Rumbling noise under the hood; malfunctioning brake system.

I have been having trouble with my car stalling and a problem with the brakes, I pulled up some recall information on this particular car and these problems that I am experiencing have been recalled. When I called the Mazda service, I was told that it didn't affect my car. Clearly it does if I'm having these problems.

The contact states there are three NHTSA recalls, campaigns 00v074000 regarding the service brakes: master cylinder, 00v134000 regarding engine and engine coolant: engine, and 05e065000 regarding the fuel system. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however, it is not included in the recall due to the VIN.

Master cylinder gets stuck on drums of wheel. Contacted dealer, and dealer is not willing to do anything.

I own a 2000 Mazda 626 with only 90,000 miles. I have been stranded several times in this car and spent over $3000 parts and labor. I had to replace the catalytic converter, several sensors, master break cylinder, cv boots, and rack and pinion. Now I am having trouble with the transmission and the ac. The mechanic says I need to rebuild the trans and replace the ac compressor. This is another $3000 or more. I am very disappointed in this situation. I plead with you to take action on this. I have checked several web forums and found similar problems. Please, please make Mazda accountable for building such bad cars. Fyi, I am very, very diligent in general maintenance. Thanks for your time. Chris.
