Consumer Description

I DRIVE A MAZDA 3 2008, 5 DOOR WITH POWER STEERING. THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY WENT OFF AS I WAS TURNING FROM A BUSY STREET LEFT INTO A PARKING LOT. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND PARKED. THE OWNER'S MANUAL SAID TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE WAIT AND RESTART. IF LIGHT STAYED ON CALL DEALER. AFTER 10 MINS THE INDICATOR LIGHT STAYED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I AM TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I WENT ONLINE MAZDA USERS WEBSITES, JDPOWER, ABOUT AUTOMOBILE, ETC. AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A PERSISTENT (BACK TO 2008) TO CURRENT( 5/27/10) PROBLEM. WHEN DOES SUCH A PROBLEM RISE TOT THE LEVEL OF A RECALL? THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION! *TR
