle is in motion. You will need to replace the door seals to fix the problem.
By addressing these common problems with the Mazda CX-7, you can keep your vehicle running smoothly and avoid costly repairs in the future.

Vehicle year: 2011
Hi there! I wanted to share my experience with my 2011 Mazda CX-7 I SV. In my opinion, it's a very reliable and good-looking SUV. Even with 275k miles, it still runs like new and I've never had any major issues with it. I haven't even had to replace the fuel pump, water pump, or timing belt. The only thing I'm currently dealing with is the driver side window regulator, but I know that's a common issue with these cars and I'll be getting it replaced soon. Other than that, I have no complaints. I've only had to replace the engine mount and a metal hose that overheated on me, but those were the only engine parts I've had to replace. Of course, I did replace the fan belt and will be replacing the spark plugs soon. Overall, I highly recommend this SUV and want to give a shoutout to Mazda for making such a reliable vehicle!

Hi there! I just wanted to share my experience with Mazdas. This is actually my fourth Mazda and I have to say, they have all been incredibly reliable over the years. I noticed that there are some mixed reviews on this particular car, with some people expressing discontent with the AWD and A/C. Personally, I didn't want AWD because of the added maintenance and potential problems, and if you're looking for an AWD car, I would recommend a Subaru. As for the A/C, I live in Arizona where it gets really hot, but there is a TSB out on the A/C for this car. If you demand that the dealer fix it under the TSB, your problem should go away. From a reliability perspective, I have had no problems with mine. In terms of mileage, I get about 23.7 mph in mixed driving, and the car is very fast with the 2.3 ltr engine. The only drawback I've experienced is that police tend to notice me more because of how fast it is! Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can help with.

Great combination of sport and utility. This is my 2nd CX-7. Purchased my '09 CX-7 AWD Sport(w/Bose and sunroof)in March after completing a short term lease on an '07. Perfect vehicle for a small family or an adventurous couple. It's a car(?) I love to drive on a daily basis and it's fantastic for road trips.(I mounted a trailer hitch on mine and we take our bicycles with us on our trips.) Mileage was quite poor on my '07, but I still bought my '09. Surprisingly mileage is better on my '09. I get around 18-19mpg in local driving and as much as 24mpg in pure highway driving(w/premium). For a little under 23K this is a CUV that could compete with more more expensive vehicles.

After driving my Mazda5 for five years without any problems, it was time to trade it in. I looked at other brands of smaller SUVs and minivans, but in the end, the reliability of my Mazda5 and the great dealer service convinced me to stay with Mazda. I have been driving the CX-7 since August 2010, and so far, I have not encountered even a trace of a problem. The CX-7 has undergone improvements in ride, quiet cabin, and interior appointments, all of which I appreciate. The seats are very comfortable, and the dashboard looks really smart. On my most recent highway trip, I averaged 30.5 miles per gallon, and in normal city driving, I average 22 mph. I absolutely love this car!

Your CX7 has been extremely reliable with 117,000 miles on it. I'm glad to hear that you find it more fun to drive than other competing brands. It's great to hear that you have been very pleased with it.
Are you having problems with your Mazda Cx-7?

I really like my car, but unfortunately, I have had some issues with its reliability. Every spring, my A/C fails due to a bad relay, and the A/C itself is not very strong. Additionally, the A/C drain gets clogged multiple times a year, causing water to leak into my floorboard. Although some dash lights were fixed under warranty, they are now out again, and the car's clear tail lights are turning white for some reason. When the fan engages, the car makes a loud clunk, which Mazda says is normal. The blue-tooth and audio streaming can be glitchy at times. Despite these issues, my car always receives compliments, and I appreciate its sleek black design with chrome door handles and trim. I had hoped that Mazda would be more reliable, but unfortunately, this has not been the case.

Although I have had some scary moments in my Mazda CX-7, I have been driving it for 3.5 years now with confidence. While it is true that the car loses traction in the rain, I have learned to anticipate this and adjust my driving accordingly. I am grateful that during a recent bad rain storm, I was able to maintain control of the car and avoid a potentially dangerous situation. While there have been some issues with the headlights and interior lights, my mechanic has been unable to fix them despite his best efforts. However, the stereo system is a definite highlight of the car and I enjoy it very much. Although I have experienced some trouble with the air conditioning and cruise control, I have taken care of the car and it has served me well up to 122k miles. While I am considering parting ways with this vehicle, I am confident that I will find a suitable replacement that meets my safety standards. Overall, I have had a positive experience with my Mazda CX-7 and I am grateful for the time we have spent together.

I purchased this car with 18k miles and was initially very pleased with it, despite the premium gas and lower gas mileage. It performed admirably on family trips from Ohio to Florida on three separate occasions. However, at 60k miles, I noticed an oil leak and discovered that the engine oil cooler was defective. Unfortunately, this was not covered under warranty, even though Mazda was aware of the issue. The cost to repair was $600+. Additionally, I experienced white smoke coming out of the exhaust due to a known issue with the vent kit, which was also not covered under warranty. The cost to repair this issue was $700+. At 98k miles, I suddenly noticed a rattling noise and discovered that the engine was low on oil by 4 quarts. There were no warning lights indicating low oil or any other issues. Unfortunately, a week later, the same issue occurred and the engine ultimately failed. While this experience has been frustrating, I am confident in my decision to move on from this car. Although I still owe on it, I have decided to junk it.

The 2008 CX7 is a car that I enjoyed driving, but unfortunately, it required a lot of maintenance over the years. Within three months of purchasing it brand new, I noticed that the exhaust tips were rusting, which was a bit disappointing. Over the next two years, I had to replace a door due to rust, the trailer hitch also rusted, and the tires only lasted for 18,000 miles. I now need new brakes and rotors, and the EGR valve has gone bad, which will cost $900 to repair. After considering all of these issues, I decided to trade in the vehicle and I'm excited to pick up my 2011 GMC Terrain tomorrow.

If you're considering purchasing this car, it's important to note that unless major repairs have been made to the engine, it may not be the most reliable option for you. Unfortunately, I experienced serious engine problems at 120k miles, which required costly repairs. However, I can confidently say that my Cx7 is in excellent shape now that I've had the fuel system rebuilt and replaced all the coils, spark plugs, and busted hydraulic engine mounts. If you have any questions about the car's reliability, feel free to ask!
