According to the dealer, the steering sensor and abs module have gone back. The car has only 35,000 miles on it. I spoke to a local mechanic who indicated that the modules are flying off the shelves right now because so many of them are going bad.
Safety recall-electrical system:alternator/generator/regulator while driving on the highway, with my wife and daughter in the backseat I notice my battery light come on. After that every warning light on dashboard came on and the car began to slow down even when pressing my foot on the gas. The car even tried stoping and the steering locked up. We were successfully able to get it towed but I believed this happen because the dealers didn't fix the recall and instaed they bypassed it.
Bought new vehicle at end of January 2014 and problems arises February 2014. Steering of the vehicle is faulty. While driving vehicle cannot easily maintain stable line. To stay straight having to keep the wheel about 5 degrees turned to the left. While making slight right turns, vehicle wheel becomes unstable and jerks left if going on bumps or dips. Very unsafe. Dealer admits the problems but will not replace part because Mazda engineer said its within safety guidelines for Mazda. How is a new vehicle ok to drive when it can't drive straight and takes extra effort and hold the wheel away from the norm to drive?.
