Tribute FWD I4 Auto Touring 2.3L V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 132,382 miles

Steering wheel started to jerk and vibrate violently. It happens when driving and also when car is idling. Makes weird grinding noise while jerking. Just had the recall fixed on the Electric Power Assist System last year. Now months later I'm feeling vibrations in the steering column and the steering wheel decides to take over on its own and jerk and vibrate. Why is there no recall for this problem? I've seen numerous complaints on this...but Mazda does nothing! Does someone have to die in a car crash first before there is a recall put in place? I don't even want to get in this SUV any more!! It's a death trap. 2008 Mazda Tribute FWD I4 Auto Touring model.
