brakes

I just bought my 2016 CX-5 3 months ago, and for the past 1500 miles my brakes have been squeaking at low speeds. Basically, I'm stuck in traffic for most of my commute to work in L.A., and when my foot is on the accelerator at a normal speed and then I stop, it's fine. But when I'm rolling to...

Hi, I have an odd problem. I replaced my rear callipers and rotors and pads recently, and then bled the brakes. Which seemed to work fine. I replaced all the aforementioned only because it was time, there was no other brake issue. After a week of driving the car brake pedal became slow and...

I know this may considered a Brake and Suspension topic, however this is performance in my opinion. 2001 Mazda protege MP3, rear brake calipers. During this winter car worked fine, as soon as the temperature outside reaches 65F+, the rear Passenger side caliper locks up, starting the drive...

Haven't had any luck with dealer service department yet (though they are trying), hoping someone here has some ideas: Purchased new 2016 CX-5 GT AWD w/i-ACTIVESENSE at the end of March, and within a week started receiving the following two error messages on my info panel: "Smart City Brake...

I just upgraded my brakes with the Mazda 6 upgrade. If you want to do that too, you can buy these caliper, trade them in fro rebuilt ones and save a lot of bucks on the core charge. Front and Rear Cailpers, Rotors and Brake lines. $75 plus shipping for all You will get ~ $50 credit on the...

Hello I have an 08 M5 Sport Auto, and for a while now my cruise control has been acting up where it will work for a few minutes after first starting/driving the car but then it will no longer engage. The CRUISE stays on amber, just wont go green. Today after doing a little looking I saw a post...

Dealership told me I need to rear brakes that I'm in the red, I can see they look pretty low gave me a price $330 for new pads and to shave the rotors. 1. Isn't 20k to soon to need rear pads? 2. Is that a good price? What do you guys think, let me know thanks!

so... my wife took her 2008 mazda 3 to the local mechanic to get a new front driver-side tire because it had a bubble in it. presumably from hitting a pothole. during the tire installation the mechanic notices that her brakes are almost completely gone. car has roughly 75k on it. so they replace...

So these vibrations have been getting really annoying, it's at just about any speed, worse at higher speeds and around corners, no noise just vibrations and a distinct rotating sound, I replaced all brake pads and rotors and one caliper, drilled and slotted rotors, ceramic pads, and new oem...

All the brake light in my 2008 CX-9 are out. Every other light: head lights, high beams, turn signals, flashers, reverse, license plate light work. They all work. I checked the bulbs, highly unlikely that all went out at the same, but was desperate. I checked the fuses, both in the glove box...

About to do my first brake job on my Mazda 5 and I can't decided to stick to Mazda brakes or go with a brand like ATE. What has been your experience with non-mazda parts? Where can I get a deal in the Toronto Canada area on parts? Thanks

2012 Mazda5 Sport 6MT. For the first couple of minutes in the mornings, it sounds like there is some grinding noises coming from the front brakes. This goes away after a couple of stops. Pad wear is minimal with plenty of life left, and the rotors are in fine shape. Is this just from the OEM...

Whenever I go visit my dad, I drive Angeles Forest HWY (google it). Fun road. But for the second time in a year, I've 'warped' my rotors. Anyone else have to deal with warped rotors on their 6? Would drilled or slotted rotors be better than regular rotors? Seems like it would only really...

I'm planning on doing my brakes today, but am not confident enough to do this completely on my own. I'm only doing the pads which might sound easy enough, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Does anyone happen to know of/have a video to help me with replacing the pads on my 2011 Mazda 3...

Hello- I have been searching the forum for a few days looking for similar issues, but did not find an exact match. I have a 2003 Protege5 and recently replaced brake pads on all four wheels. On the rear I followed the guidance on using the threaded screw to back up the piston, and then tighten...

Yesterday, after driving freeway and stop-and-go through storm in which 5 inches of snow fell, I was 1/2 mile from home, going about 30 mph when I started to brake for a light and the foot peddle violently shook and didn't want to compress, slowing my car but not stopping it and pushing me to...

Hi....I signed up here just for this section of the forum. I'm told I need rotors and brakes and the stealership wants ridiculous money for basic parts. I am looking for front and back, zinc plated, slotted and drilled rotors and brake pads, preferably new. Can someone help direct me as to...

Hey guys, I need some help with the size of an allen wrench for removing the Brake Caliper + Rotor (2004 Mazda3 SP23)... It's right behind the rotor in a little tube- But there's a cover on it... I've tried every allen wrench I have, and none of them work... Can anyone help me? PLEASE!(dunno)

Hi all!! I'm new here and this may have been covered in the past...if it has my apologies for reposting. But, how do you remove the Phillips head bolts that hold the rotors on? I've used all the goodies to no avail. Is there a special trick? Please help as I'm very limited on time and need to...
