general problems of the 2014 Mazda MAZDA6

I was at a doctor's office and their parking lot has a large slope. I parked facing up the slope and applied the parking brake. When I exited the vehicle, I felt the vehicle slowly sliding backwards. I pushed rearward on the car to check if the brakes were holding which accelerated the roll. I jumped back in the vehicle and depressed the brake pedal to stop the roll. I replaced the rear brake pads and noticed extremely uneven wear. Additionally, the left-rear caliper parking brake actuator was bound-up and wouldn't function. I exercised the actuator to loosen it up a bit which should be just enough until I can order the part. I experienced this same issue with my parking brake in 2017. In 2017, I took the car to the dealer who replace the rear brake calipers under recall 17v393000. I called the dealer today 8/16/2022 and they stated the calipers cannot be replaced under warranty or recall again. I find it extremely disturbing that the parking brake would experience such an extreme failure twice in the 8 years I've owned this vehicle. In 2017, the parking brake released suddenly while the car was unattended sending the car down my 100ft driveway, glancing my house and crashing through a wooden fence before stopping. Luckily, this time (2022), I know of the prior issue and can be proactive about replacing the faulty part. These calipers need a redesign where the calipers can last more than 5 years before such a safety failure. . . Or that the parking brake not functioning while unattended isn't the first indication of failure.

When driving on a street or highway I can still drive with the emergency brake on in the up position, and it doesn't affect my vehicles forward movement what so ever.

Buenos dias en el ano 2017 manejaba en linea recta aproximadamente 40 m/h logre ver un venado y aplique los frenos pausadamente el carro se dezplazo hacia la izquierda sin razon alguna saliendo fuera DE la carretera e impactando con el orillo DE la carretera causando desprendimiento del caucho derecho y mucho dano en la suspension ahora despues DE 3 anos me doi cuenta por medio DE la Mazda que alguna parte del sistema DE frenos en algunos modelos a sido defectuosa esto a podido ocasionar la muerte DE mi familia.

The parking brakes seems to not hold the vehicle when parked on slope.

My car's e-brake is not functioning since I have the car!.

When driving, regardless of weather conditions or outside temperature, it feels as if the brakes are dragging. There is a recall on the brakes/parking brake that was issued in June 2017 but Mazda is unable to make the necessary repairs and it is now October 18! this is an ongoing issue so this form is asking "when did this happen?" but this is not just a one-time event. It feels as if the brakes are dragging every day and has felt that way for months.

While driving on the highway with cruise control on, my car atomatically slammed on the brakes and slowed down rapidly. A short time later, the forward obstruction warning indicator came on and said an inspection was needed. Mazda dealership said "never heard of that" despite similar public comments on user forums. Dealer will not cover full cost of the repair becuase care it out of warranty. I believe this is a serious safety issue that should not fall under normal warranty considerations.

After having the dealer tighten the emergency brake cable the e-brake stopped working again so I tightened the cable again and that didn't work. Evidently there thousands of 2014 Mazda6s' with this poor design. There is a flaw in the design of the rear e-brake mechanism. Shame on you Mazda for letting something as simple as this get past your "engineers".

I recently replaced my front brakes due to normal wear. I took my car to a local madza dealership, and when the job was completed, my brakes began to make odd noises on the drivers side. I took the car back, and they told me that brakes make noises. I told them, that wasn't true. Prior to the new brake job, my original brakes didn't make odd noises. I then took the vehicle to another madza dealership. Again, I was told nothing was wrong. Meanwhile, when o engage the brakes, there's a strange noise that continues on the drivers side. I've read car forums online, and it said the brakes are the wrong size for these model vehicles. Madza needs to fix the problem before someone gets injured. This happens while using the braking system.

The adaptive cruise control (mrcc), Smart city break system (sbs), and distance recognition (drss) safety features failed for the first time during the mentioned date above (Feb 18 2014, at 21000km. I reported to Mazda service center I khobar, ksa though phone calls, emails, and brought car for several times. I waited for months until the issues were resolved on April 7 2014 at 30000km last June 14, 2014, the same failures occurred again while I was driving on a highway at 75mph. I brought the car to service center on the next day and it took a day to fix the issues. Im afraid the same issues will occur again which is put myself to high risk for road accidents.
