2 Steering problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2018

I have a 2014 Mazda6 itouring and when I park the car and try to shut it down my battery won't turn off. The car runs on accessory mode and will not turn off. If I put the car back in gear then it move a little and then shift to park with a "heavy" thud most times it will shut down. But how long can this go on before the shifter breaks.

3 Steering problem

Failure Date: 01/02/2017

My 2014 Mazda 6 has 68000 miles. Within the last few weeks while driving going 55 around corners, has had a "power steering malfunction" light pop up and the steering totally locks up for a few seconds causing me to nearly hit multiple cars. I believe my issue has to do with something electrical that I had checked on my car at 34000 miles right before the warranty was up. My car has a radar that performs for radar cruise control and Smart city braking, I got many messages saying that the radar isn't working and that it needs inspections. I brought it in at 34000 miles and they reset something so the car wouldnt show the message and told me it was fixed, I then started doing this after the warranty ended and I figured it wasn't a safety issue so I didn't fight it. Now I believe that the same issue that causes this light to come on is what is causing the steering to lock up because as the steering locks up the radar inspection light also turns on. So now that they didn't fix it when I brought it in in the first place, I am having safety issues and they won't do anything about it even though I tried to get it fixed earlier on. Now they are going to charge me $170 just to diagnose the problem, then the price it cost for labor and parts to fix it when I go in, this is ridiculous because I tried to fix it under warranty and they did nothing. Now I'm a hazard to me and many others on the road because my steering is locking up on a 3 year old car with only 68000 miles. That should not happen.
