MAZDA CX-7 RECALL 9716H. RCVD RECALL NOTICE IN 10/2016 BUT NO FURTHER NOTICES & TOLD IN NOTICE THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE DANGEROUS RECALL. HAD NO IDEA HOW DISASTROUS THIS PROBLEM COULD BE. DRIVING MY CX-7 ON OLD WILLETS PATH, SMITHTOWN, NY ON 2/3/17 @ APPROX. 6:30PM WITH MY 4 CHILDREN IN THE CAR, TRAVELING LESS THAN 35 MPH WHEN THE RIGHT WHEEL CAME OFF THE AXLE OF THE CAR. THE WHEEL WAS THE RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. THE CAR THEN BEGAN TO TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS A RESULT OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR. CARS HAD TO MOVE OUT OF MY WAY AS IT WAS ALMOST OUT OF CONTROL. I FEARED FOR THE LIFE OF MYSELF AND MY 4 KIDS IN THE CAR. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO LUCKILY GAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR DUE TO MY 30+ YRS EXPERIENCE AS A DRIVER AND FORCE THE CAR ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, SLIDING INTO DIRT. THE CAR SKIDDED APPROX 75 FEET ON PAVEMENT. (PHOTOS ATTACHED) THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WAS DIAGNOSED BY MY MECHANIC AS THE BALL JOINT AND LOWER CONTROL ARM OF THE CAR COMPLETELY SNAPPING/ BREAKING CAUSED BY EROSION/CORROSION, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR. CAR WAS TOWED AS WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE TIRE CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AXLE WHEEL, AND OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR AND ENGINE AS DESCRIBED BY SMITH HAVEN MAZDA, WHERE CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY MATTER AND MYSELF AND 4 CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I AM SO UPSET THAT MAZDA DID NOT IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY THEIR CUSTOMERS TO COMPLETELY STOP USING THESE CARS DUE TO THE DANGEROUS RISK OF DEATH/CRASH. I NO LONGER WANT TO BE AN OWNER OF THIS MAZDA AND WANT TO DITCH THIS CAR FOR FEAR OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY; UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY NOTIFICATION BY MAZDA. HAD MYSELF OR CHILDREN BEEN KILLED OR HURT, I WOULD BE SUING MAZDA. WILL MAZDA CONSIDER OFFERING ME ANY COMPENSATION ON TRADING/SELLING THIS CAR?
