10/31/2023 my daughter was in a car accident driving this vehicle identified by the VIN above. The car was totaled. Airbags did not deploy.

Nov 03, 2023

Crash: 1

Injuries: 1

Takata recall. The contact's wife owns a 2007 Mazda Mazda6. The vehicle owner received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V474000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

May 18, 2023

TAKATA RECALL. FOR THE PAST YEAR THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR AT WARMER TEMPERATURES AND GOES AWAY AND COLDER TEMPERATURES. THE CODE THAT COMES BACK IS B2234 AND THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG. I BELIEVE THIS HAS OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT THAT WAS DONE ON MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE TAKATA RECALL.

I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC 07 MAZDA 6 S GRAND TOURING THAT IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION JERKING. THE CAR ONLY HAS 100K MILES ON IT. THE JERK NORMALLY HAPPENS BETWEEN GEARS 4-6.

May 19, 2018

I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THERE IS A CLUNK NOISE FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR AT HIGH SPEEDS ALL THE TIME AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. MY FRIEND HAS AN 2006 MAZDA 6 MANUAL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANY KIND OF RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON SIMILAR VEHICLES

May 06, 2016

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2007 MAZDA 6I VE STARTED SHIFTING HARD AND SLIPPING. THE TRANSMISSION, AFTER CHANGING TRANSMISSION FLUID BY DEALERSHIP, HAS NOW GOTTEN WORSE. 2ND AND 4TH GEAR DO NOT WORK. 2ND GEAR IS SKIPPED AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPED INTO 3RD, AND GOING INTO 4TH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT INTO 5TH, AS 4TH GEAR DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT REV CONSTANTLY, LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. *TR

LOUD CLUNK IN THE DRIVE TRAIN. TOOK IT IN AND FOUND THE TRANSFER CASE HAD LEAKED ENOUGH OIL FOR LARGE PARTS TO BE DISLODGED. LOOKED AND FOUND THERE WAS A TSB ON THE ISSUE BUT WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. MAZDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT DOES NOT CONTACT THE OWNERS OF THE CAR. THE RESULTING REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND, I FEEL THERE IS A CHANCE OF TRANSFER CASE LOCK UP AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN OUR CAR STARTED MAKING A HORRIFIC SOUND, ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING. WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO HAD TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN KIT AND TENSIONER ASSEMBLIES. DOING SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCHES FOR THIS PROBLEM, THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH A LOT OF MAZDA VEHICLES, YET STILL THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL COVERING THIS ISSUE. *TR

Jan 29, 2015

MAZDA6 2007 MARCH: CAR LOSES POWER FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WITH NO WARNING. IT MAY BE A FAULTY EGR VALVE. WHEN FAILURE HAPPENS THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA SPEED 6. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SHIMMIES AND HESITATES BEFORE VEHICLE ACCELERATION. ALSO THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. A TECHNICIAN FROM THE DEALER ADVISED HIM TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY OVER NIGHT TO DELETE THE ERROR CODE. SINCE THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. SINCE THE TECHNICIANS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30565.

