Consumer Description
MY 2007 MAZDA 3 LOST POWER STEERING WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE TWO TIMES WITHIN A WEEK MAKING IT DANGEROUSLY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE PROBLEM DID NOT PERSIST UNTIL RECENTLY, (4 MONTHS LATER) AND NOW I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING COMPLETELY. THE POWER STEERING INDICATION LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THERE RECENTLY WAS A RECALL ON 2007 MAZDA3 FOR POWER STEERING ISSUES, BUT MY VIN SEEMS TO BE OUTSIDE THE RANGE OF THE RECALL. MAZDA SHOULD ACCOMMODATE ALL 2007 MAZDA3S WITH POWER STEERING ISSUES BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS MORE WIDE SPREAD THAN PROBABLY EXPECTED AND IS VERY DANGEROUS TO LOSE POWER STEERING WHILE GOING 40+ MPH. SINCE MY VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL RANGE, IT IS COSTING ME $1100 FOR A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP. MY 2007 MAZDA3 AND ALL OTHER 2007 MAZDA3 SHOULD BE INCLUDE IN THE RECALL. IT IS NOT FAIR TO ACCOMMODATE ONLY SOME 2007 MAZDA3 AND NOT OTHERS FOR THE SAME DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP. *TR
