“The issue is the steering colomn. There is a bolt that comes loose when driving on irregular roads . my safety was at risk because if this bolt decided to come out i would not have control of the vehicle. I was told that the steering wheel would disconnect from the steering colomn or the steering wheel would completly detatch. The problem was confirmed and inspected by the Mazda dealership. No warning messages appeared on the dash, only notable symptom was an intense clunking sound coming from behind the steering wheel.”
