Was driving with family on highway when car started to feel wobbly and I began smelling the distinct smell of burning brakes. I pulled over at the closes store (. 5 miles) . I then noticed the rear, passenger caliper was smoking. I later found out (after a few hundred dollars and hours of labor) this is a known issue with the rear calipers siezing. . . Apparently this isn't considered "safety"?!?!. If I wasn't mechanically inclined I may have kept driving. My sort ride was enough to heat up and loosen 2 of my lug nuts. If that isn't a safety hazard then I don't know what is.
The contact owns a 2014 Mazda Cx-5. While reversing the vehicle, the brakes made noise. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that water entered and caused the calipers to rust. The brakes were destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure was not remedied. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
I took my car in for routine oil change, new wiper blades and wheel alignment. I was told by firestone mechanic that I needed back brakes and the calipers are "sticking. " I was told not to drive the car - it is unsafe!! when I called the dealership they informed me not under warranty?! a car -- less than 2 years old with 32,000 miles on it needs new back brakes and calipers??? I think not! taking it to the dealer on Wednesday to check it out in full. Not happy! if able to update on here, I will do so.
