Consumer Description

ISSUES WITH BRAKING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. PASSENGER SIDE REAR CALIPER STICKS, MAKING A LOT OF NOISE AND CAUSING THE PADS TO WEAR DOWN WAY TOO QUICKLY. HAD TO CHANGE MY ROTOR AND PAD THREE TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. NOW MY MECHANIC SAYS IT'S THE CALIPER. I CONTACTED MAZDA CORPORATE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IMPACTED BY THE 2017 RECALL AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. IT'S A 5 YEAR OLD CAR, IT SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE ISSUES.
