Ok, i had had the brake light come on while braking now 80% of the time regardless of the force applied on the brake pedal. I checked the brake fluid and it is not below the minimum but it is not at the top. Heres 2 pics of the level:
I also checked the brake pads out and they look like they have plenty of meat on them :
But as i look at my brakes, i want to cry. My car has 33k Kms and the brakes look like something left on the side of the road. Very bad corrosion and the surface of the brakes feels uneven as i rub my finger on them. No huge scratches but obvious lines scored into them by looking at them. While stopping from speeds around 80km and up, it feels like the brakes arent being applied evenly throughout the entire stopping process like there are times when the brakes let up for a fraction of a second.
I think i should make an appointment for the mazda dealership, maybe get the rotors resurfaced or new rotors all together. Should i also get new pads, or just new pads? Should i add more brake fluid? Will new rotors or pads (im assuming pads, no) be covered under warranty?
Here are some pictures of my horrible brakes, i have checked out other p5s around my area and their brakes look very nice. The car has been driven hard at times, i have laid off quite a bit since the brake light has come on.
I live north of Toronto so i do experience Snow, lots of salt, ice etc in the winter
