Consumer Description

I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE MAY BE THE SAME AS INVESTIGATION PE 16-017. THAT MENTIONS ONLY FORD/MERCURY CARS, BUT I THINK THEY SHARE SOME COMPONENTS WITH MAZDA3'S OF THE SAME YEARS. AFTER AN INCIDENT WHERE ABS ENGAGED WHILE BRAKING ON A SLIPPERY CITY STREET, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY "MUSHY" AND NOW THE BRAKES TAKE A WORRYINGLY LARGE AMOUNT OF TRAVEL (ALMOST TO THE FLOOR) TO SLOW THE CAR IN REGULAR DRIVING.
