NHTSA Complaint #11551882 — 2009 MAZDA MAZDA6

On October 13, almost lost control of my vehicle while driving at normal speeds in good weather. The car tried to pull off the road with every bump I hit. Drove it to tire dealership as I thought there might be problem with tire or suspension. Mechanic there told me the front engine frame ($595 part, approx $1100 labor) was completely rusted & he didn't know how I was able to drive it. I had it towed to my regular mechanic who said the frame has to be replace. Just in November 2022, I had to pay $290 (parts only) and approx $1100 labor for the rear frame to be replaced due to rust. I know this says the recall had been done but if so, the rear frame shouldn't need replacing again. I tried talking with Mazda for 30 minutes & they were no help. The web is filled with complaints about the front & rear subframes rusting out. It is extremely dangerous for Mazda to ignore this issue. I am attaching receipt from 2022 for the part & will have the receipt soon for the front engine subframe as soon as the mechanic is finished with the work.
