Which Mazda CX-7 years should you avoid?
We cover 3 model years of the Mazda CX-7, too few to say which stand out.
NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
