What owners wrote
I am having issues with my engine light on and my car having problems with a loud noise coming from the engine as well as sometimes shaking while stop in a light for a while.
I have a 2007 mazda cx 7. I bought it new in february of 2007, so the car is only 3 years old. Two major things have happened to my car within the past two months one of which seriously put my safety in jeopardy. I will start with, two months ago, my air conditioner went out completely. The air compressor had to be replaced. Then, about a week ago as I was driving down interstate 75 (going about 70 MPH), the acceleration on my car completely went out.
