Consumer Description

STARTED VEHICLE AT MALL, PUT IN REVERSE AND OUT OF NOWHERE (NO WARNING) WE HAD NO POWER STEERING. DROVE THAT WAY FOR ABOUT 5 MILES, STOPPED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS THE STEERING WHEEL STARTING SHAKING WHEN IDLE OR EVEN IN PARK AND I AGAIN HAVE LOST POWER STEERING SEVERAL TIMES. TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY TOLD US WE WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR OF THE SENSOR MODULAR IN THE ELECTRIC STEERING COLUMN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I CANNOT TURN WHEN THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GOES OUT, IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED MY MAZDA BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT... *TR
