What owners wrote

Brake pedal would not depress. Car hit another vehicle that was stopped and it hit another vehicle. The mazda never even slowed before hitting the stopped vehicle. My wife was driving and she has had this issue before but it was intermittent and we could not get it to act up to bring it to the dealer. The 3rd car involved I do not have a status of. [xxx]

Reported at 56,977 miles, June 2014 CrashInjury

Same braking problem for which mazda issued an extended warranty in april of 2014, where mazda knows they have a defective part impacting the quality of braking, in which under pressure would generate a hissing noise and loss of braking power, extreme difficulty pushing the brake pedal (and complete loss of braking ability). Our incident occurred while traveling on interstate 10 at speeds exceeding 60 MPH and traffic slowing.
