For the last few months, I've had a clicking noise come from the rear brakes of my '18 upon application at low speed, say if you're backing out of a driveway. It's been to the dealership 4 times now to get it resolved. The first repair was to peen the tabs on the rear pads, as they weren't fitting in the brackets properly, and were twisting in the bracket when you apply the brakes. That didn't fix it. Next, they replaced the rear caliper brackets, and replaced the pads. It was quiet for a few days, but now the noise has started again.
It's been nothing but issues surrounding the rear brakes on this car since day 1; they replaced the rotors 6 weeks after I bought the car, as they developed quite a gouge from rust build up, as the car had sat for some time on the lot. I'm very appreciative that it's all been looked after under warranty, (the copy of the invoice I signed showed that the brackets/pads and everything was a $600 job, but Mazda picked up the tab), but am frustrated that the issue is still happening, especially given that the car is only a 2018 with 27,000kms (~16,000 miles for my freedom friends) on it. Short of replacing the calipers (which I doubt would accomplish anything anyways), there are no other parts to replace to figure out what the hell is making the noise.
Has anyone else had issues like this? I'd love to hear from you.
