Consumer Description

THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I WOULD TURN IT OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES AND IT WOULD BE FINE, STILL SHAKE BUT I COULD AT LEAST STEER. DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT 65-70 AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. VERY SCARY!! NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE OTHER THAN WORK BECAUSE IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. RECALL!!! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD! UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS GOING TO GO ON UNTIL SOMEBODY IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. RECALLS ARE BASED ON COST TO REPAIR VS COST OF BEING SUED. RIGHT NOW IT COSTS MAZDA MORE TO REPAIR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES THAN IT WOULD TO PAY IF THEY GOT SUED BECAUSE NOBODY HAS DIED. THEY ARE WAITING FOR THAT. SICK SICK SICK! *TR
