2011 Mazda CX-7 Complaint Log

Low beam headlights are so poor that they barely illuminate the roadway when driving at night. I've replaced them with Sylvania Silverstar Max bulbs as well as tried LED bulbs and neither help. Makes the car almost worthless to drive at night due to the limited visibility. It has slowly gotten worse since my purchase of the vehicle in 2016.

RECALL DATE OF AUGUST 10, 2016.I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS THAT MY CAR IS SUBJECT OF THIS FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS. TO DATE JANUARY 11, 2017 I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTIFICATION FROM MAZDA INFORMING ME THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I BELIEVE THIS TIME PERIOD OF 158 DAYS IS BEYOND A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO HAVE MADE THE NOTICE FOR BRINGING IN THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR. I EXPECT THAT I WILL BE CONTACTED TO SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT REPAIR WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS.

LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT MULTIPLE TIMES EACH YEAR.

LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGH OUT THE YEAR. THE LOW BEAM ON EITHER SIDE BURN OUT AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THE HIGH BEAMS.
