Last autumn I took the Mazda 6 to my local garage to have the brakes looked at as they were vibratiig when used at 60+ miles an hour. They diagnosed warped discs and replaced the fronts and pads. Unfortunately after another 3 months this new set was causing the same issue so they replaced them with new under warranty. All well and good but 1000 miles on the same is happening and the effect is getting worse. Does anyone know if the 6 is particularly sensitive to the quality of discs etc. I suspect they are not oem.

Thanks

Further to this, I have contacted the garage and explained my concerns and they are going to look at the hubs this time before simply replacing the brakes again.

I have my suspicions that this may be the root of the issue since the wheel bearings were replaced last year and immediately after this I started having brake problems. Conclusion: I should have taken the car straight back to them as soon as I noticed. rolleyes
