Tl* the contact owns a 2011 mazda 6. The contact stated the main wire harness on the driver's side burned out and the vehicle shook when being driven.

The approximate failure mileage was 58,000.
Was driving on interstate at 70MPH and applied breaks, heard a bang from area of passenger front side and lost control of the steering of the vehicle causing it swerve into the adjacent lane on my right. I narrowly avoided being hitting and being hit by other vehicles and was able get the car to the shoulder event without having proper control steering as the car would only steer to the right.
