2014 MAZDA CX-5 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MAZDA CX-5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V644000 (STRUCTURE: BODY) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MAZDA CX-5. WHILE REVERSING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES MADE NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT WATER ENTERED AND CAUSED THE CALIPERS TO RUST. THE BRAKES WERE DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SEVERAL INCHES HIGHER THAN THE GAS PETAL IN THIS VEHICLE. IT SLOWS DOWN REACTION TIME WHEN REACTING TO AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE. A VEHICLE WENT AROUND ME. I NOTICED THE VEHICLE, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO QUICKLY MOVE MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE MY FOOT GOT HUNG UP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT WITH NO INJURIES. THE ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BRAKES. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I SAT IN THE PARKING LOT TO ANALYZE AND CORRECT MY MUSCLE MEMORY AND PRACTICE MOVING MY FOOT QUICKLY FROM GAS TO PEDAL. I REALIZED IT TOOK MUCH EFFORT, CONCENTRATION AND QUITE A STRETCH TO GET GET MY FOOT TO THE PEDAL QUICKLY. THE PEDALS SHOULD BE EVEN, OR VERY CLOSE TO EVEN. I DON'T KNOW WHY SOMEONE WOULD THINK THIS IS BETTER, BUT IF IT'S A PREFERENCE THERE SHOULD BE AN ADJUSTMENT. EVEN SHOULD BE THE FACTORY DEFAULT. IT'S COMMON SENSE YOU CAN MOVE MORE QUICKLY STRAIT ACROSS THAN UP AND OVER. THE UNADJUSTIBLE FACTORY POSITION IS OK FOR STANDARD TRAFFIC SITUATIONS, BUT WHEN IN AN UNEXPECTED ENERGENCY SITUATION IT SLOWS DOWN YOUR REACTION TIME CONSIDERABLY. MAZDA SAYS IT'S NORMAN AND ALL NEW CARS ARE THIS WAY. I SAID THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT CORRECT OR ANY LESS OF A SAFETY CONCERN. WHY MAKE A CHANGE THAT SLOWS DOWN REACTION TIME? *TR

FRONT AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AND PITTED AT 31,000 MILES. WE HAD THEM REPLACED IN MARCH 2016. IN DECEMBER 2016, (37,000 MLS) WE HAD INTERMITTENT RUMBLING IN THE BRAKES - PARTICULARLY BRAKING AT 50 + MPH. ALL THE NEW ROTORS WARPED AND WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. HAVE OTHER OWNERS REPORTED SIMILAR ISSUES?. ARE THE BRAKES FOR THIS MODEL OF CAR UNDERSPECIFIED? IS THE STEEL OF POOR QUALITY?