May 01, 2013

I HAVE AN 07 MAZDA6 THAT I RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE 2 BATTERY CABLES GOING FROM THE POSITIVE TERMINAL TO THE ALTERNATOR AND THE FUSE BOX LOCATED NEXT TO THE BATTERY (IT'S ONE CABLE BUT IT SPLITS IN TWO IF YOU TRACE IT). SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE I REPLACED IT, I NOTICED QUITE A BIT OF CORROSION ON THE BATTERY TERMINAL. I WOULD CLEAN IT OFF W WATER & BAKING POWDER, BUT IT WOULD COME BACK. THEN MY CAR STARTED HAVING TROUBLE STARTING. I TOOK THE BATT OUT AND CLEANED THE TERMINAL, BUT WHEN I TOOK THE CABLE BRACKET OFF OF THE TERM IT DISINTEGRATED FROM MASSIVE CORROSION. I EVENTUALLY TRACED THE CORROSION SEVERAL INCHES BACK ON THE CABLE WHILE REMOVING THE PROTECTIVE RUBBER HOSING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THEY'D HAVE TO ORDER A NEW WIRING HARNESS AND REPLACE ALL THE CABLES IN THAT BUNDLE (THERE ARE OTHER VARIOUS WIRES THAT ARE ALL "BUNDLED" TOGETHER) AT A COST OF WELL OVER $1000. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SEPARATED THE CABLES FROM THE BUNDLE, REMOVED AND REPLACED W BETTER QUALITY CABLES. ON ONLINE FORUMS I'VE NOTICED OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE MAZDA USED SUBSTANDARD CABLE FOR THE POSITIVE SIDE. ALSO, HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY DUE TO IT CONSTANTLY BEING DRAINED AND NOT RECHARGED SUFFICIENTLY. CORROSION WAS A DISTINCT BLUE/GREENISH COLOR. MAZDA SHOULD ADDRESS THIS AND REPLACE THESE. THEY DON'T EVEN NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS AS THE DEALER STATED! *TR

SEAT BELTS

3 complaints

I'M STUCK IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE NO AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WILL RELEASE THE SWITCH LEVER. LUCKILY THIS WASN'T A TRAFFIC STOP BECAUSE THIS WOULD HAVE MADE THINGS COMPLICATED IF NOT DEADLY, NOT EVEN CONSIDERING THE HIGH POSSIBILITY THAT I WOULD NEED TO EXIT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SHOULD I BE IN A ACCIDENT.

SEAT BELTS DO NOT LOCK PROPERLY AND THEY SOMETIMES STICK, NOT ALLOWING ME TO UNBUCKLE THE BELT.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE ARE KNOWN TO GO OUT BECAUSE OF A 'HARNESS ISSUE' AFTER RESEARCH NUMEROUS OTHER MAZDA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSSUE. THIS IS WHOLE STATIONARY, IN MOTION , CITY, HIGHWAY, DOESN'T MATTER. A QUICK REMEDY IS HITTING THE LIGHT AND IT'LL TURN BACK ON. I RECEIVED A TICKET ON A MILITARY BASE BECAUSE OF THIS. IM

I HAVE HAD MY MAZDA 6 FOR 2 YEARS. TWO DAYS AGO, IT GOT VERY COLD, AND WHEN I DROVE THE NEXT DAY, I HEARD THIS SQUEAKY NOISE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AND FROM THE SUSPENSION WHEN TURNING. NOT SURE WHAT PROBLEM IS, BUT IT SEEMED THAT ONCE THE ENGINE WAS WARM THE SQUEAKING WAS GONE. I DID CHECK THE POWER STEERING FLUID, AND IT WAS LOW, SO POWER STEERING FLUID WAS ADDED. ALSO ADDED BRAKE FLUID DUE TO IT WAS ALSO LOW. I HEARD PROBLEM SLIGHTLY THE DAY AFTER A LITTLE. HOPEFULLY THE POWER STEERING FLUID WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IF IT PERSISTS, I WILL CALL THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE ADVISE IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS OVER 50,000 MILES, AND THIS IS THE FIRST SOUNDS I HAVE HEARD. *TR

SEATS

2 complaints

I HAVE A 2007 MAZDA 6 AND UNFORTUNATELY RECENTLY AFTER I TURNED ON THE SEAT WARMER I SMELLED BURNING LEATHER. I THEN FELT A BURNING SENSATION ON MY THIGH. I QUICKLY MOVED AWAY THEN NOTICED THAT MY SEAT WAS ON FIRE. THE SEAT WARMER BURNT A WHOLE IN THE SEAT. THE THREADS LOOKED LIKE THE BLAZING WICK ON A LIT CANDLE. A RED GLARE WAS SEEN UNDER THE REST OF THE SEAT. I CONTACTED MAZDA AND WAS TOLD THAT ITS THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE, ITS WEAR AND TEAR AND THEREFORE ITS CUSTOMER COST TO REPAIR. THE ASSOCIATE DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO LOOK AT THE DAMAGE. HE SAID THAT HE COULD GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST FOR THE REPAIRS. CUSTOMER PAY. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS BECAUSE IF I HAD NO SENSATION IN MY THIGHS I COULD HAVE ENDED UP WITH A THIRD DEGREE BURN. ALSO, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AS EVIDENCED BY REPORTS ON THE INTERNET INCLUDING MAZDA'S WEBSITE. HTTP://FORUM.MAZDA.CLUB.COM/ELEMENT/ELECTRICAL "(PIC) HELP!! SEAT HEATER BURNS A HOLE THROUGH MY LEATHER SEAT". INJURY: I USED A COLD COMPRESS ON MY THIGH IMMEDIATELY, AND THEREFORE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE ANY VISIBLE MARKS ON MY THIGH.

