2010 Mazda MAZDA6 Suspension Problems

“Front subframe corrosion. We were fortunate in that we noticed the car pulling to the right, slowed down, heard a pop and lost control of steering but we were going slow pulled over and towed to garage. The part has a 3 week delivery time and the price has recently doubled from 600.00 to 1,200.00 in the few daysour mechanic called to get. This seemsto be a serious safety issue but no recall.”

“Mazda incomplete recall 28181; NHTSA recall 18v-631; I had my vehicle inspected as required and was told due to rust/corrosion/perforations the front cross member needs to be replaced. Informed no parts available and Mazda has given no info on when parts may be available; dealers have no info at all on timing for repairs; cannot get thru to Mazda for more info and Mazda does not even list this on their site as a recall; this is a dangerous condition and afraid to drive this car”

“While making a right turn, I hit the brakes to avoid colliding with someone who pulled in front of me and the passenger's side front wheel locked into a position turned to the right. I had it towed to a repair shop, where I was informed that the control arm had separated from the frame due to rust. It seems there was a recall for this issue in 2018 for certain states, and while I do not currently reside in one of the affected states, I used to and my car did for most of its life.”

“I was driving home from work, when I noticed that my steering was not working right. Every time I hit a bump in the road it became hard to control. To stay straight, my steering wheel had to be turn almost completely left. I figured I was just badly out of alignment. I took it to the shop to get my alignment done, and they told me the sub frame was rotted out. The car is only 8 years old and well maintained. He was not able to explain why it was rotted out, but the rest of the underneath looked good.”

“I was on a city street travelling around 35 MPH. While approaching a stop light and applying the brakes the car suddenly started pulling to the right and almost pulled the entire vehicle into a ditch. The vehicle came to a stop at the edge of the grass. I pulled the vehicle over further to avoid traffic and noticed the right tire was now touching the wheel well. After having the vehicle towed the mechanic informed me that there was extensive corrosion underneath the vehicle which had LED to the failure.”
