I felt something was weird with the steering one day so I went to Mazda dealer because I noticed corrosion on front driver cross and rear components which have corrosion and baseball size holes. Inspected by local Mazda dealer in early 2022 was told "we see a lot worse than this" so nothing was fixed or replaced by dealer. October 2022 failed pa state inspection for subframe rust safety concerns. 2023 got another mechanic to look and they estimate over $6,000 repair cost (docs. Attached). Serious safety concerns causes vehicle to sit unused which makes it available for inspection anytime. Police or insurance representative were not contacted but can be if needed.

I was stopped at a red light in town and went to make a left hand turn when I heard a loud pop and then a springing noise. I myself looked under the car and just assumed I ran over something and it hit the bottom of the car. I had a friend look under it also and he didn't see anything either. I just found this out yesterday when it failed inspection.
