THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT NO ONE ANSWERED THE PHONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON CONTROL ARMS I HAVE HAD THE REPAIRS DONE 3 TIMES I BELIEVE THESE ARE CAUSING OTHER DAMAGES TO THE CAR! THAT CANNOT STAY REPAIRED THE SAME THINGS CONTINUE TO BREAK ON THIS OVER AND OVER!! I WANT TO GET RID OF THIS CAR. I OWE WAY MORE THAN IT'S VALUE. HOWEVER I CAN'T TRADE IT IN BECAUSE OF THESE RECALLS AND IT BEING UNFIXABLE

IN 2016 I GOT A RECALL #8515G AND THAT WAS PERFORMED BY MAZDA DEALER ON MARCH 16 2016 (SEE DOC ATTACHED) AFTER THE RECALL WE HAVE STARTING HEARING A HORRIBLE NOISE, AND MOSTLY IN WINTER, SO I HAVE TOOK AGAIN TO MAZDA TO INSPECT TWICE BUT THEY HAVE HEAR THAT NOISE AND HAVE FOUND ANYTHING. THIS PAST WEEKEND THEY WERE MORE DEEPLY ON THIS INSPECTION AND WHAT THEY FOUND IS THE RF LOW CONTROL ARM JOINT (BALL JOINT) HAS PLAY RF OUTER TIE ROD END HAS PLAY TOO (SEE ATTACHED REPORT FROM MAZDA) THE COSTS ESTIMATES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT $587 PLUS TAXES.. WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE NOISE IS PROBABLY COMES FROM THIS ISSUES WHICH WAS SUPPOSED FIXED BY THE RECALL BUT AFTER 20000 MILES THIS ISSUES IS COMING AGAIN.. WHAT THEY SAY THIS IS NOT NORMAL KIND OF THIS REPAIRS COULD BE LONGER THAN 10 YEARS WITH NOT SUCH A ISSUES.. MY CONCERNS ARE THE SAFETY ON MY FAMILY, NOW MY WIFE AND MY GRANDKIDS ARE DRIVING THIS CAR EVERYDAY, AND I'M PUTTING THEM ON A UNSAFETY SITUATION BY THIS RECALL....
