We received the recall notice in August 2016 and no remedy has been made. This is ridiculous. Ball joints and lower control arms are replaced everyday - what's the dam hold up? I called the hotline twice today and was disconnected after being on hold. I guess I have to get my attorney involved with Mazda and ngtsa.
