When driving on city streets on uneven pavement, the car emits popping and squeaks from the suspension. When getting in into a parking lot, the car produces a clunking noise that emanates from the front of the car. Also when winding and unwinding the steering while parking the car or moving slowly, again the vehicle emits clunking noises from the suspension. Today is 10/7/2020, I have purchased the vehicle from my next door neighbor who was the first owner of this car. The vehicle has been maintained regularly at the local Mazda dealership and has no outstanding recalls. I took the car to the Mazda dealership, they informed that there is a tsb since 2016 on this specific issue and will cost $600 to repair.
