NHTSA complaint #10059929, filed 2004-02, 165,000 miles“/stabilizer/ sway bar links on my 1995 Mazda 626 broke while driving on the freeway this week. They caused the stabilizer bar to drop down and drag on to the road which was extremely busy. I had to abrubtly slow down, pull over and stop my car which could have caused an accident since I was driving between 60-65 miles per hour. The dealer in my area charges $61.80 to purchase the links for each side since the production date of the car is before 9/13/95. If the production date was after this date, I would be charged $29.30. …”
