2009 Mazda CX-7 Engine cooling Problems

“In january 2012, I received a letter from Mazda inc that the company was extending the warranty on the timing chain to 70,000 miles. In the letter, it stated that a certified Mazda dealer could inspect the vehicle to determine if the timing chain has a problem.

“We leased a 2009 Mazda CX-7 (garaged and highway driven only). There was never a problem. The battery died. We changed the battery. Car started and then died.

They had a recall on a valve which I never received in the mail. The car only had 17,000 miles on it. After 3 years, Mazda came back and said they would cover under lease or extended warranty, which I had. …”

I have been told by the dealership that they will replace the unit (for $1,800) and warranty it for 3 years or 50,000 miles.
