2007 Mazda MAZDA5 Suspension Problems

“The car has less than 68,000 miles. Diagnosed as all suspension needing to be replaced. The mechanic diagnosing said, I wouldn't let my mom drive that car and that the suspension could blow out at any time while driving. All the arms of the suspension are bad/haywire and need to be replaced. I noticed that other 2007 Mazda 5s have been recalled for the same problem. How I would wish that someone would please check if this 2007mazda5 should also be recalled-even though it was manufactured in a different timeframe than those currently in recall. It's a possibility you know. Please help. …”

This is not acceptable, due to the safety issues of driving on bad tires. I also can't afford $700.00+ a year for new tires. If it is a design flaw , then Mazda should be responsible for fixing this issue. …”
