I received a recall notice for ball joints however no parts were available at the time to correct the problem. Waited over a year and the ball joint let go so I was unable to drive my Mazda. I took it to the repair shop and had it fixed. 3 months later I received a notice from Mazda that the parts were in. I called Mazda 3 times asking for a reimbursement as I had to pay out of my own pocket for a recall that they were unable to fix. I have not received any calls back. I would like to be compensated for my out of pocket costs to repair the ball joints.
Severe clunking noise from front driver wheel when driving on most roads. Noise is believed to be related to the failing ball joint. Manufacturer has an open recall 9716h / NHTSA recall number 16v-593. Despite the recall notice being issues on August 10, 2016 (18 months ago), the status is "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available" according to the dealer. The vehicle is not safe to drive and Mazda has no timeframe for a fix.
I received a notice on October, 2016 that there might exist a defect to my Mazda Cx-7 2011 model with the front suspension lower arm ball joint fitting during driving. I have not received a notice to have a repair done. I feel that it may be unsafe to drive y car. Why is Mazda corporation allowed to take so long in addressing this issue?.
Received notification from Mazda that there is a problem with front suspension ball joint fittings that they issed a recall and they should be checked and if necessary replaced.
Front suspension ball joint fitting: upon either receiving or learning of the safety recall notice last year, my wife and I contacted our local Mazda dealer, ferman Mazda of brandon 9809 e adamo drive tampa, FL 33619, last year. She was told that parts were not currently available for our vehicle and that they started repairs in the northeast, before winter arrived, and we would be contacted summer (2018). The summer has come and is on its way out and we still have not been contacted. My wife called our Mazda dealership on Monday 18 September 2018, she was told she needed to bring in the notice, assuming from Mazda, regarding the recall notice. My question do one need the actual notice or can one use the NHTSA recall notice to carry out the recall.
