I noticed my lights dimming whenever I turn the steering wheel. When I called the dealer, at first they blew me off; then after they discovered I bought the car from them and have been getting regular maintenance (again from them), so now they say "Yeah, it's probably the power steering, but we won't have parts to fix it till November. We'll send you a letter when we get them in." ?????!!!!????? Not good!

Lucky my wife was only going slow as the steering locked and she went into the gutter.
Anyone who has this model Mazda5 need to think seriously of having it checked out as they are dangerous should this steering lock at high speed.Also Mazda need to speed up these repairs as this vehicle are a mobile coffin.
