“I have had my Mazda 6 for 2 years. Two days ago, it got very cold, and when I drove the next day, I heard this squeaky noise from the steering column and from the suspension when turning. Not sure what problem is, but it seemed that once the engine was warm the squeaking was gone. I did check the power steering fluid, and it was low, so power steering fluid was added. Also added brake fluid due to it was also low. I heard problem slightly the day after a little. Hopefully the power steering fluid will solve the problem. If it persists, I will call the dealership. …”
NHTSA complaint #10252048, filed 2008-12, 50,425 miles“Mazda 2007 Mazda 6 with severe corrosion to engine subframe posing a very serious safety concern if breaks while driving. Current Mazda 6 in question had less than 100k miles and was spotted by an oil change technician. I've asked a couple mechanics and was informed the car would be a possible death trap to myself or others if not fixed quickly. All parties are amazed at amount of corrosion, internet searches suggest this is a very common problem and already a recall in place for other year Mazda 6's.”

The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.”
NHTSA complaint #10782942, filed 2015-10, 105,000 miles“2007 MAZDA6 with noise in the front end, many people with same problem reporting online. The noise, a clunking, has been there since the car was new, but at 45k it became worse, where one could hear it constantly upon turning the wheel/braking. Like front end was falling off. Now the dealer says it is the rotating arms in the front and that it is not dangerous to drive it this way with the constant groaning while one turns the wheel. Also, online folks said they had thicker grease put into the steering column (which was extremely loose all the time). …”
