I have brought my car 6 times to three different dealership already with the guidance from Mazda corporate costumer service but they are denying my CX-5 issues.

This rear subframe issues caused multiple failures of virtually every component of the rear suspension - control arms, rear springs, etc. The repair cost for JUST the subframe was $3813. …”
