THE SUB FRAME ON MY 2009 MAZDA 6 BROKE WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS COMING TO A STOP, WHICH NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AT A VERY LOW SPEED TO A NEARBY SERVICE STATION. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET IT ON A LIFT TO SURVEY THE DAMAGE - IT HAD A SEVERELY RUSTED SUB FRAME THAT BROKE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. HE WAS ON VACATION AND HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED 300 MILES TO OUR LOCAL MAZDA DEALER. THE LOCAL DEALER SAID "THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS", WE ALSO HAVE CONTACTED MAZDA, SEVERAL TIMES THEY HAVE BLATANTLY IGNORED US. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THE BODY OF THE CAR HAS NO RUST !

HORN HAS ACTIVATED RANDOMLY FOR YEARS NOW, THE FIRST INSTANCE OCCURRING ON OR ABOUT JULY, 2013. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES FOR THIS. EACH TIME THEY SAID THE DOOR LATCH WAS FAULTY AND SETTING IT OFF. I HAVE HAD 3 DOOR LATCHES REPLACED WITH THE MOST RECENT BEING DONE ON 5/2015. IN AUGUST 2016, THE HORN STARTED ACTIVATING RANDOMLY AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY FOUND "CODES" ON THE 3 DOOR LATCHES THAT WERE ALREADY REPLACED! CLEARLY THERE IS A DEFECT SOMEWHERE WITH THE DOOR LOCKS OR ITS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THIS POSES A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AS A CHILD CAN OPEN THE DOOR LOCK AND FALL OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING IF THE LOCK IS NOT WORKING.
