NHTSA Complaint #10744026 — 2005 MAZDA MPV

WHEN LOOKING AT MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED GREASE STREAKS DRIPPING FROM A LINE ON MY ALLOY WHEEL. AFTER CLEANING THE GREASE OFF, WE NOTICED A CRACK COMPLETELY THROUGH THE SPOKES ON MY RIM. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT BUT I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOT A PATTERN OF DEFECTS. I WAS TOLD ON BOTH OCCASIONS, AT MAZDA DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS, MY VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MAZDA USA TOLD ME NO PATTERN OF INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AND ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE ON THEIR END ALTHOUGH THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENTS SAY OTHERWISE.
