Description of the problem | My power steering light comes off and on randomly. When the light comes on my power steering does not work, which in most cases i am already on the road and this is very unsafe. The power steering comes and goes, sometimes it last for a couple days before it turns off but most of the time it does not work at all. I have already taken it to the dealer and they say its the rack, which i spent over $1000 to replace and it still does not work. I have about 15 friends with this same car and they have all had the same issue. Mazda needs to fix this before a wreck happens when someones power steering goes off while they are driving 70 mph down the interstate. |
