| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Brakes fail in the rain! when it is raining the brake surfaces get covered in water and the pads are to small to sufficiently squeeze the water off and out to allow immediate braking. this has resulted in several close calls and should be addressed as a safety hazard. the offered fix is different brake shields, but the correct fix is what mazda is putting on the current miatas...bigger brakes and pads! if you look on the miata sites in the forums you will see that this problem is not isolated and is actually quite prevelant. thank you for checking into a very dangerous design deffect! mr. jardine. *ak |
