general problems of the 2012 Mazda CX9

Ball joints replaced due to tear in both rubber covers and driver side ball joint very loose. Was previously repaired in July 2015 under recall number: 15v451000.

After hearing low rumbling sound and smelling burnt oil, car was taken to dealer for check up. They informed me of known issue, front ptu leaking oil due to design flaw that put the ptu so close to the exhaust. I am seeing that other owners of this model are also reporting fires due this same exact problem, apparently unbeknownst to me Mazda has provided extended warranty up to 90k miles but not actually informed the owners of this as a potential catastrophic problem. My personal review has informed me that fire seem to be most common between 110,000 and 130,000 mile ranges.

Driving on rte 3 n in braintree. Car was decelerating while I had my foot on gas. Lost steering and barely made it to brake down lane. This car has 72k miles on it. Needs new engine.
