NHTSA Complaint #11133295 — 2009 MAZDA MAZDA6

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO NOT BE ALIGNED. I THEN NOTICED THE STEERING RESPONSE WASN'T THERE LIKE IT USUALLY WAS. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STARTED STEERING AS IF IT WERE A BOAT. A DELAY IN THE STEERING RESPONSE WAS CREATING A DANGEROUS DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT THE PART THAT HOLDS EVERYTHING TOGETHER HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. I COULD NOT TAKE THE CAR BACK WITH ME AS IT WAS TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD. IT'S BEEN 4 WEEKS NOW AND STILL MY CAR SITS AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 90K ON IT AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION OTHER THAN THAT. FOUR WEEKS OF NO CAR AND NO WORD ON ANYTHING ABOUT HOW IT'S GOING TO GET FIXED HAS COST ME MONEY IN RENTALS AND ALSO KEPT ME FROM GETTING TO ALL THE JOBS I NEED TO GET TO. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN SINCE I KEEP CALLING AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT, I'M NOTICING SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THIS ISN'T A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE LIKE BRAKES OR TIRES. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING AND ENGINEERING ISSUE THAT HAS FAILED. ANY INFORMATION ON THIS WOULD BE GREAT!
