NHTSA Complaint #11128223 — 2009 MAZDA MAZDA6

I HAVE RECEIVED MULTIPLE ESTIMATES (PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FILES) THAT INDICATE THE BEGINNING OF A PROBLEM OTHER MAZDA6 2009 OWNERS HAVE HAD--THE SUBFRAME HAS RUSTED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FIRST TIME THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED TO ME WAS AT 65,000; PREVIOUS OWNER MAY HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BUT PROBLEM HAS GROWN MORE SEVERE. NO INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED AS OF YET BUT ESTIMATES RANGE FROM $2,000 TO $4,000 TO REPLACE; MAZDA DEALERSHIP CLAIMS PART WOULD TAKE 1-3 MONTHS TO ORDER. I DATED THE INCIDENT AS OF THE FIRST ESTIMATE I RECEIVED. I HAVE BEEN WARNED THAT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COULD DROP OUT OF PLACE!!! AT ONLY ~60K MILES, THIS CAR HAS A LOT LEFT IN IT!
