I bought a new Mazda 2004 I sedan.the brakes make a rumbling noise at all times especially after it rains and when I back out of my driveway.when I brake the noise is worse. The dealer service center told me this is normal.after it rains as I wrote it is much worse.the machanic also told me the noise at times is the tires due to their size 16 inch.the car also when I brake at a stop goes right or left at times.the mechanic told me that if I go downhill left they will go left if I go downhill and right and brake in a right lane the tires will vear go right. I feel it is unsafe the car vearing left or right when I come to a stop.

About one month after my purchase of my brand new Mazda3, I checked the tire pressures. All 4 tyres were 50 psi!! 18 psi more than the recommended tire pressure and 6 psi more than maximum allowable pressure. I could not believe that it might be possible, I made sure that the device was measuring accurately and also ask somebody else to check the tire pressure. Yes all four tires were 50 psi. I drove that vehicle for about 3000 miles mostly on highway with those over inflated tires!!! I am lucky to be alive. Either the dealer (cook Mazda in Michigan) or in some other Mazda facility, the tires were overinflated probably because of an uncalibrated tool. I believe my car is not the only Mazda car with overinflated tires in traffic.
