CX-7 30.2

  • Automatic transmission
  • 130,000 miles

I BOUGHT A MAXDA CX-7 2008 ON 02/28/18 FROM RUSS DARROW MAZDA FOR ALMOST $6000 CASH WITH A CLEAN CAR FAX REPORT. TWO WEEKS LATER THE CAR WAS CUTTING OFF EVERY TIME I MADE A STOP. I TOOK IT TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT HAD A MAJOR OIL LEAK THAT HE COULD NOT LOCATE AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER. HIS EXACT WORDS WERE "I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WOULD LET IT OFF THE LOT LIKE THAT."

SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK. THEY SAID THEY WOULD EXCHANGE IT BUT THEY HAD NOTHING COMPARABLE AT THE LOT. THE SALESMAN ADVISED ME TO RETURN THE NEXT WEEKEND AND LOOK. I FINALLY LOCATED A SUB PAR VEHICLE, THAT I WOULD TAKE TO CUT MY LOSES.

AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE MANGER, THE SALES GUY COMES BACK AND SAYS THEY WOULD GIVE ME A $3000 TRADE IN VALUE FOR A CAR I HAD PURCHASED FROM THEM LESS THAN A MONTH BEFORE FOR $6000.

NOW STUCK WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL MAZDA, THAT HAS MAJOR ENGINE PROBLEMS. AT THIS POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING AT ME AND I DON'T HAVE $2000 TO FIX IT. I WAS TRYING TO TAKE MY SAVINGS AND BUY ME A CAR FOR ME AND MY FAMILY, AND ENDED UP GETTING SCREWED BY RUSS DARROW MAZDA. SINCERELY, SAD

CX-7 2.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 91,500 miles

I got this Mazda 2008 CX 7 at Carmax, in December 2014. In January the engine light was on, they fixed a gasket. February twice engine light on again, they fixed. They send it to the dealer Mazda to repair. I hear noise in my car and the fans in the radiator never turn on. I bring my car to them, and mechanic said is was normal. Now in May, the light was on they fixed the egr valve. I am frustrated. I am single mom. I think they doing really bad mechanic job. what I should I do, lemon law doesn't cover this car.
