NHTSA Complaint #11478848 — 2009 MAZDA MAZDA6

We purchased this car last year for our teenage daughter. It is making a terrible banging noise in the rear. We took it to a mechanic who stated the entire rear subframe is completely corroded, the bolts are rusted, and all the components need to be replaced. This is thousands of dollars if we can even find the parts. As the car is unsafe to drive, I'm not letting my daughter use it until we can get it resolved. After looking at all the complaints, this is a well known problem that Mazda needs to address. There was a recall for the front subframe, but not the rear. Current mileage on the vehicle is only 70,000. The rear subframes and suspension links are severely rusted and deteriorating rapidly, making this car unsafe to drive unless most (or all) the components are replaced and the metal subframes rust treated. Mazda should be made to recall this vehicle and fix this problem before someone is severely injured or killed in an accident due to their negligence. I would be interested in entering into a class action lawsuit for this vehicle as well if someone pursues it.