THE LOW BEAM LIGHT OF MY MAZDA 6 IS EXTREMELY DIM, MOSTLY ON THE RAINY DAY. PEOPLE SITTING NEXT TO ME ALWAYS ASKED ME DID I ACTUALLY TURN ON THE LIGHT? I SAW THE MAZDA FORUM ONLINE, PEOPLE OTHER THAN ME ALWAYS COMPLAINED THE LIGHT TOO. IT REALLY AFFECT THE SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

Apr 09, 2015

WHEN IS THE GOVERNMENT GOING TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO READDRESS PLASTIC HEADLIGHTS THAT CANNOT WITHSTAND NORMAL USE, CLOUD UP, AND CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD. MY MAZDA NO LONGER HAS NORMAL LIGHT OUTPUT DUE TO INFERIOR LENS. THIS IS A VITAL SAFETY PART OF A CAR THAT SHOULD LAST SUBSTANTIALLY LONGER THAN THE 7 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. YES, I HAVE TRIED CHEMICALS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE; NOT AN EXTERIOR TRIM PROBLEM. COST TO REPLACE IS UNREASONABLE. IT IS ALMOST LIKE DRIVING WITH NO LIGHTS AT ALL AT THIS POINT! *TR

AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE MY CAR TO THE TOP OF MY STREET WHICH WAS ONLY 15 FEET FROM MY DRIVEWAY, I HEAR A LOUD CLUNK FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM WAS A SHEERED REAR DIFFERENTIAL FRONT MOUNT BOLT. THE PROBLEM IS MAZDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE A REINFORCEMENT KIT TO FIX IT. THIS IS A PROBLEM SINCE IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE EQUIPMENT AND MAZDA HAS FAILED TO RECALL THIS PRODUCT SINCE NO ONE HAS FILED COMPLAINT OR BEEN IN ACCIDENT (THANKFULLY) DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR *JS

Mar 19, 2012

2007 MAZDA6 WITH "NOISE" IN THE FRONT END, MANY PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM REPORTING ONLINE. THE NOISE, A CLUNKING, HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW, BUT AT 45K IT BECAME WORSE, WHERE ONE COULD HEAR IT CONSTANTLY UPON TURNING THE WHEEL/BRAKING. LIKE FRONT END WAS FALLING OFF. NOW THE DEALER SAYS IT IS THE ROTATING ARMS IN THE FRONT AND THAT IT IS NOT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT THIS WAY WITH THE CONSTANT GROANING WHILE ONE TURNS THE WHEEL. ALSO, ONLINE FOLKS SAID THEY HAD THICKER GREASE PUT INTO THE STEERING COLUMN (WHICH WAS EXTREMELY LOOSE ALL THE TIME). THE DEALER DID PUT THE GREASE IN AND NOW THE STEERING IS A LITTLE STIFFER AND BETTER, BUT THE NOISE IN THE FRONT END CONTINUES. WHAT BEGAN WITH A NEW CAR HAVING A SMALL "CLUNK" WITH THE TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL, HAS BECOME A FULL BLOWN ISSUE. PEOPLE ONLINE ALL HAVE REPEATED MY EXACT COMPLAINT ON THIS CAR. WE ALL WONDER, "IS IT REALLY SAFE" TO DRIVE? WARRANTIES ARE OF COURSE GONE, THOUGH POWER TRAIN WARRANTY STILL IN EFFECT, (CAR NOT YET THREE YEARS OLD, BUT EXCEEDING MILEAGE FOR WARRANTY ) MAZDA WILL NOT HONOR THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH' THE ROTATING ARMS ARE CONNECTED TO IT. AS WITH MOST PEOPLE COMPLAINING ONLINE, MAZDA REPLACED MY BRAKES --I PAID OUT 800 TODAY AND 250 FOR A RENTAL CAR. CERTAINLY, BASED ON ALL OF US CONSUMERS HAVING THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT, SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO REEL IN MAZDA TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT WITH THESE CARS. (SEE ONLINE BLOGS FOR INVESTIGATION). THANK YOU. *TR

