brakes

Hi guys, I haven't been here in a while... I guess it's good that there weren't any car issues or questions.. but missed the forum. I am at almost 51K miles, and I am told (by 3 different places) that rear brakes need to be replaced. No noise or squeaking so I am hoping rotors are still good...

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...

Wanted to warn customers of the 2014 Mazda3 hatchback having manufacturing issues right at the plant. They are sending out new cars without being tested properly. I could have been killed a week ago when I lost my brakes and my caliper fell off. I only have 12,000 KM on the car it's brand new...

I am a new member but longtime Mazda owner. Bought my 2010 Mazda 5 GS new and it's now past warranty. I plan to do the basic maintenance work (brakes, oil, filters, belts etc.) myself. My first job is to replace rear pads and rotors as they are visibly rusted out and no longer flat. I have...

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!

Hey guys, just a quick question about the rotary engines. I was thinking about buying an '83 RX7 off someone, but they said it dies whenever it goes under 2,000 RPMS. Apparently the carb was rebuilt, and they don't think it's the vacuum or timing. They suggested that it is a "blown" rotor in the...

The engine on my Mazda5 suddenly revs(races) with my foot on the brake. I have stopped at a light with my foot on the brake. The car stops normally. After about 3-5 seconds the engine suddenly revs and the car lurches forward. Applying the brakes harder does not help. The only way I can prevent...

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...

Seized Brake Calipers -- 2002.5 Proteg5 The disc brakes in the Mazda Proteg5 are single-piston floating-caliper design. That means that there's only one piston and it's operating on the inner pad. The reaction slides the floating portion of the caliper the other direction, and it's this...

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...

I have a fully functional (that includes the e-brake mechanism) set of rear MSP brake calipers with brackets for sale. I bought these for my MP3 in hopes of doing an OEM BBK upgrade along with MZ6 fronts, but have decided to simply rebuild my OEM caliper and keep the brakes stock. This sale is...

Hello, First time posting, hope I'll do good :-) I need to replace the brake light (the longer one on the drive side*), not the one into the tailgate, on my CX-5 2014. I'm in Canada, in the Quebec province, anyone had a contact for that ? And second, I've research in the forum and online...

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...

I am trying to replace the front rotor on my 2002 protege. I took the wheel off, took the caliper assembly off. From my understanding the rotor should come off. Nope. Here's what I tried - banging it off - heating, then banging it off - gear puller. This tore a piece out of the rotor. Tried it...

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...
