| Steering problems |
Power steering went out suddenly 2 days ago. Had the car towed to the dealer. Dealer claims the power steering pump and switch were after market parts. That is impossible as the car has only been serviced by our local Mazda dealer where I bought the car. They are covering it under the warranty, but can't seem to figure out when the power steering pump and switch were "replaced".
