Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2008 MAZDA 3. I BOUGHT IT IN 2009 AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING. I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON BUT THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON ,SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE LIGHT WENT OFF ,THEN I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM . THEY TOLD ME THAT MAZDA DOES THAT FROM TIME TO TIME TO JUST TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN.I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR. AUGUST 17,2010 WAS THE WORST IT HAPPEN FIVE TIMES WHILE I PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING WAITING ON MY GIRLS TO GET OUT OF SCHOOL. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND SOMETHING TO BE DONE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. *TR
