MAZDA6

  • 40,000 miles
While driving my 2015 Mazda 6 GT, with 40,0000 miles on it, on a main local road, with a max speed limit requirement of 45 mph, I attempted to turn into the right turn lane at a speed of approx 35 mph, while lightly depressing the brake. As I began to turn, the steering just locked up, and the power steering stopped working. A few dashboard lights also came on at the same time.. one said power steering malfunction, the other was a red hazard symbol, and I don't specifically recall the other. I finally shut the car off after a few minutes. When I restarted the car, after several seconds the wheel regained mobility and the dashboard lights went off. I carefully and slowly drove my car home, aprrox 2 miles from where it happened. I haven't driven the car since, due to fear of it happening again. I was almost rear ended twice when it happened.

The car does not steer in a trustworthy manner and is unresponsive at times which negatively impacts the driver's assertion of where the car is on the road and how it will handle. The steering wheel itself behaves loosely and the turning capability of the car is unpredictable. Thus far the cause and a solution to it has not been found. The dealership's service department has had it 5 times in 4 months, including extended periods, and despite valiant attempts to remedy the problem, it continues to elude the technicians.

This car has had many random computer problems starting with transmission locking in low gear until you stop the car and restart. Car shuts off displaying automatic stop break got very hard and steering very hard. My daughter had an accident last week 2/2/17 due to vehicle loss of power hard breaking and steering. Called Mazda with no response.
