“Mazda issued a warranty extension on the A/C compressor because of a known problem. My compressor broke after this extension. It created a safety concern as the clutch broke off of the compressor cause sparks to fly from the loose rubbing metal. Sparks were not caused from electric arc. When the clutch originally seized the engine / compressor began to smoke. I turned off the AC and drove home. Upon driving the car to to the repair shop with the AC off, the clutch separated and began sparking. This clutch could have separated and shot like a projectile. Ac compressor broke while on highway. …”

NHTSA complaint #10427832, filed 2011-09, 56,100 miles“My car is a 2008 Mazda CX-7 and this summer I began to use the AC which never seems to cool off my car. It blow cold air but not very cold and I have to keep it at level 4 and push the other button that makes it blow harder. Which I think is the circulation button. I should not have to keep it on full blast and with the AC button and the one next to it depressed all the time to cool my car off. I don't think it is running correctly.”
