SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
FRONT WHEEL BEARING FAILS PREMATURELY. MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING FAILED AT 58K MILES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING IS FAILING AT 68K MILES AND NEEDS REPLACING. MY MECHANIC STATED THAT THESE PARTS SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER, AND THAT CONTINUED DRIVING WITH A BAD BEARING COULD LEAD TO WHEEL LOCKUP AND AN ACCIDENT. MANY OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING OF SIMILAR FAILURE ON INTERNET FORUMS. MAZDA WON'T REPAIR THIS FREE OF CHARGE SINCE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT (ON THE FREEWAY) AT APPROXIMATELY 9:45 PM I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE. I NOTICED THE CAR WASN'T MOVING ANY FASTER THE ONLY THING I HEARD WAS THE ENGINE GUNNING. THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN IN VERY FAST TRAFFIC AND I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY HAZARDS ON WHILE TRYING TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT WHICH WAS STUCK. ITS A MIRACLE THAT I DIDN'T GET HIT TRYING TO GET TNATE TO HAVE IT APOENHIS VEHICLE OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER WHICH I EVENTUALLY DID. I REMOVED A SMALL COVER BESIDE THE GEAR SHIFT INSERTED A SCREWDRIVER IN THE HOLE AND WAS ABLE TO RELEASE THE SHIFT. I PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT A MINUTE. STARTED THE CAR AND SHIFTED IT TO DRIVE BUT THE CAR JERKED BACK AND THE GEAR SHIFT IS STUCK AGAIN. I HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING SITUATION FOR A MALE ADULT AND WOULD HATE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO A SINGLE MOTHER WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME THE GEARS HAVE LOCKED. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE IT HAPPEN IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK WITH THE METHOD I DESCRIBED ABOVE. I FEEL THIS REALLY SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. *JS
