I DISCOVERED ONLY ONE OF MY REAR BRAKES WORN BEYOND THE PAD AND INTO THE METAL BEYOND. I AM DEAF - SO UNKNOWN IF STUCK & SQUEALING OR IF A TECH BULLETIN OR RECALL. THE ONE SIDE APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THE APPLIED POSITION FULL TIME. MY MOTHER CALLED MAZDA NO INFO - BRING IT IN !! I WILL TRY.

THE POWER STEERING ON MY CAR JUST STOPPED WORKING AND THEN THE NEXT DAY IT WAS FINE. NOW, IT DOESN'T WORK AGAIN AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT. I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WANTED TO BACK OUT TO GO TO WORK AND THE WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN. I NEED MY CAR FOR WORK!! I SEE OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE - WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? I ALSO HAD AN ISSUE THAT THE GAS TANK GOT A WHOLE IN IT AND AGAIN - NOT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I SEE OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT ISSUE AS WELL. MY CAR HAS ABOUT 32,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT IN 2014, BUT IT WAS A BRAND NEW 2013 MODEL. I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR SOME KIND OF RECALL. LIKE I SAID, I SEE OTHERS WRITING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THANK GOD I WASN'T DRIVING WHEN THE STEERING DECIDED TO QUIT!! CAN YOU HELP ME?

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH. THE RATCHETING SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS THE RECLINE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT FAILED CAUSING THE SEAT TO RECLINE AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT.

WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL PULSE. THE FLASHING HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN FOLLOWING BEHIND ANOTHER CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR WEEKS.

WHEN DECELERATING WITH HEADLIGHTS ON WHILE IN MOTION, HEADLIGHTS FLICKER UNTIL PRESSURE IS RELEASED FROM BRAKE PEDAL. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS CHARGED $26.38 FOR PCM REPROGRAMMING.
