POWER STEERING ASSIST IS SUDDENLY LOST REDUCING THE DRIVER�S ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE AS TYPICALLY EXPECTED, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.Remedy:
DUE TO SHORT SUPPLY OF PARTS, THE FIRST PHASE OF MAILING OF OWNER NOTIFICATION LETTERS WILL BEGIN ON OR BEFORE SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 AND THE SECOND PHASE MAILING WILL BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER 2010 AND BE COMPLETED IN FEBRUARY 2011.Oh, that's just great. Tell me about a a steering recall that can cause a crash and then tell me you don't have the parts to fix it and you're putting me on your mailing list. Terrific. Meanwhile, let's all pray, is that what you're telling folks, Mazda? Sort of gives a whole different meaning to zoom, zoom.
If you've got a lemon Mazda, don't take a chance. Get a Burdge attorney. Getting back your money for you (and making them pay us for our time, so you don't have to) is what we do. Since 1978.
