GOT A RECALL ALERT IN THE MAIL IN OCT 2016 BUT STATES THEY WILL REACH OUT WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IT'S ALMOST MARCH 2017 AND THEY ARE STILL SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. THE DESCRIPTION IN THE RECALL REFERENCES SALT IN THE WINTER ULTIMATELY CORRODING THE BALL JOINT. SOUNDS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO ME.

I HAD MY CAR PARKED ON A HILL, IT IS A MANUAL AND I LEFT IT RUNNING & HAD THE GEAR IN A NEUTRAL POSITION WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON. I WAS FEEDING MY NEIGHBORS PIGS WHEN I NOTICED MY CAR STARTING TO ROLL BACKWARDS SO I JUMPED IN THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR WHILE IT WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS TO STOP THE CAR WITH MY FOOT BREAK. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COMPLETELY FAILED THANK GOD I TOLD MY SEVEN YEAR OLD SON TO GET OF THE CAR WHILE I WAS HELPING WITH THE ANIMALS! NOW MAZDA IS TELLING ME I AM OUT OF WARRANTY & I WILL HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE BOTH OF MY REAR CALIPERS AS THEY ARE STUCK & REPLACE THE REAR ROTORS & BRAKE PADS!!! NOT ACCEPTABLE! IVE TAKEN MY CAR TO POWER MAZDA IN SALEM FOR ALL OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE EVER TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKING SYSTEM!!

I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE MAY BE THE SAME AS INVESTIGATION PE 16-017. THAT MENTIONS ONLY FORD/MERCURY CARS, BUT I THINK THEY SHARE SOME COMPONENTS WITH MAZDA3'S OF THE SAME YEARS. AFTER AN INCIDENT WHERE ABS ENGAGED WHILE BRAKING ON A SLIPPERY CITY STREET, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY "MUSHY" AND NOW THE BRAKES TAKE A WORRYINGLY LARGE AMOUNT OF TRAVEL (ALMOST TO THE FLOOR) TO SLOW THE CAR IN REGULAR DRIVING.

I BELIEVE SAFETY AND EMISSIONS RECALL 0516J IS CAUSING MY CAR TO TURN OFF WHILE IN MOTION, IT CAN BE IN NEUTRAL OR IN GEAR. I CALLED MAZDA CORP AND TOLD THEM THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND BELIEVE IT'S CAUSE BY THE RECALL; THEY SAID THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION AT THE MOMENT AND DID NOT SUGGEST ANYTHING BUT WAIT. THIS IS A DAILY DRIVING CAR AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO CALL OUT OF WORK BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD SUGGEST A COURTESY VEHICLE WHILE THIS RECALL IS BEING FIXED.