2007 MAZDA6. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH CLUTCH *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE CLUTCH PEDAL WOULD VIBRATE WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL.

Auto lots said that it is common and known for electrical problems and engine issues and pieces called camshafts position actuator and transmission range sensor and gears.

MAZDA 2007 MAZDA 6 WITH SEVERE CORROSION TO ENGINE SUBFRAME POSING A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IF BREAKS WHILE DRIVING. CURRENT MAZDA 6 IN QUESTION HAD LESS THAN 100K MILES AND WAS SPOTTED BY AN OIL CHANGE TECHNICIAN. I'VE ASKED A COUPLE MECHANICS AND WAS INFORMED THE CAR WOULD BE A POSSIBLE DEATH TRAP TO MYSELF OR OTHERS IF NOT FIXED QUICKLY. ALL PARTIES ARE AMAZED AT AMOUNT OF CORROSION, INTERNET SEARCHES SUGGEST THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND ALREADY A RECALL IN PLACE FOR OTHER YEAR MAZDA 6'S.

THE CAR HAS VERY SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN DRIVING IT JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN SWITCHING GEARS FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR AND SOME TIMES TO THE 4TH GEAR. THE DASHBOARD SOME TIMES SHOWS THE CAR HAS SWITCHED TO THE 3RD GEAR WHILE THE CAR IS STILL REVVING ABNORMALLY HIGH IN 2ND GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION HAS SOME VERY SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUES. THIS ISSUES TEND TO OCCUR FREQUENTLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. (THE CAR'S ACCELERATION IS VERY WEAK, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE ISSUE OR NOT )

FIRST OF ALL I AM HAPPY THAT THE CAR DONE IT JOB IN PROTECTING MY DAUGHTER DURING A CRASH WITH ROLL OVER OF THREE TIMES. THE REASON I'M HERE IS TO SHARE MY CONCERN WITH THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING DURING THE CRASH. THE CRASH WAS A VERY HEAVY IMPACT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR AND THE DRIVER SIDE ALSO HAD A BIG IMPACT. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I FEEL AT LEAST THE SIDE CURTAINS WOULD HAVE . I HAVE MANY PICTURES OF THE CAR AND IT DONE ITS JOB BY PROTECTING THE DRIVER COMPARTMENT. I WOULD REALLY HOPE THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIR BAGS. ON 5-16-15 I HAD A OIL CHANGE AT MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY REPAIRED THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVER AIR BAG REGULATOR. COULD SOMETHING SET WRONG TO KEEP THE AIR BAGS FROM DEPLOYING? MY DAUGHTER REALLY WANTS ANOTHER MAZDA SINCE SHE WALKED AWAY WITHOUT ANY INJURIES BUT I'M SCARED THE NEXT MAZDA AIR BAGS MIGHT NOT GO OFF WHEN SHE REALLY NEEDS THEM. AGAIN I HOPE THIS IS TO HELP THE NEXT PERSON DAUGHTER AND THEY CAN BE SO LUCKY AS I WAS TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER.

