1 Suspension problem of the 1996 Mazda Miata

Failure Date: 04/04/2020

The VIN is for my 1996 Mazda Miata. My complaint is the m291 going west bound to 350 highway in raytown that veers to the west. The exit, seems to dangerous with concrete blocks seperating lanes. My second inquiry is a possible car wreck that my daughter, [xxx] may have been involved in. She drove a green and black mustang Ford convertible. We live apart and as she is a young adult like most, as a mother, I don't get enough info, sometimes. 2006 found me witnessing her car or one that looked like it overturned on 350 highway going westbound on the cloverleaf to m291/470 highway. An ambulance was there and the passenger, her friend outside of the car. I have seen her since then, so obviously she seems alright and safe, however, I would sure be appreciative if someone could follow up on that if anything seems askew. Her address at the time was [xxx] where she lived with her own father, [xxx]. Her date of birth is 1/29/89. I am [xxx]- of [xxx]. My driver's license # is [xxx]. Thank you. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

2 Suspension problem of the 2007 Mazda Miata

Failure Date: 01/24/2017

Car was in motion on a public road with the steering while slightly turned when the back end gave out and dangerously fishtailed over all lanes of the road. Vehicle's toe control link failed at 50mph caused this. Considering this is a safety critical oem part that was never altered or changed, and the vehicle was well below life expectancy (107,000 at time of incident), this situation was rare and extremely dangerous had the operator not regained control. Attempts to contact Mazda to see if this has ever been reported or recalled were unsuccessful.

4 Suspension problem of the 2000 Mazda Miata

Failure Date: 03/07/2014

Area of the front frame support rails (core support is official name) rusts from the inside out. The construction method is a sandwiched material with some sort of tarpaper in the middle which traps moisture which, in turn, hastens frame rusting. This is a common problem especially in the 1999 - 2005 years and usually not easily identified until the frame is completely rusted through. A google search of the issue returns numerous complaints. Once the frame rusts through it causes a real safety issue for the occupants.
