Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING IN MY 2008 MAZDA 3 FAILED THE DAY BEFORE MY BROTHER WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT FOR HIS ROAD TEST. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING AT MY DEALERSHIP FOR 4 WEEKS NOW, AND THE NEW ESTIMATE TIME FOR THE PARTS REPLACEMENT IS MID-JULY. ACCORDING TO THEM, THEY HAVE OVER 40 CARS IN THEIR PARKING LOT ALONE WAITING FOR THE SAME PART. AND MAZDA USA HAS YET TO RECALL IT. THEY PROVIDED ME WITH ME LOANER CAR, FREE OF CHARGE, BUT I AM ONLY 20 YEARS OLD SO MY MOTHER HAD TO USE IT AND I HAVE TO USE HER VEHICLE. IT HAS CREATED A BIT OF STRESS SEEING AS SHE DRIVES A FORD EXPEDITION AND THE GAS IS TWICE AS MUCH AS MINE. AND I HAVE JUST RECEIVED MY SECOND MONTHLY BILL IN WHICH I DO NOT EVEN HAVE MY CAR. *TR
