2006 Mazda five is a tire eater--apparently others have this problem


QUESTION:

Our 2006 Mazda five is a tire eater--apparently others have this problem with inside tire wear--tires last 10,000 miles or less and get dangerous. Is there a fix and is Mazda willing to deal with this problem? Already Tried: Multiple trips to dealer for fixes and tires--none seem to work.


ANSWER:

As of today, There is no recall for this issue. There are only 2 recalls for the 2006 Mazda5.
1) Recall ID # 05V412000 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
2) Recall ID # 06V463000 - LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH

The tire issue is not covered at this point by keep all your recipes for any tires you do buy so that if or when then do have a recall on this issue, you will be able to get your money back. Make sure you are having your tires rotated at there proper interval and have receipts for this as well.

If this car was bought used, you may need to have a 4 wheel alignment done.
