SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

 Since the day i bought my mazda 3 in 2005 i have had problem after problem with the brakes & the rotors. this car was always at mazda for something. then in july, 2006 i was driving about 10 mph when the power went out on the car,i lost all brakes & steering & ran into a median in the middle of the road. i drove the vehicle home that night & once again the car stalled on me. the next day we took the car to mazda & let them know the problem & after 4 days & driving the car a total of 9 miles they said they could find nothing wrong with the car & the computer showed nothing when they drove it. i just had a damaged rim and needed the car re-aligned. when i went to get the car i was very upset at the cost i had to pay when this was something that was not my fault. the cashier called the manager & i explained everything to him. he had no idea about this & said that if i was his wife he would not put me back into this vehicle & put me in a rental for the weekend. on mon. he called & said he drove it personally & he too could not find anything wrong so he said to come pick up the vehicle. then on tues,aug. 22, 2006 while driving to work i turned my windshield wipers on (keep in mind when i took the car in for service i had them change the wiper blades) & the rt windshield wiper flew off my car. i got out & put it back on and it came off again. after work my boss said the wiper was broken & threw it in the back of my car. we then left work. about 3 mins later i was going about 35 mph & all of a sudden the power went out. i had no brakes, no steering, nothing...once again and in front of me was an above ground cement manhole we have on the base & i knew i was going to hit it so i just held on tight.the next thing i remember is people screaming are you ok & when i opened my eyes i was upside down. i flew in the air & landed on the car behind me & came within an inch of going into his windshield but that also saved my life the firefighters said. so now my car is totaled.*nm
