Her "new" Mazda's AC has stopped working and she is not a "windows down" kind of person.

Still under warranty, but there are literally hundreds of complaints from Maxda CX7 and Mazda6 owners who have found themselves without AC between 25K and 35K miles.

Ours is at 23,000. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Just venting ...

My mazdaspeed 6 hadn't had any problems the whole time I owned it. You'd have to ask Marcin if that's changed (RedHardSupra), he purchased it from me. That really does suck. Any idea what failed? Did it just leak or did the compressor or compressor clutch die?

I believe the compressor has taken a dump. Its making a God-aweful noise, like mulitple loose parts.

It appears to be isolated to a few model years, with 07 being the last.

Did I mention the wife is not happy?

Mitch, perhaps you could appease your wife with a pet mouse.

So much for the "imports are built better" theory. On my aunts 07 Toyota Yaris, the radio stopped working, and it's not the fuse.

Ha, I bought 4 brand new VW's (3 2000's and 1 2004) and all of them spent more time in the shop than my 2002 Z28 or my 2007 Chevy pickup. Heck, my Mazda Protege 5 ("her" Mazda...) had the clutch replaced due to chatter on cold days at only 25k miles (under warranty). The Camaro was never in the shop, the truck had a leaking oil seal. Though the truck has a warped rotor that they won't cover now...

Besides Mitch, it's not like it's hot where you live. Tell her to relax, it's not so bad... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Problem solved.

OK, so - the A/C is out in your car.

But, is your wife happy?

too expensive ... cheaper to buy a new AC
Plus, once this one is gone, no replacement necessary.


Correction ... Nissan VERSA ...

She gets the car and is driving home. Low fuel light comes on.

Pulls into a gas station to add a quart of fuel and the fuel door won't open. The lever just flops in the breeze.

She does make it home and calls the service department and decides to go on a rampage, discussing the ancestry and heritage of the loaner car dood along with explaining, in some detail I might add, three different auto-erotic actions they could perform, either independently or as a group.

Once she explains to me what is going on, we walk out to this magnificant piece of engineering art and she points out the lever to open the gas door. I pull on the gas door lever and the gas door pops open.

I smirk, not trying to hide it at all, walk to the front, relatch the hood and ask if there is anything else I can help her with?

She was not happy and I had Swanson's frozen for dinner.

you could always add an extra to supplement...if she's anything like the women in my family she might object to the "engineering" (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
