Driving one day, the car veered suddenly into the oncoming traffic lane. Fortunately no cars were there. I took it to my mechanic who told me the front suspension was cracked and the car's frame was rusted so badly the car could not be jacked up.

Top of wheel well on both sides in the back of the vehicle is almost completely rotted out - this is an on going issue and apparently has been happening for a while but it is hard to notice since it is behind the closed door that it is apparent and since I am usually driving, I would not have noticed it. I was having my flex pipe replaced and have been noticing some anging in the rear of the vehicle. At this point, I am assuming it is coming from the body rott which I believe to be a driving hazard at this point. I saw that some vehicles in 2004 and prior were recalled for this issue, but apparently not mine pr madza. Apparently it should have been!

Subframe corroded and a piece of it fell off compromising the axle, wheel bearing, and seized the right rear roter. Upon mazda taking the truck to repair the subframe they noted that the entire undercarriage had corroded right with the subframe beyond repair. So far I have been denied a loaner vehicle even though there is a current recall on subframe for corrosion. I am still waiting to see what the outcome is going to be. I've missed 2 days of work already due to this
