My vehicle has had strange grunting, squeaking, popping noises coming from the frontend, particularly the drivers side. It has had this issue since I bought the car in June 2017. The noise seems to be worse when driving over small bumps. It's very noticeable when I back out of my driveway. I have addressed this issue with the dealership I purchased my car from. They can't duplicate. I have researched this exact issue and found there is a tsb for the suspension issue I'm describing. I'm just getting worried about my safety. I'm afraid something will fail and I feel it's the manufacturers responsibility to correct this unsafe issue with the suspension that affecting many other Mazda 6 vehicles.
