The contact owns a 2000 Mazda Mpv. Upon purchasing the vehicle, the contact noticed that it was not leveled and was leaning towards the passenger side. The vehicle would also pull towards the right while driving more than 25 mph. Between 60-70 mph, the vehicle would vibrate violently and could be felt when holding the steering wheel. In addition, the passenger side door, cd player, and lighter all failed. The rearview mirror became foggy and needed to be replaced, as well as the lower ball bearings.
