BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE BRAKE PEDAL HISSING AND STARTED TO STIFFEN I WAS DRIVING THEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES WERE HISSING AND WAS REALLY HARD TO PUSH ON TO A COMPLETE STOP

SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT, MY BRAKE PEDAL CAME UP AND THE CAR DIED. RESTARTED IT, AND IT RAN FINE. HAPPENED AGAIN AT A STOPLIGHT. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP WHO SAID IT WAS A "MAZDA" ISSUE . WITHIN A WEEK, MY BRAKES STARTED TO NOT WORK. I TOOK IT TO MAZDA & THEY TOLD ME I WAS PAST THE 90,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY. I ASKED THEM WHY THEY WOULDN'T HONOR FIXING IT WHEN IT WAS A MAZDA ISSUE AND THEY JUST SAID I WAS PAST THE WARRANTY. BEWARE OF BUYING A "CERTIFIED USED CAR"! WARRANTIES/RECALLS WILL NOT BE SENT TO YOU!

MY CARS BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY BECAME STIFF AND WOULD NOT STOP MY CAR. I HAD TO SWERVE TO PREVENT MYSELF FROM REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT I WAS EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS AND AFTER I FINALLY STOPPED, AS I WAITED FOR THE GREEN LIGHT THE CAR BEGAN IDLING ODDLY THEN IT STALLED. WAS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP. IT SEEMS TO BE SHIFTING A LITTLE ODDLY TOO. VERY SCARY DRIVING MY CAR. INCREDIBLY LUCKY WE WEREN'T INJURED NOR WAS ANYONE ELSE. WILL HAVE IT TOWED TO THE SHOP TO BE SAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 MAZDA CX-9. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 40 MPH, THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ATTEMPTED MAKE A LEFT TURN, BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE ONTO A DIRT ROAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI MAZDA DEALER (14821 PANDELLI ROAD VICTORVILLE, CA 92392 PHONE 760-241-3801) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE WAS NOT WARRANTED FOR 90,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

HAD A PROBLEM A FEW YEARS AGO RELATED TO THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AS INDICATED BY THE WARNING LIGHT APPEARING ON THE DASH. DEALER CONTACTED THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT TO FILE A CLAIM AND SAID THAT IS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY FELT IT WAS DUE TO DIRT AND NOT A FAULTY SENSOR. THE DEALER NEVER CONFIRMED ONE OR THE OTHER. SECOND ISSUE IS RELATED TO A HISSING NOISE COMING FROM THE BREAK PEDDLE. RESEARCH SUGGESTED MAZDA WAS INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA BACK IN 2014 AND INSTEAD OF A RECALL, MAZDA ISSUED AND EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS OR 90K MILES. UNFORTUNATELY MY VEHICLE IS WITHIN THE 7 YEARS BUT NOT THE 90K. I AM CURRENTLY AT 97K MILES. STILL WAITING TO SEE IF MAZDA WILL COVER THE REPAIR OR AT LEAST DISCOUNT IT.

BREAKBOOSTER WHEN WE ASKED OUR MECHANIC TO CHECK IT AND END UP AFTER CALLING MAZDA FREMONT THAT IT IS COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS. WHILE DRIVIG I THOUGHT I LOSS MY BREAK AND WAS NOT FULLY WORKING. WAS SCARED . MAZDA FREMONT ASSISTED US AND PROVIDED US A TEMPORARY CAR TO USE.

TAKATA RECALL: THIS RECALL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME (IT HAS BEEN ALMOST AN ENTIRE CALENDAR YEAR). I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE MILLIONS AFFECTED, BUT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD RESULT! I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY AND YOUNG CHILD, WHEN WILL THIS BE RESOLVED???

RECALL IN MAY 2016, AS OF TODAY PER MANUFACTURER RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE
