We noticed that suddenly our 2 year old Mazda 6, with about 18,000 miles was barely braking. It has been serviced regularly and had a brake inspection at the dealership 2,000 miles and 5 months previously. The front brakes did not seem to be engaging at all, and we noted rust build up on the disc that no amount of braking could remove. An inspection at an independent shop revealed less than 10% remaining life on the rear brakes, and they noted that excessive rust had caused the brakes to rust out. The car is operated in kentucky--not exactly the center of the rust belt. I think defective brake materials are likely causing this unexpected and premature brake failure. While we did not experience an accident as a result, another driver may. I am writing in case other owners have had a similar issue with the 2008 Mazda 6.
