Brake Problem Now, more users find the problems in the brake system of the M3.......hope Mazda can really pay more attention on this problem and to solve it soon.....or at least, they should give us an official explanation instead of passing information from different dealers in different...

Brake Problem Regarding my brake & rotor problem and how I deal with the dealership, please refer to the topic: "Brake Problem - Why don't Recall?".

Mazda Motor Corp., Japan's fourth- biggest automaker by sales, says it will recall 130,500 sedans in overseas markets, including China, to fix defective fuel tanks. The recall will affect the Mazda 6 sedan, known as the Atenza in Japan. Based in southwestern Japan's Hiroshima prefecture, the...

Don't you think the materials of the brake pads should be changed as it creates excess dust and grooves on the discs? How do you know it is 100% safety now? At the current moment, no one knows whether it would affect our safety or not in a long run, but what I know is, it is vey abnomral, and...

I saw from news that Mazda has to recall part of the Mazda 6 produced in China and Japan. Will Mzd3 be the next?

From what I told by Mazda yesterday. They said the rings or grooves in the rotor were due to the rotor discs were too soft and the brake dust was due to the material of the brake pads. In other words, the dust and the ring problems are due to the mismatching between the rotor and the pad...

I just talked to the head of the technician department and he basically said that the brake dust problem was mainly due to the material of the brake pad given the front and the rear brakes are using different kinds of materials. However, they said this problem cannot be solved as soon as there...

I will take my car to fix today.....and I will know whether the squeeking sound and the cracks on the rotors are due to the worn down of the brake pads or not.....will inform you guys later once I clarify with the technician. If this is due to the worn down of the brake pads, then, I will assume...

I think we really should start a new poll to keep record on those who get problems on the brake rotors in order to show some evidence to Mazda.

My point is we should address this problem to Mazda seriously and to create more pressure for a recall. If not, many consumers would suffer this kind of unfair treatment from Mazda. Please think about the other people instead of yourself. In fact, I have an appointment for fixing the rotors'...

Hi, I have my 3 for just 2 months and I start to hear the squeeze sound from my brake discs at the back. The squeeze sound is definately created from metals and I checked my brake discs and found out there are some cracks on it.........seems like the brake pads were totally gone away. I tried...

Hi, I appreciate if any ones in this forum can provide some shops to me that deal with the aero kits (front and side skirts) for 3....... The aero kits from Mazda HK costs around HK$30,000 or US$3,800....cracy! Thanks.

Waiting for the Mz3 after signing for at least 3 to 6 weeks is the norm in every where around the world. I have waited for 3 weeks for my Tit. Grey. My stock is actually the first lot of production in Japan but delivery to HK in end of Feb. I heard from my source saying that the bottlenecks are...

I have my 3 for almost 1 month and the gas mileage of my car is around 10km/litre (local+freeway). One tank of gas should run for around 480km......For my other 2003 Corolla, it can run around 13km/litre or around 600km. Since 3 has almost 200lbs heavier than Corolla or the peers, its gas...
