NHTSA Complaint #11119362 — 2009 MAZDA MAZDA6

I PURCHASED A USED 2009 MAZDA 6 ALMOST A YEAR AGO (NOVEMBER 2017). THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE IN FAIRLY GOOD CONDITION. THE SELLER WAS UP FRONT WITH ANY AREAS OF CONCERN AND FIXED THE ISSUES I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT BEFORE THE VEHICLE LEFT THE LOT. I HAD NO ISSUES WITHTHE VEHICLE THERE AFTER. AN AIR BAG PART WAS RECALLED ON THE VEHICLE THAT REQUIRED MAINTENANCE FROM THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP. UPON HAVING THE RECALLED PART CORRECTED THE DEALERSHIP WORKER INFORMED ME THAT I SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FRONT SUB FRAME WHICH IS A COSTLY REPAIR. TWO MONTHS LATER, STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY FOR THIS REPAIR, I NOTICED AND ISSUE WITH THE STEERING. I HAD THE VEHICLE ASSESSED ONLY TO FIND THAT THE RUSTED SUBFRAME IS THE CAUSE OF MY CONCERN. WENT ONLINE AND TO MY GREAT SURPRISE I AM NOT THE ONLY 2009 MAZDA 6 OWNER EXPERIENCING THIS. THIS IS A TRAVESTY.
