I was going 55 mph, suddenly the steering wheeled pulled to the right. I immediately pulled it back to the left. Once again, the wheel pulled hard to the right. I tried to pull it back to the left but couldn't. it felt like a 500 pound gorilla was sitting next to me tugging the wheel. I got scared and slammed on the brakes. The car went round in circles and spun out into the jersey barrier.

This car has not driven in a safe manner since it was purchased. I have taken it to the dealer three times (which by the way was a total pain). After five months of 'research' into the problem Mazda claims that it's not a safety issue. Also the brakes make a very unsafe noise and don't seem to stop the car very good. The car has been parked for months, as I do not trust driving it anymore. Mazda has not been helpful and has no care for the safety of my family or me.
