What owners wrote
My 2010 mazda 6 which has less than 10,000 miles on it has been reported by the service center that all 4 rotors are out of round and need to be replaced. However, the brakes and brake pads are fine. The warranty will not cover the replacement of the rotors. Another issue is when I turn the steering wheel to the right the horn will randomly start beeping. The service center stated it did not happen for them.
The brake rotors on this vehicle need machining each year due to grabbing. My mazda dealership has machined them after the first year and replaced them under warranty at 30k. The replacement rotors are to be machined again on 4/26/14. This is a safety issue due to potential loss of control during braking.
