1995 MAZDA PROTEGE Service Brakes, Hydraulic Problems

MY 1995 MAZDA PROTEGE HAS THE GAS AND BRAKE PETALS SO CLOSE IN HEIGHT AND LITTLE SEPARATION THAT IT IS VERY EASY TO APPLY THE BRAKE AND STILL BE APPLYING THE GAS. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT YET BUT HAVE HAD SOME VERY NEAR MISSES. *NM

CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKESAND SKIDDED INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER. DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, FRONT AND SIDE IMPACT. AMOUNT OF DAMAGE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME. *AK

WHILE DRIVING COULD STEP ON THE BRAKES PEDAL TO STOP VEHICLE OR TO SLOW DOWN, BUT COULD EXPERIENCE AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, AND NOISE COMING FROM BRAKES, WICH HAD BEEN REPLACED BEFORE. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*AK

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH A RATTLING SOUND FROM THE FRONT END OF THE CAR AROUND THE BRAKES AND THE CV JOINTS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A MAZDA DEALER WHO INFORMED US THE PROBLEM WAS THE LACK OF CALIPER PINS IN THE FRONT BRAKES. WE HAD THE DEALER INSTALL THESE NECESSARY PARTS (ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO) AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. HOWEVER, NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK. - WE WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN BUT ARE VERY CONCERNED THIS COULD BE A STRUCTURAL SAFETY PROBLEM THAT COULD BE SERIOUS. BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR SEEM EQUALLY AFFECTED. *AK
