Recently while driving down a straight road about 35 mph my steering started to fail in order to keep the car going straight the wheel has to be turned to the left and held in place. The indicator lights came on that my brake assist system is off/failing. The car slightly jerks to the right when trying to stay going straight. There was noise coming from under the car when turning and going in reverse. Upon inspection for the body shop the subframe is prematurely rotting and that is why I lost proper steering along why the other issues occurred too. The car is inoperable and the subframe is not holding as it should.

Mazda dealer was performing a couple of recalls. They found that the subframe was severely rusted. Said that it needed replaced before it failed. Said that engine could drop out or problems with steering if the subframe failed. 9 year old car with 100,000 miles and no other rust problems is unsafe to drive because of problem with the subframe. I contacted Mazda but have not heard back from them.
