Hello shlavek, you are right on! From the very beginning I have been having trouble with the dealer re: the noisy brakes. When they are cold or it is rainy or icy, they grind and squeak. Curious, what is your mileage around? When I was approaching 20K {do driving for work and some OOT traveling} after the car was purchased new with 100 miles last July, I noticed that now, when the car is cold, there is a VERY loud screeching, almost high pitched foghorn sound EVERY time I back out of my parking space at home in a.m.. I have been convinced lately that it is much more than rust on brakes {what dealer decided and did nothing back in Dec.}. I have been fearing that there is a problem with wheel or axle - to a tee, apparently what you are describing. Perhaps because I drive more than the average person, we will be hearing more about this. 'Wonder what a Mazda zone rep. would have to say....lets keep ourselves posted and fellow zoomers too...!!!!

This all verifies what I heard a German engineer say about the difference between European and American drivers:
Europeans don't care if the brakes squeal- just as long as they stop the car.
Americans don't care if the brakes stop the car- just as long as they don't squeal."

Bizarre.

Hi again,
 
As far as my brakes go they sound horrible. It's not the fact that they are just loud they feel like they are not catching right, especially in rain! It is annoying that they are loud, but they are chirping and creating some other interesting sounds. My rotors look horrible... the surface appears ok but they are very rusty. The dealership turned them and the problem was still present. I just said screw it and bought cross drilled slotted rotors that are powder coated. I also bout high performance QUITE ceramic pads. When I have them installed I will let you know the difference.

Mazda3 noise problems by andrew26

I purchased a used 2005 Madza3 in December and I now have a loud squeaking sound originating from somewhere near the rear wheels when I drive. As I drive faster the sound is faster and when I brake there is a sound of metal crunching metal. As the car slows the scrapping sound also slows until I am stopped and there is no sound at all. I took it to my brake mechanic and he said the brakes were fine. I don't know what this could be. Anyone have this problem before?

Not me. However, sounds like a wheel problem, maybe a bearing. It could be your half shaft's. Are your boots in tact? Make sure that they are not cracked or leaking fluid.
