NHTSA Complaint #11132046 — 2009 MAZDA MAZDA6

I BRAKED QUICKLY FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE CAR SKIDDED AND VEERED VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT. WHEN I ACCELERATED FROM THE LIGHT, I HAD TO HOLD ONTO THE WHEEL TIGHTLY TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD. IF I LET GO OF THE WHEEL, THE CAR WOULD IMMEDIATELY SWERVE TO THE RIGHT. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WAS SQUEALING. I GOT IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THAT THE SUBFRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE. I WAS SHOCKED AS THE BODY HAS NO RUST. I HAVE ALWAYS KEEP THE CAR VERY CLEAN AND MAINTAINED. IN FACT, I HAD THE UNDER BODY RUST PROOFED WHEN I PURCHASED IN 2009. I HAD TO REMOVE THE CAR FROM THE ROAD AS IT WAS UNDRIVABLE. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 55, I WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN FATAL ACCIDENT.
