    2016 CX-5: Brakes didn't engage three times in span of 20 min

    First time in 27 months since owning CX-5, I am worried and had more scary moments in 20 minutes than in entire >2 years of driving this car. It snowed here in NJ, and I decided to do a short drive to pick some grocery. After each of my stops when I restarted the car, the brakes didn't engage on...

    problems with my 2008 Mazda5

    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...

    Chattering while braking on a 2003 Mazda Protege

    My dad's Mazda Protege vibrates when braking. No problems while accelerating and the brakes are fine. Pads and rotors. I am thinking bearings but I would suspect that it would grind or vibrate all the time or when turning but it only happens when your braking. Any ideas on where I should start...

    Soft/Weak braking after brake pad change?

    I changed brake pads on all four corners this weekend. Went for a drive after and it seemed little weak, but I figured it was just the pads burning off a protective coating (which was just a theory, I don't really think pads ship with any coating on them...) and maybe just seating themselves...
