There is excessive rust on this MAZDA. We drive in NYC, and i believe due to the close proximity to the ocean this Mazda was not properly prepared.

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.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2012 Mazda Cx-70 Phev verdict →
