Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We bought our new 2003 mazda 6 in july 2003. few months later my wife noted a loud scraping/grinding noise from the front end when making sharp slow left or right turns with brakes applied. the noise also occurred when pulling into a parking space. this happened 3-4 times weekly. finally , we brought the car into the dealership at least 3 times for the problem, but the noise could not be reproduced consistently. a engine belt was replaced in 12/03, but the problem persisted. during the last visit in 2/14/04 to the dealer, we were told that the brakes could be at fault and mazda is looking for a solution. *jb
