general problems of the 2005 Mazda MAZDA3

The contact owns a 2005 Mazda 3. While driving approximately 35 mph, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000.

The vehicle was coming around a turn at about 30 miles per house, when the vehicle's radio went off and steering locked up into manual and car was difficult to maneuver. When the brake was applied, the car stalled out and engine stopped. The vehicle was able to moved to side of the road and stop. The car was turned off and upon restart had to issues. Upon rest of return trip home, upon the application of the brake, the cars radio, thermometer gauge and general electronics would stop and reset when the brake was released and gas pedal applied.

Since the day I bought my Mazda 3 in 2005 I have had problem after problem with the brakes & the rotors. This car was always at Mazda for something. Then in July, 2006 I was driving about 10 mph when the power went out on the car,I lost all brakes & steering & ran into a median in the middle of the road. I drove the vehicle home that night & once again the car stalled on me. The next day we took the car to Mazda & let them know the problem & after 4 days & driving the car a total of 9 miles they said they could find nothing wrong with the car & the computer showed nothing when they drove it. I just had a damaged rim and needed the car re-aligned. When I went to get the car I was very upset at the cost I had to pay when this was something that was not my fault. The cashier called the manager & I explained everything to him. He had no idea about this & said that if I was his wife he would not put me back into this vehicle & put me in a rental for the weekend. On mon. He called & said he drove it personally & he too could not find anything wrong so he said to come pick up the vehicle. Then on tues,Aug. 22, 2006 while driving to work I turned my windshield wipers on (keep in mind when I took the car in for service I had them change the wiper blades) & the rt windshield wiper flew off my car. I got out & put it back on and it came off again. After work my boss said the wiper was broken & threw it in the back of my car. We then left work. About 3 mins later I was going about 35 mph & all of a sudden the power went out. I had no brakes, no steering, nothing. . . Once again and in front of me was an above ground cement manhole we have on the base & I knew I was going to hit it so I just held on tight. The next thing I remember is people screaming are you ok & when I opened my eyes I was upside down. I flew in the air & landed on the car behind me & came within an inch of going into his windshield but that also saved my life the firefighters said. So now my car is totaled.
