Consumer Description

I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A KNOCKING COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE I THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD SHOCK AT FIRST SO I PULLED OVER TO CHECK IT OUT AND THE REAR SHOCK BRACKETS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND ARE BREAKING AWAY FROM THE MAIN FRAME. I CONTACTED MAZDA ON APRIL 10 2014 AND THEY SAID THEY HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES AS WELL AS MANY FORD ESCAPES. THEY HAVENT PROVIDED ANY OTHER INFO ON ASSITANCE WITH REPAIRS OR A RECALL. THE CAR IS NO LONGER DRIVEABLE UNTIL IT GOES THROUGH MASSIVE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SHEET METAL AND FRAMING IN THE REAR WHEEL WELL. *TT
