I had just got my grandson and was traveling down i75 in ga I was going to merge into the next lane from the fast lane, I looked in my rear view mirror and side mirror and then back in front, I had plenty of time and room, as I started to merge it was like I could hardly turn the wheel and like I was breaking instead of spending up to get into the other lane, it happened so fast I had no idea what had taken place because I never should have hit the car, SUV. In front of me, I hit him with my left front headlight, but if my car had been running as it should have I would have been out of the lane and passing him I was stunned, and I didn't know anything about any of the recalls on my car, and I went to the dealer where I brought it, new from time to time and had work done, maintenance and was never told but I sure knew when my transmission was going out and they said I was passed warranty on it so I ordered a new one and had them install it but never told anything about the 2 recalls and when I was in the collision I told my friend who came to get me something was wrong with my car, it didn't want to turn and it slowed down without me touching the brakes. I guess that's what saved our lives but if it had not happened I would never have had the wreck my car was totaled, I was not hurt not bad just bruised by the airbag and my grandson had seatbelt marks on his neck and waist. Of course I took pictures and I will up load them for you

I have a 2007 mazda3 and the following happens without warning: I lose power-steering assist, the headlights go off, the dashboard resets, and either a fan or motor wears down. After a short stutter it all comes back without restarting the vehicle. Once the power steering assist remained off until the vehicle was turned off while fueling.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 mazda 3. While driving 40 MPH, the xenon headlights provided poor visibility. The 12 volt,35 watt lights do not reflect the eyes of animals and, as a result, the contact was unable to see a deer running across two lanes before it struck her vehicle. The vehicle sustained $800 worth of damage. The low beams were illuminated at the time of the crash. The current mileage was 13,000 and failure mileage was 11,000.
