My wife was driving on the interstate at 70 mph when all of the sudden the car veered to the right causing her to go into the right lane as she was in the left lane. Thankfully no one was beside her and she was able to keep the car under control. She stopped and called me as I was at work to explain what had happened. She was just a few miles away from the exit in which we live just off the interstate so she was able to limp the car home. Later that evening when I went to look at it I noticed immediately that the passenger tire was pointing outward a little bit. I jacked the car up looking to see if a tie rod or control arm had broke only to find that neither had broke. I looked at the frame and seen how badly it was rusted and noticed it actually had broken apart and was shifted. This area of the subframe is directly under the a/c unit which drips straight down onto the frame area that is rotted. Which is obviously the reason the the frame rusted and broke and shifted causing the tire to point outward. Called Mazda and they sent a tow truck to retrieve the car. Currently waiting on their inspection and a call from Mazda corp to see if they will be covering the repair. After reading everyone else's issues with this very same problem I'm assuming Mazda will tell me it's our problem. The car is only 8 years old and I've seen other's who's car are even newer and Mazda is telling everyone it's not defective. I strongly disagree with it not being a manufactured defect when clearing the water from the a/c dripping down is causing all these subframes to rust much faster than any other part of the frame. We'll see what they say but I'm not holding my breath. . . . Seems as though we the people need to band together in a class action against Mazda because this clearly is a problem for a lot of consumers. Pray no one ever gets killed do to loss of control when the frames do brk.

Takata recall-we bought a Mazda 6 gran touring car in 2010, VIN# 1yvhz8cb3a5m47179. It currently has only 65,060 miles. On July 2016 we received a notice that Mazda corp. Decided that a passenger air bag inflator defect exists in our car and that there was a safety recall especially for cars in central florida because of consistent high humidity. In August we took the car to jenkins Mazda in ocala where we bought it. They said that they would try to expedite the replacement because it would be dangerous to drive. In September the replacement still had not come so they asked us to store the car with them. Our car was there at the jenkins Mazda car lot for more than 3 months. We did not use the car because we were afraid to drive it. Aaa came to the house and tested the battery and they concluded that because it was not used for several months the battery needed to be replaced. However, we noticed that the navigation screen was giving a message �a program cannot be read. Please consult dealer. � we called jenkins and they said comeback and while replacing the air bag part they would fix the navigation screen. On January 17 2017 the part was replaced, but they couldn't fix the navigation screen. They then said that they would talk to their service rep in jacksonville about it. On February 10 after trading many phone calls with the jenkins service mgr. In ocala, he said that after talking to his service rep in jacksonville the rep felt the screen is our responsibility and they wouldn't repair it but instead put a new one in for $5500. I feel that the whole situation started with Mazda's defective air bag and the car being unused and inactive for almost 4 months sitting on the jenkins Mazda lot in ocala. A new battery had to be installed because the car sat on their lot a long time larry & donnah ross (352) 233 1479 9541 se 124th loop, summerfield, FL 34491.
