Hi all,
my first post here and looking to see if anybody has had the problem I am having with my car. I have read a few pages of threads this morning, but none of the reported issues seem to be quite like mine, so....
I took the car to the dealership abou a month and a half ago for the regular maintenance visit (I think it was 50k or so...24 months)... no issues whatsoever.. just the maintenance.
Picked it up and all good.... the next morning my husband drove it and complained about a slight noise coming from the front (more like from the tires)... not sure how to call it, but it sounded lilke tac-tac-tac-tac.... more noticeable when braking.... although not something that you hear but more like something you "feel", if you know what I mean.
I took the car back to the dealership, the guy drove it around the block and agreed there was a very minimal noise. They will review. An hour or so after, they came back with ..."rotor is slightly more used on one area than the others (uh??), but there is nothing to worry about... usual wear... you can change rotors and pads now if you want or wait until the next service since the pads are in good condition ... but if it get worse, bring it back and we'll replace them sooner..."
I wasn't at all impressed with the answer, specially since the noise started after I brought it in for maintenance... even less impressed by the fact that they were suggesting the rotors already needed to be changed on a car that is less than 2 years old!!.. because "it's normal"??..... what kind of quality is that?? so I said I'd pay attention to the noise to see if it'd go in the next couple of days, and let them know.
It has gotten worse and not only when braking... is there all the time now... so I guess their theory of the rotors is out the window....
Have to take the car back for maintenance the next month but I'll bring it in sooner (maybe this weekend) to see what they have to say now.... not happy
Has anybody had a similar issue? do you know what it might be?
I have always been a Mazda fan and was actually thinking on changing my second car to also be a mazda, but now I have my doubts... this is aonly a 2-yr-old car.. shouldn't be having any issues whatsoever!!
