Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, MY PASSENGER AND I NOTICED A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WELL. AFTER INSPECTING IT, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE ENTIRE WHEEL WELL WAS RUSTED OUT AND THAT THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WAS DISCONNECTED. HENCE, THE ENTIRE AREA IS BEING CUT OUT AND REBUILT. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM MAZDA, MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF ANY CONSIDERATION OF ASSISTANCE FROM MAZDA BECAUSE OF THE AGE AND MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE.
