“One morning the check engine light turn on, the computer code came back as EGR val,I have had this vehicle for over 3yrs this is a pricey part, I have read about this and a lot of people have experience this as soon as they reach the 62k miles this is ridiculous. I hope this has nothing to do with a noise that the engine have ever since o bought it which the said it was normal... As per the tires I had to replace them as soon as I reached the 1 yr, never will I buy a Mazda again....”

NHTSA complaint #11384218, filed 2020-12

“Ball joints , control arms , wheel barrings broke into pieces. Tire was angled in grinding on the brakes and rotor. It was bought at a auction from a previous auction buyer. I bought a new frame for the back due to it being bent. I also replaced the exhaust pipe it was cut into pieces. I was very concerned with the lower control arm parts being warn out. The dangers of the ball joints or the barring falling apart would have left me in a dier tragedy. I did have a mechanic replace the parts. He did damage to them so I had to uninstall parts and assemble them as precise as should be. …”
