Report: Rear Brakes Squeaking
Mazda 3 Problem
Model Years Affected: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010
Verified
The rear brakes can squeak because the rear brake pad may be contacting the brake rotor. A burr on the backing plate of the brake pad can prevent the pad from seating in the bracket properly causing the contact with the rotor. The backing plate and the pad support hardware can be deburred in the contact areas. Mazda has also released revised brake pads.
