Once you get to 70mph it starts shaking like if a the wheels will fall off.
In 2017 had my front control arms replaced after the driver side cv arm came off of the axle due to a recall. 5 years later (about 30k miles) the same exact situation happened now with the passenger side making a left turn. Thankfully both times I didn’t cause an accident but came close due to the wheel coming off of the axle. Brought to dealership, they had to get approval from corporate for the repair. Got a call 6 days later saying corporate denied the goodwill repair due to being “normal wear and tear” and they told me to call corporate. Just called corporate and they say that the dealership makes that decision. I shouldn’t have to pay for something that was recalled, repaired, and happened again 100% in the same fashion. Normal wear and tear on a cv arm is not 20-30k miles.
Knock or hard shift in park as well as in reverse keeps burning oil had everything flushed replaced all fluids valve cover gaskets spark plugs etc.
Lost control brakes failing and steering and wheel lc about to fall off dealerships saying recall was completed but it's definitely not.

My complaint is Mazda rejected my reimbursement claim based on their "policy" of having only a Mazda dealer perform the repairs. I do not accept the rejection. We tried to schedule with Mazda. No chance. They are too booked. My wife is a school teacher. We must have the vehicle. A long story short, attached are (3) items: the recall notice from Mazda, the receipt from my excellent mechanic and the Mazda rejection letter. My goal here is to alert you that Mazda is being unrealistic. My mechanic is award winning (I watched him remove an engine from a Porsche 911. His a master. Also, we have four old cars. Mazda is just stupid. Maybe you can use this as a case study to train new employees. I still want my money. Sincerely kevin m. Reeves 937-726-2134.
We bought our car on a dealer in mesa, it was stationary. After we bought it we noticed locks moving on their own windows rolling down so did the moon roof. When we turn off the engine the a/c turns on even though the car is turned off. The car locks itself leaving us outside. We had problems with the tires they keep loosing up making the car vibrate and making sounds like banging on the tires.
When driving under 20 mph entering into our neighborhood, heard a loud "pop" - then the front left tire suspension 'popped off' the tire, causing the car to lose control and hit the curb with the right tire. It appears that the suspension just "popped off" the joint causing the tire to become 'dislodged' from the vehicle - and sent the car into the curb - see pictures. No police report was taken as it did not involve personal injury nor another vehicle. Upon investigation on the web, it appears that NHTSA has an open investigation into similar problems with 2007/2008 Mazda cx-9s (see action number: pe15022) - which is why I am writing to you now.
Master cylinder leak causing the brake booster to go out as well. Suspension weak and rusty. Mazda refuses to address the problem.
