Soft brake pedal. Abs brakes not functioning. Stability control disabled. Braking proportioning not functioning. All related to ABS module issue that mazda is aware of but won?t recall. Severely affects the safe operation of the vehicle as the stopping power and stability are decreased when ABS unit fault occurs. Prohibitively expensive to replace and is not covered by warranty, even on low-mileage cars. Service bulletin has existed for years and needs to be elevated to recall.

Abs and dsc has been disabled due to a faulty ABS module and the dealer does not consider this a safety issue. The repair cost is ridiculously high and this should be recalled per the amount of internet traffic alone regarding this issue. This is not a nice to have feature this is a must have as it could safe a life. I have seen reports when the whole system fails. I was told I could drive without it even thou total break failure could occur.

The transmission module (TCM) is damaged quickly because it melts the silicone that protects it, since the heat emitted by the engine is very direct, which causes the TCM to be damaged and the transmission does not work. This problem is very common in the mazda3-2010 therefore it is a manufacturing defect

Abs light and traction control lights are on. It is on since march.2018 the first time I have notice this problem, I was going to work and ABS light came on and then disapeared and after a few days like that just stayed on. I took it to the mazda dealership in jacksonville fl, and they found three different faulty codes ; one for the ABS control motor c0020 one for the dcs switch c110964-64-60 and one for the ABS control module u0415 92-48. They gave me an estimate of $1100 including labor. I think this is ridiculously high! I have purchased my car in 2016 january for $7900! Why dont they cover the faulty ABS pump or parts if there was a known issue by mazda in this models according to this website : http://www.tirebusiness.com/article/20161220/servicezone/161229997/new-hydraulic-unit-solves-mazda-3-ABS-trrouble-codes

Recently car seems to hic cup on shifting and on braking the back end of car seems to run into the front end. In last 2 wks an at light came on and car almost wouldn't shift in gear. I have a verizon hom and got s message indicating 'solenoid stuck on e'. When I called firestone they stated those mazda 3 have that problem and that I need to take car to mazda. In trying to understand my issue I googled problem that showed there was a electrical recall that may cause engine to stop or problems shifting.
