The steering column "clunked" as I was turning right into a parking spot. At slow speeds, the steering column makes a metallic clunk sound if I turn right or left at slow speeds.

Powersteering intermittently cuts out due to powersteering sensor within column.

The steering started shaking around the 10th of February just when it was in park. Now it is shaking uncontrollably even when we are driving it. The steering has also locked up on me to the point I had no steering at all. The entire steering column has to be replaced to the tune of 1,500. 00 or so. It is extremely unsafe to drive however trying to get it fixed at a reputable place has been a little more challenging.

Power steering became very intermittent over the period of three weeks - would work one day sometimes and not the next before quiting completely last week. When it would work it would vibrate and shake as to need two hands on the wheel to drive at all times. Extremely unsafe and very difficult to make a proper right hand turn. I took it to the machanic today and was informed that it is the steering column torque sensor and the vehicle has a history of this very same problem on the Tributes. Mazda needs to recall this part failure as it is very unsafe and dangerous!!!!!.

A couple of months ago my steering wheel began moving on its own trying to get back left - shaking uncontrobally. The pedal began getting very stiff and would not allow me to press on it for gas in order to move. When I cut the car off and cut it back on the issue goes away. Sometimes it takes the car a few times to get going. Meaning I have to cut it off and on several times. The wheel continues to shake although the car is not on. I initially thought it was an electrical problem so I took it to be serviced but everything was ok. Recently (for the last two weeks) the car's steering has gotten worse as if there is no power steering in the car. Which will not allow me to turn the vehicle at all. While it runs I cannot steer making it very dangerous to drive. I took it to the Mazda dealer to get another diagnostic test and was told that the steering column was defected and needed to be replaced. I am in awe that a car so new has this many major mechanical issues. I now have no other option but to get the steering column replaced as I am told this is hte only thing that will fix the steering issue.

With 500 miles on odometer, the owner found a red fluid on garage floor. The dealership replaced the entire steering system from the column all the way to the front tires.
