brakes

I have seen a few "brake upgrade" threads for the CX-5, but none of them were focused on fade, which is the primary concern in my case. When we load up the 5 for extended camping trips, stock brakes are not able to handle long or repeating down-hills. Fade is pronounced and the steering wheel...

My 2018 Mazda 3 5 door is having some rear brake problems and I was wondering if anyone else here had a similar issue. Since almost new (about 11 months ago), the rear brakes did not show even wear on the rotors. Not even a smaller stripe of worn rotor in the middle, just a bunch of lines -...

I picked myself up a 2000 Protege to turn into a daily. The rear brake lines are rusted through and leak. The fuel lines look crappy but arent leaking yet. I found a couple old threads of people having the same problem but does anyone have part numbers or links for replacement hard lines? I also...

so new car, and I'm having a problem difficult to diagnose. first i drive the car home to find the driver rear brake smoking, take the caliper off and notice the calipers, rotors, pads are brand new but installed without the hardware. cleaned/ lubed everything reassembled and made it 40 miles no...

I have a 2014 Mazda CX5 GT and I was told that I need all my brakes done, front worse then back. Also told that my shocks are leaking and they need to be replaced. I have 60,772 miles currently. Second thing is I see some people say rotors and some say disc. What type of brakes are on my car...

Is it normal to need 4 new rotors and pads on a CX-5 every 25,000 miles? Someone over on Reddit pointed me here. I read the thread about the EPB issues. I've called the dealer and they didn't think it applied and that it's just what happens if you drive in Chicago. My Mazda CX-5 has about...

Hi folks, Has anyone received good resolution to TSB 04-001-18-3418? This is regarding the rear brakes on a 2016 CX-5. I was able confirm that my VIN is affected. Here is the abstract to this issue: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2016/MAZDA/CX-5/SUV/AWD#manufacturerCommunications Some...

I just got back from the 22,500 mile maintenance on my 2016.5 CX-5 GT. They reported front brakes at 50% and rear brakes at 60%. This refers to the wear on the pads, right? They told me when they drop to 40% or below, I should have them replaced. It seems a little "soon" to be at 50-60%...

I have a 2008 Mazda3 Sport, and am currently in the process of bleeding the brakes according to this guide posted by flatlander937. I've followed the guide to a tee, with the sole exception of bleeding the rear-left/front-right circuit first, and then beginning with the rear-right as I bleed...

Hi, These are stock Front Brakes in great shape. Worked perfect. I just upgraded to the Mazda Speed 12.6 rotors and want to sell these. Make an offer plus what ever shipping and they are yours. Thanks, Paul

2016 CX-9 having problems buying Aftermarket brakes. "rear set"!!! I have 2016 CX-9 33k miles, I got this car new for my bday my first car under my name :-) and I love it and everyone that sees it loves it! I live in NYC and drive a lot to say the least. I have always put aftermarket brakes on...

Hi all, I own a 2007 Mazda 3 GT and recently I notice that when I hit the brakes my steering wheel starts to shake. Could this be because my rotors are warped? If they are warped should I have them machined or buy new rotors? Any info will be greatly appreciated. :(

Hopefully someone knows or know how to find the torque specs for the cx-5 (2016) caliper and bracket front and rear. The dealer gave me 23-28 ft lbs for caliper and 68-81 ft lbs for the bracket. Just wanted someone to confirm this as I'm not sure if this is correct and for both front and rear...

Hi all, please forgive me if this has been answered in previous discussions. I have only recently bought a 2014 CX5 (right hand drive) and have noticed a metallic clang/rattle in the front passenger side suspension area (I believe). The rattle mainly occurs turning left or right and over uneven...

Hi! I drive a 2008 Mazda 3 and this morning on my way to work I had to make a sudden stop and when I did my brakes made a very loud grinding noise. This noise than continued as I made it the rest of the way to work. I'm planning to bring it in when I get off work, but I just want to make sure...

A friend has a 2006 mazda 5. He was driving and hit a dip in the road. Now the brake pedal is very mushy. The pedal sinks almost like a bad master cylinder. But still stops just over halfway down. He says he now hears a hissing sound when pressing the brakes. I think that is just the vacuum for...

I'm trying to decide which mechanic to trust about this sound I'm hearing in my 2013 Mazda5. One says wheel bearing, one says brakes. Are either of them right!? CLUES: The sound seems to be associated with pressing on the brakes, but it doesn't always happen. I do not feel any shimmy in the...

I've had an annoying braking issue on my 2012 Mazda 5 since Day 1. Sometimes when I release the brakes, I hear a distinct metallic "clunk" sound coming from near the bottom of the pedal. When the car was within warranty I had the dealership inspect it, but they couldn't figure out the root...

Hi everyone, if you have experienced a problem with the Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) system or the cruise control associated with it, please file a complaint with NHTSA. it takes less than 5 minutes. My 2014 mazda 6 applied the brakes while I was on the highway then the "inspection needed"...

Hello, I'm new to the forum and am a new owner a Mazda Protege SE 2000. I bought it for a cheap price and am wanting to modify it further. There are problems with the brakes and when I turn both left or right. Any suggestions on which parts I should get to exchange? Also, after seeing some...
