What owners wrote
While driving the wheel and steering became impossible to control. The car was only stopped by a wall on the highway. My husband was driving and had a heart attack during this incident with the car. The airbag on the drivers side was deployed.
While driving on the freeway at about 70 MPH, my 2007 mazda cx7 randomly lost power. I was able to pull to the side of the freeway even though the steering wheel became very hard to turn. I was very lucky there were not many cars around me. The motor would only rev when I pushed the gas pedal. I had the car towed to a mechanic. The next day I was told that my motor and turbo needed to be replaced. The repairs would total to about $8,000. I already owe $15,000 on the auto loan.
