I HAD 3 CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS, MYSELF AND MY OLDEST SON IN OUR CX9. I CRESTED A HILL AND STARTED DOWN THE OTHER SIDE AND I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND THEY WERE HARD AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO STOP. I ALMOST HIT THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. HE WAS THANKFULLY WATCHING HIS MIRROR AND RAN A RED LIGHT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY SO I DIDN'T HIT HIM. AFTER STANDING ON THE BRAKES FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE A LIFE TIME THEY FINALLY ENGAGED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND HISSED WITH A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE. I REMOVED MYSELF FROM THE INTERSECTION AND AT 5 MILES PER HOUR WENT TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD TO CALL MAZDA BECAUSE THE POWER ASSIST BRAKING SYSTEM HAD FAILED. I CALLED MAZDA AND THEY TOLD ME NOT DRIVE IT AS IT WAS UNSAFE. THEY WOULD HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP IS DOLAN MAZDA KIA IN RENO NEVADA. I WAS INFORMED BY STEVE TO LOOK AT IT IN THE SHOP I WAS LOOKING AT $125. AND THAT IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE MY CX9 HAS OVER A 100K MLS. AND THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 90K. THE BRAKES FAILED UNEXPECTEDLY WITH NO WARNING. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE FROM MAZDA NOR THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM. I SEE THAT THE NHTSA HAS CLOSED IT'S INVESTIGATION WITH NO RECALL OR THAT MAZDA CUSTOMERS WERE INFORMED. MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED.
