I bought a Certified Pre-Owned 2017 Mazda CX-5 in fall of 2020. The car currently has fewer than ****** miles on it. I've already had to replace the front brakes and need to replace the back brakes as soon as possible. They were not installed correctly so they drag, even when I am not using the brake pedal. It is unreasonable that a car with so few miles needs to replace all the brakes. I want the dealership to replace my brakes at no cost while providing me with a loaner car during the service time. I have called the dealership multiple times over the last several days and have left numerous messages with the service department. I have been told someone would contact me to resolve the issue, but no one has.Business response

We have carefully reviewed the vehicle history of the 2017 Mazda CX-5 referenced in this complaint. A thorough 150-point inspection of the vehicle took place on Sept. 30, 2020 before it was offered for sale. The vehicle passed all requirements to be offered as a Mazda Certified Pre-Owned (CPO)vehicle.
On Sept. 30, 2020, the vehicle had ****** miles. ***** brakes measured at 7mm, and Rear brakes at 6mm, both within acceptable limits for certification. The customer purchased the vehicle on Oct. 16, 2020.
Brakes are considered a wear and tear item, not covered under warranty. Brake wear depends on many variables including driving styles and habits, as well as mileage. Since it has been approximately twenty months with approximately ****** additional miles, we decline to replace the brakes as customer requests.Customer response

I had the blower motor for the A/C/heat in my car replaced 9/22/2018 at Mastria at the cost of $841.41. On 8/13/2021 I had to return to Mastria for the same problem and was told that the part was not covered by any warranty and Mastria would not help me out with discounting the repair, at all. I was asked if I had recently had my windshield replaced, I had not. While reviewing the new quote and the receipt for the 2018 repair, I noticed that the new quote included the sealing of the ******* from water intrusion and the repair receipt in 2018 made no mention of sealing the *******. I think Mastria did not seal the ******* in 2018, therefore permitting water to intrude and short out the new blower they installed in 2018. I was quoted the new repair to cost $1079.95. I asked about a warranty on the blower and they said there was none and I asked for a discount since I just replaced it there 3 years ago and was told they could not give me a discount. I believe if they had sealed the ******* in 2018, I would not be in this predicament now.Business response

After careful investigation and review of customer's complaint, we find that that there is nothing that can be "sealed" to prevent the issue that customer experienced. We recommend that the area be cleared regularly of leaves and debris, and that the cabin filter be replaced as per manufacturer recommendations. We are unclear what customer is referring to as the "*******." The replacement of blower motor in 2018 was covered under warranty for 12mos/12K miles. We decline customer's request.Customer response

Yes, it is unfortunate that the advisor worded the quote as he did, as it is confusing and misleading. As you can see from the attached repair invoice from 2018, the exact problem repeated itself 3 years later due to a clogged drain, caused by build-up of leaves and debris. This allows water to build up and short out the blower motor. It is similar to clogged gutters on a house. They should be periodically cleaned out so that water and debris do not build up.
This is a very common problem with vehicles, and again, there is nothing that can be "sealed" to prevent the build-up.
