This car is not safe and mazda has known for years. The door sash molding has caused me permanent brain damage. At age 43, I had to retire/disability due to defects mazda knew of and just inform consumer of in 2018? I was making right hand turn, legally. Someone in lane next to me decided to turn and hit side of car. I as not injure on impact. It was the three week had to drive damage car while wait for lady's insurance to pay. The metal piece that in sspa5 status stuck out and hit head on it multiple times. My neurologist was dumfounded and could not figure out where my various horrible symptoms came from. The accident occur march 2017,mazda has known for years, check mazda forum. Had this fix 3 times and is falling apart on passenger side again. As far as electrical, I will be at red light or stopped and car turn off for no reason, the bluetooth which need for directions goes in and out. It is safety concern for me due to confusion symptom of brain damage. I just received in febuary 2018 safety recall 1217f on brake issue. It state mazda concerned about safety, but again knew of issue and hat sent recall. The car has many serious manufacture defect that have caused my life to be ruin, and as I research, bodily harm to other people.

Please get me out of this deadly machine so I am not afraid of car. Thank you. I don't know how to add documents,another symptom of brain damage, memory loss,
