What owners wrote
Pulling in to parking space with foot on brake. Vehicle would not stop and couldn't turn the steering wheel. Car suddenly accelerated and jump curb and ran into side of building. Brake pedal was hard to press and even tried pumping brake, but vehicle would not stop. Engine speed did not change when pumping brake. Vehicle was only three weeks old and had a major malfuntion with braking and steering.
I was driving my car and felt a strong shimmying in the steering wheel. I took the car to my neighborhood garage where they discovered that both the front and rear brakes were completely shot. As this was extremely unusual given the mileage and the fact that it was a new car, they called a mazda dealer who agreed to fix the rear brakes at no charge but refused to fix the fronts. They claimed that there was a service bulletin for the rears.
