I bought my car Aug 2005 after 12,200 miles noticed excessive front tyre wear (inside shoulders), rear tyre wear (inside tread stepped), squeeking suspension over speed humps, (low speed). At 14,000 miles a knock at full lock front suspension at low speed. Have taken this up with Mazda UK and the dealership mid August 2006 and this has not been resolved to date. I had my wheel alignment checked independently at a cost of £88 which Mazda have refunded. I'm thinking of writing to What Car magazine and/or Trading Standards because this car has a major defect which has obviously been brought to the attention of several Mazda dealerships and Mazda UK. Has anyone else taken this approach and what has been the outcome.
