I bought the car with 5000 miles. Just over a year of owning it I had to put new brakes on the car. In April of 2002 it needed a brake job again. For a car that is less than 3 years old it is having to many problems with the brakes. Now the brakes think they are on at all times and the car vibrates. I have went to three mechanics and they can't find what is causing this problem. I feel that they sold me a car that was in an accident or something was really wrong when they sold it to me.

The front brakes on the above mentioned vehicle wear out every 10,000 miles or so. There is currently 47,000 on the vehicle, and I have changed the brakes 7 times!!! I notified Mazda usa, and nothing was ever done. I took it back to the dealership, and was told several times by service manager that this was "normal wear" and that I might want to change my driving habits, which., by the way, are not bad
