“Three door latch screws on the driver's front door came completely out and were missing when I discovered the problem. The door would not close tightly and wind noise could be heard when driving. There was a recall on Mazda 6 vehicles with exactly this same problem. Also, the screws on the other 3 doors were not tight and I had to tighten them. The problem was discovered while the cx7 was parked in the driveway.”
