Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2013 Mazda CX-5

Over the lifetime of my vehicle, I have replaced my rear pads and rotors three times (have also replaced front pads and rotors two times during the lifetime of the car). The most two recent occurrences were in November 2017 and April 2019, where both the rear brakes pads and rotors were completely replaced both times. The mileage in between both repairs was only 22,326. I have called with my concerns to the dealership, and they explain that there are so many factors that it is difficult to say what the issue could be. I take care of my vehicle, it is always repaired and serviced on time, has frequent car washes, including the wheel and undercarriage area. I have an approximate half hour commute with only highway miles, because we have an additional car for our local errands. It seems as though this is a problem with a lot of 2013 Mazda Cx-5 owners, not juts myself, as I've discovered from many vehicle complaint boards online who speak of the same exact issue of having to constantly replace prematurely worn brake pads and rotors. I personally feel that there is definitely something more to this recurring issue than what I am actually being told, and feel as though it should be investigated once and for all. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Rear brakes (rotors and brake pads) prematurely worn out at ~35k this looks like a design issues as there is a TSB for it, do to rust formation that makes the brake pads stick. Mazda should have been pro-active. All they needed to do was to remove rusted spots and apply some grease. Now I have a case open with Mazda customer service to see if they will cover it as warranty item.

Driving on a paved road when I heard a very loud squealing noise coming from the rear wheels. Checked the wheels when I got home , and discovered premature wear on rear brake pads and rotors. Pads were worn down, and the rotors were grooved the rear right side was really bad . Looked for a recall notice, and found nothing, so I replaced them. I talked to the service manager at the local Mazda dealership on June 121th, and he informed me that there was a notice sent to the dealers to look for this problem if there was a customer complaint. I asked why the notice was not sent to the vehicle owner's, and he had no answer.

A week ago I started hearing a metal grinding sound on the rear passenger side of my Mazda Cx-5. My car is only a year an a half old. I brought it to my mechanic and he said that the rotor is completely gone and I needed new brake pads because of it. However, he couldn't locate my parts anywhere. It seems that all the local Mazda dealerships didn't have them and all the aftermarket places claimed that Mazda company had bought them all back. My mechanic also said it was odd that it was only one side. I have been researching and found out that there are many other complaints out there for the same problem! so dangerous! the reason my husband bought me this car was because it was safe and I wouldn't have any problems. There is no reason a new car should need new rotors and brake pads! to see more complaints go to this website, repairpal. Com/premature-rear-brake-failure-705. I hope they recall this soon! in the meantime my car has not been fixed because there is a nation wide back order on the part!.

Brake pads were worn through at 18 months. It was never caught on inspection and the mechanic said they would have failed completely soon. There is no reason a car should wear through the brakes in a year and a half. Mazda did not care.

I started hearing a metal grinding sound on the read driver side of my Mazda cx5. I was told the rotors and pad were gone and needed replaced. The parts were not available and I was driving on used pads for about 1 month and they started to make the same grinding sound. I did not feel safe driving this car with the brakes in the condition.

The contact owns a 2013 Mazda cx5. The contact stated that the rear brakes failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who advised that the rear brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was awaiting repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 31,800 the consumer requested to have the complaint cancelled. The rear brakes were checked and they were in good condition. Updated 05. 13. 14.
