problem #1

Sep 202007

MAZDA3 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 38,000 miles
My 2006 Mazda 3 is experiencing greatly accelerated rear brake pad and rotor wear, both requiring replacement by 38K miles. This is at least 3X faster wear than normal. Front brakes show little wear and look to last up to 100K miles. Could this problem be the result of improper front/rear brake bias or defective parts/materials" could this situation lead to improper/unsafe braking performance under certain conditions"
