Common problems and easy repairs on a 2011 CX-7

The 2011 Mazda CX-7 Sport is a moderately difficult car to repair, but can be good choice for someone experienced in car maintenance. You will have to completely remove the glove box in order to access the cabin air filter with reliability. This repair would have been much easier if there were a designated panel in the back of the glove box for access to the filter. In order to connect the Bluetooth, you will have to use voice activation. These steps are not overly intuitive and make it much harder to connect your phone. To access the headlight, you will have to reach through the front wheel well lining. This can be tough, as the lining can grow rigid and tight to the vehicle over time.

Some things are easier on the 2011 Mazda CX-7 Sport. The components of the spare tire are easily accessible in the rear of the vehicle. This keeps the tire and jack kit ready to go in case of emergency. Removing the battery is made easier due to an easy to remove battery bracket. This bracket is only secured with a few bolts, making a battery change much simpler. Both the fuse boxes are easily accessible on this vehicle. You only need to remove one cover in order to access either set of fuses, allowing you to troubleshoot electrical problems easily.
