I NOTICED MY VEHICLE WAS STARTING TO DRIVE FUNNY. I KEEP UP ON IT VERY WELL, ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, WASH IT OFTEN, FRESH ALIGNMENTS, NEW TIRES WHEN NEEDED. SO I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS UP AND TOOK IT INTO A GARAGE. I WAS CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD I HAD A HOLE IN MY PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT SUBFRAME. I WAS VERY SURPRISED BY THIS BECAUSE THE CAR IS VERY CLEAN UNDERNEATH FOR THE YEAR AND IN GOOD CONDITION COMPARED TO THE USUAL NEW YORK RUST. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AROUND MY YEAR AND SADLY MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. MY VEHICLE HAS NO RECALLS AND MAZDA DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE BILL SO SADLY I'M STUCK WITH A CAR THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
