Consumer Description
I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY 2009 MAZDA 6 (60,000 MILES) TO THE DEALER FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. IT GETS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE A YEAR FOR REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS. ON THE MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION, THEY SAID THAT THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER ENGINE CRADLE HAD SEVERE CORROSION AND RUSTED THROUGH. IF THE REPAIR IS NOT DONE AND THE WHEN, NOT IF, THE PART FAILS THE ENGINE MAY FALL OUT OF THE CAR AND THE FRONT TIRES WILL FAIL TO STEER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY LIABILITY! A CRUCIAL COMPONENT TO SUPPORT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE CAR SHOULD NOT RUST AND FAIL ON A CAR THAT HAS LESS THAN 7,000 MILES DRIVEN PER YEAR.
