Why are the brakes on my Mazda3 dragging?
If the brakes are dragging, it is because you calipers are frozen. Since it happened at the same time as the brake booster replacement, it is possible they fucked something up with the brake booster installation, and now your brakes are continually being commanded on.
Where does the Mazda 3 brake pedal come from?
Since it’s sold by a dealer in Maryland, it came Maryland inspected. While driving it home, I notice the brake pedal was a bit spongy and really low before engaging- kind of like when there is air in the lines.
What to do if you have brake problems?
They are now going to have to fix the issue AND replace your brakes and calipers as they are almost certainly ruined judging by your description. Take the car back immediately and get that fixed!!! The car is still at the dealer as they try to fix the issue. So far, they claim they have replaced the rotors and the MC.
What kind of car is a Mazda 3?
I purchased a 2007 Mazda 3 on July 30th from a new car dealer that took it in as a trade. It’s a nice looking sedan, Galaxy Grey automatic with a 2.0 automatic trans and 114k on the odometer. Since it’s sold by a dealer in Maryland, it came Maryland inspected.
Why are the brakes not working on my Mazda 3?
I didn’t even get to drive off parking lot. The pedal is now really low – it feels like it has air in the lines and the brakes don’t engage until it’s at full pedal travel (this was the original problem). The service manager and tech say it may be normal for a Mazda 3 which is pain BS.
