What owners wrote
The rotors are warped after less then 30k miles. This causes the car to shimmy when braking at any appreciable speed (any speed over 40MPH). Took car to dealer and they claim it is not covered under the warranty as it is "normal wear and tear". Called mazda and they too refused to fix the problem under the warranty.
The contact owns a 2010 Mazda Mazda6. The contact stated that the steering wheel was pulling without warning. There was rust on the frame. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not safe to drive. The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired. Mechanic noted that Mazda’s recall repair only served to keep the car from splitting apart, but it in no way resolved the control arm issue.
