What owners wrote
Disc handbrake failed to release, destroying pads/calipers; vehicle spun as right rear wheel locked, vehicle fire erupted.
On a very snowy day after a 20 minute ride we experienced total brake failure. Dealer towed car. The next day the dealer told me the repairs would cost about $2000.00 dollars. They said both brake lines burst due to severe corrosion. Since this was an extreme expense. We purchased a new car. I feel no braking system should ever experience total brake failure, and feel that mazda should at least replace one of the brake lines to make sure that someone doesnt get killed.
