This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Brakes fail in the rain! when it is raining the brake surfaces get covered in water and the pads are to small to sufficiently squeeze the water off and out to allow immediate braking. This has resulted in several close calls and should be addressed as a safety hazard. The offered fix is different brake shields, but the correct fix is what Mazda is putting on the current miatas...bigger brakes and pads! if you look on the miata sites in the forums you will see that this problem is not isolated and is actually quite prevelant. Thank you for checking into a very dangerous design deffect! Mr. Jardine.
