My 2007 mazda5 power steering stopped worked abruptly while turning on a major highway. The sudden change in steering nearly caused an accident. I checked the ODB reader for codes but none were present.

It kicked back in a minute later. Again no codes in the scanner. Upon researching how to fix this issue my search revealed that 2007-2009 Mazda 5s have a recall for this exact critical failure. My next step was to call…

There is major leaking from multiple unknown sources, one place the water hides is in the spare tire wheel well and it was not evident at first as to why the car was molding on the inside.

Had the heater core replaced because I was told that could be a reason why there is water in floor , it was replaced and I was informed that there was nothing wrong with the original one.. That was a year ago, and it has only gotten worse . When it…

The sliding doors seem to be frozen and they will not latch properly. One day while my daughters were in the car with me the doors slid open after I drove away and they thought they had closed the doors. The other two days the door did not slide open but the light indicated the door was open but we hadn't used the doors we only unlocked them.
