Mazda 2 sport nav - Brake pads - Russ peters
An advice to others , so far our leased ( with maintenance) Mazda 2 sport has had to have brake pads(front) replaced at 7,000 miles and at 14,000 miles.
When I queried with garage who have had to contact leasing company for approval ( agreed both times) that this cant be right or indeed normal , blank faces as though I am wrong to make this statement.
Ps it was us who told garage the issue at 14,000 miles as we new identical to the issue at 7,000 miles ( loud grinding noise when breaking sharply , we were doubted in my opinion. .
First time round it was put down to town driving ( London ).
It is only after reading reviews of car that now realise that poor a/c heating cooling system is also not correct and not just quirkof car ( so booking in for check ASAP.)
We of course have been saved by leasing company paying under maintenance agreement when in fact the reporting issue for these issues is to leasing company first and they themselves should be taking it up with manufacturer.
