2014 Mazda MX-5

My car has less than 65,000 and is just 10 years old but the transmission cross member is shot .I have had cars with nearly 300,000 and this never happened the part is on backorder.

All four sway bar links went bad at once.

WBAUGHT CAR WHEN IT WAS (2) AND HAD ABOUT 22K MILES IMMEDIATELY WINDSHILED FILLED WITH TINY CHIPS PAINT STARTED CHIPPING AT (6) HUGE SECTIONS OF PAINT GONE. AND CLUTCH FADES AT LIGHT ONLY 41K MILES.MAZDA IMPOSSABLE TO DEAL WITH.

I AM NOT SURE WHEN THIS OCCURRED I NOTICED ABOUT (5) DAYS AFTER BRINGING MY CAR HOME TINY CHIPS IN THE PAINT. I DRIVE SAFELY HAVE TAKEN THE SAFE DRIVER COURSE AND IT HAS BEEN BEAUTIFUL WEATHER HERE I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TOUCH UP THE PAINT WITH THE SAME MAZDA PAINT TOUCH UP PEN THAT THE DEALERSHIP DETAILER TRIED TO TOUCH UP THE PAINT WITH LITTLE SUCCESS . IF A PERSON CAN'T DRIVE ON A SUNNY DAY WITH OUT GETTING CHIPPED PAINT AT REASONABLE SPEED AND DISTANCE ( MY LAST CAR DIDN'T DEVELOP PAINT PROBLEMS UNTIL WELL OVER 200,000 MILES.) THEN WHEN CAN YOU DRIVE? BASICALLY THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE. UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS I DRIVE: THE SAME: ROADS ALLEYS AND HIGHWAYS I DID WITH MY LAST CAR AT THE SAME SPEED AND DISTANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MAZDA MIATA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE AND THEN SHIFTING TO DRIVE WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED, AN ABNORMAL CLUNKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO CONFIRMED THE NOISE FROM THE ABS BUT ADVISED THAT THE COMPONENT WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED TO THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800. UPDATED 5/22/14*CN

WHEN TRAVELING ABOUT 20 MPH, APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR BRAKE STOPPED WORKING. AS THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND GOT OFF THE ROAD, IT WAS STOPPED BY SHIFTING TO PARK. THE BRAKE WORKED AGAIN AFTER STOPPING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BRAKE STOPPED WORKING. THE FIRST TIME WAS WITHIN A WEEK AFTER WE RECEIVED THE NEW CAR. WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE CAR COULD NOT BE STOPPED - UNTIL IT WAS SHIFTED TO DRIVE. AT THAT TIME, WE DID NOT KNOW FOR SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER REFUSED TO CHECK FOR AN INTERNAL BRAKE FLUID LEAK OR BRAKE FLUID CONTAMINATION UNDER WARRANTY. AS THERE WERE NO EXTERNAL SYMPTOMS. THE CONSUMER THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MIDAS, WHERE THEY DID A BRAKE FLUSH AND FOUND WHITE PARTICLES/DEBRIS IN THE BRAKE FLUID. UPDATED 07/30/14
