Steering Problems of Mazda MPV

I was going 55 mph, suddenly the steering wheeled pulled to the right. I immediately pulled it back to the left. Once again, the wheel pulled hard to the right. I tried to pull it back to the left but couldn't. It felt like a 500 pound gorilla was sitting next to me tugging the wheel. I got scared and slammed on the brakes. The car went round in circles and spun out into the jersey barrier.

(1) it was raining. I was on the highway traveling at highway speed at as the highway turned slightly. (2) when I turned the wheel there was a delay for the wheels to respond. Consequently, I lost control of the vehicle. After a few seconds the wheel turned, then I turned the wheel in the opposite direction and the same thing happened. This happened about 5 times. As I slowed down to below minimum highway speed, I finally gained control of the vehicle. (3) I am afraid to drive the vehicle & have done nothing so far except to call Mazda, as I could have been killed.

This car has not driven in a safe manner since it was purchased. I have taken it to the dealer three times (which by the way was a total pain). After five months of 'research' into the problem Mazda claims that it's not a safety issue. Also the brakes make a very unsafe noise and don't seem to stop the car very good. The car has been parked for months, as I do not trust driving it anymore. Mazda has not been helpful and has no care for the safety of my family or me.

I bought this car for 6 months, the engine light on twice, didn't fix it first time, the advisor said the gas tank cap is not close tight enought. Couple of days later, the engine light is one again, this time they found control system incorrect flow, small leak, hose off of purge valve at air cleaner housing. Car pulls to left on highway and right on local street. Brought in 4 time, admit alignment on the 3rd time and fix it, but still pull. Brought in again the fourth time, said found no pulling problem. We complaint that the car occasionally jerk when press gas paddle, the jerk feeling simliar to the way the car got hit in behind. They found no code for it. The car beep, they can't find any code for it. There are many problem we found in the car, but they said they can't find the code. One advisor think that the car's pulling because the car is too high. Also, it happen 3 times since I bought the car that after I placed the gear to reverse, then place it back to drive, the car won't go but the engine run. To fix it, then I place the gear back to park and to drive, then the car back to normal run. I'm very regretful to have bought this car. It has so many problem and the dealear doesn't seem to want to fix the problem either. I'm, the consumer have to paid financially, and mentally for this car. It is a disaster.

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. The liftgate failed and the trunk would fall down on top of her. The manufacturer was notified, but there were no recalls for her VIN that pertained to the failures. The contact found several technical service bulletins regarding these failures; however, the manufacturer would not take any responsibility for repairing the vehicle. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 53,000.
