2008 Mazda CX7 GT
I picked up a 2008 CX7 GT not even 2 months ago!! Great Little SUV until Yesterday...
I was exiting an on ramp and gave it gas...and BANG there it was HESITATION that just about gave me whip lash!! It won't stop jerkin ya until you ease off the throttle...THANK GOODNESS we have extended warr. through Mazda...Right now its at the dealership since YESTERDAY, they called me today and said that the first fix didn't work, and they have been in contact with mazda tech support LoL
Then they told me that I might not have it back before the weekend!! The one thing I will say is that the service dept. have been great, I can't complain about that...and yes they gave me a rental car @ no cost

The Gas that I've used Since May 24th 2011 likely filled up 3 times with 87 octane, 2 @ 89 octane and 3 or 4 @ 93/91 octane...that was actually the first question the service dept. asked...

has anyone else had this prob. with an 08 CX7 GT??

Mazda called today...still no fix, what they are telling me is the turbo is suppose to boost 14 psi and mine is 28 psi which is causing the prob. so it sits in shop until mazda tech. can figure out what is causing the increased boost. ZOOM ZOOM on the hoist 4 the weekend...

Just got off the phone AGAIN....Mazda Canada told the dealership to replace turbo charger....and HOPEFULLY that solves the problem...and all goes well, we'll be driving the cx7 next Tuesday!!

Just got the CX7 back today....took it for drive, and it seems to be fixed...hopefully no more probs for awhile....at least i got a new TURBO out of the deal...it is only 3yrs old, with 60,000 kms on it...I was a little surprised... oh well....
