Rear CONTROL ARM broke off the REAR SUBFAME due heavy RUST. I had to replace the entire rear subframe plus both control arms. This incident occurred WHILE I WAS DRIVING! Now I find out that the front end is shot as well and that Mazda is only recalling the front subframe and not the rear and I want to know why. Somebody could have been killed. The repair cost me $700 plus rental fees for a vehicle. I had my vehicle in the shop for 16days. It cost me $1,135. I have the invoices.

The 2011 Mazda 6 has a hard shift from 1st to 2nd gear leading to a hard jerk to all passengers. The car seems to jump at times or feels like some one hit it from the back. I have checked online, and it seems to be a problem with many Mazda 6.

When I back up and stop with my foot on the brake I shift the car to drive and it feels and sound like the rear end is coming out.
