Consumer Description

THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WELL HAS EXCESSIVE CORROSION THROUGH THE FRAME OF MY VEHICLE. THE CORROSION HAS SPLIT MY FRAME IN HALF AND LEFT WHOLES SURROUNDING THE SPLIT. MY SHOCK TOWER IS EXPOSED AND CORRODED MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE IS SPLITTING IN THE SAME EXACT PLACE.THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND OBVIOUS DEFECT. THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE WAS JUST RECALLED AND REPAIRED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MAZDA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE ALREADY. EXCESSIVE CORROSION HAS ALSO OCCURRED ON THE FORD ESCAPE MADE FROM THE SAME LINE. MAZDA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND CORRECT THIS BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY OCCURS. *TR
