Guys, I started a new thread for those who also have melted tail lights problems..I think we should air this concern as a group especially for those whose warranty have expired..Im certain your tail lights melted long before you could notice them..Had I not been told by my brother who rode in another car behind, I wouldn't have noticed such melted tail lights..This surely is a design flaw which mazda should rectify instead of using warranty excuses. If you want to see pics of my melted lights, just send me ur email since im unfamiliar with posting pics thru URL in this forum.. heres my email richardreyan*yahoo.com..thanks

are they going to replace the tail lights?

they said it will undergo an investigation since according to them this is isolated. However, based from the number of cx7 that i see on the road with problems like mine, i dont think it is. I even tried to research on this in the web and found similar complaints from cx7 owners abroad.. Try looking more closely into your tail light you'll notice it will start to bubble due to the heat of the bulb then eventually it will bore a hole..You can identify this with other cx7 cause their tail light will reflect partly white and not totally red when the brake's or dim light's on.. honestly i feel disappointed that a car costing this much have this kind of an issue..I just hope I can collate other complaints from forum members to prove that this is a design flaw and definitely not an isolated case..here are the links of the complaints from abroad..

those were just 2 of the complaints..if u google "cx7 melted tail lights" ul see that as early as the 2007 cx7 model already have this issue..mazda should really think of a recall..

thank you sir! I hope I can get relay this issue to other cx7 owners as well

mine is just starting to melt, no holes yet. maybe because i seldom use my cx7, even less during night time. will definitely log complaint to mazda re this issue. thanks for the information

went to mazda this morning, had it checked and issued warranty claim. will come back next month for the replacement since the parts will come from japan.