MAZDA6 PURCHASED - CURRENT MILEAGE 84808- DISCOVERED OIL LEAK AT ENGINE REAR MAIN SEAL. SERVICE MGR OFFERED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. OIL LEAK NOT NOTICEABLE-OIL DROPPING ON UNDER ENGINE SHIELD AND COAGULATING. LOW MILEAGE MIGHT INDICATE PROBLEM EXISTED AT TIME OF MANUFACTURE. IF SO, REPLACEMENT OF VEHICLE IS PROPER ACTION ON PART OF MANUFACTURER/SELLER. OIL CHANGES HAVE BEEN DONE FREQUENTLY AND ON TIME, HOWEVER MAZDA IS REFUSING TO HELP WITH COST DUE TO WARRANTY EXPIRATION AND THE FACT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME. THE MAZDA WARRANTY DOES NOT EXPLAIN THAT THE OIL FILTER HAS TO BE MAZDA BRAND IT STATES THAT IT SHOULD BE MAZDA COMPATIBLE. DUE TO THIS INCONSISTENCY MANY MAZDA'S ARE HAVING ENGINE FAILURE SUCH AS MINE. MY VEHICLE IS STILL IN MY DRIVEWAY, AWAITING A NEW ENGINE, THAT I CANNOT AFFORD. PLEASE HELP!! FOR EVERYONE READING THIS THAT IS LOOKING TO BUY A MAZDA DON'T!!! MAZDA IS A HORRIBLE CAR!

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

1 complaint

THERE WERE NO EVENTS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OTHER THAN REGULAR USE AND ON TIME MAINTENANCE. THE FAILURE HAPPENS WHEN EVER WE PUT GAS IN OUR GAS TANK. AFTER FILLING THE TANK (NO MATTER IF ITS FULL OR EMPTY) THE CAR WILL NOT START. WE HAVE TO PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION WHILE PRESSING HARD ON THE GAS, AND THEN TAKE OFF. THE CAR WILL SPUTTER FOR ABOUT A MILE AND THEN WILL RUN NORMALLY. THE ONLY TIME WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE STARTING IT, IS WHEN WE PUT GAS IN IT. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO AN AUTHORIZED MECHANIC WHO FLUSHED OUT THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, AND THAT STILL DID NOT WORK. *TR

STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

1 complaint

I WAS DRIVING ON THE RIGHT LANE (THE SLOW LANE) OF THE FREEWAY, GOING AROUND 60-65 MPH. AROUND 4:45 P.M ON A CLEAR DAY, I NOTICED A WHITE SEDAN NEXT TO ME STARTING TO CHANGE LANES INTO MY LANE. IT DID NOT SEE MY CAR, BECAUSE I HAD TO VEER SLIGHT RIGHT TO AVOID BEING HIT BY THE CAR. MY CAR DID NOT HANDLE THE SUDDEN MOVE WELL AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO SWERVE LEFT AND RIGHT UNCONTROLLABLY FOR 1-2 SECONDS. I COULD NOT REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR EVEN THOUGH BOTH MY HANDS WERE ON THE STEERING WHEEL, TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN THE CAR. THE CAR THEN LOST COMPLETE CONTROL AND SWERVED/SPUN ALL THE WAY LEFT (IMAGINE MAKING A COMPLETE LEFT TURN ON THE FREEWAY), INTO THE 3RD LANE. IT CONTINUED GOING IN A COUNTER-CLOCKWISE DIRECTION UNTIL A WHITE VAN RAN INTO MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY, STOPPING THE CAR IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION. THE AIR BAGS POPPED, SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE CAR. I WAS AMAZINGLY UNHURT FOR THE MOST PART. I TOOK MY HANDS OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND MANAGED TO OPEN THE DRIVER SEAT DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE FINAL POSITION OF THE CAR WAS FACING EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC. SEVERAL FIREFIGHTERS/PARAMEDICS ARRIVED AND PROCEEDED TO CLEAN UP THE DEBRIS SCATTERED AROUND THE ROADS AND PUSHED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THE CAR INSURANCE COMPANY HIRED FORENSIC ENGINEERS TO RECONSTRUCT THE ACCIDENT AND INSPECT THE CAR FOR DAMAGES. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NOTHING CONCLUSIVE TO REPORT (ALTHOUGH THE FRONT ROTORS WERE SUSPECT). *TR
