Mazda has a service bulletin out for rear brake wear, it's not a "feature" like Mike.M is opining. I looked into it, lol

I'm not saying the OP's brakes are normal because they don't sound normal and I haven't inspected them. My comments were in direct response to another member complaining that their rear brake pads only lasted 30,000 miles:
I'm saying it's normal for the rear brakes to wear out sooner than the front brakes. This is the opposite of every other car I've owned and will occur on every CX-5 that is working correctly and driven without hard braking. But nice attempt to twist my words and try to make it appear I said something I didn't. (no)
Judging by your earlier post:
The fact that you quoted me is proof that your attempt to add me to your ignore list was a failure! (whistle)

G35x... only G35/37 RWD sports have the LSD. The X AWD sports just use the simulated like other Infiniti G models. Of course they renamed the G37 the Q40 the final few years to squeeze a few more years of life out of it. The Q50 didn't sell as well as they hoped and they needed something on the lower price point so they kept the old G37 around and renamed it the Q40. 2015 was final model year of that series.
Glad I avoided the 3.7L VVEL motors...the early ones anyway. Some oil consumption issues from 2008-2010 or '11. There is a Nissan TSB on it.
This guy knows whats up.
Don't listen to other members that give out BS info like "this is what happens on the race track [probably never even driven on one]....brakes last between 25k-75k [broad statement with such a huge range]"....and list of other non-factual observations
Just block him. He and another handjob are gone from my feed and it's a wonderful place again.
Funny thing is, he claimed to have put me on his ignore list last week but he's still misquoting my posts. How is that possible? (uhm)

Mine are at 36k miles and not anywhere near done. Same for the fronts.

The VQ37 was actually the only part of my 370Z that impressed me. I would lose about 1/2 quart every 4-5K miles or so, but considering that every downshift was perfectly rev-matched, I bet it was just getting sucked through the PCV, and I was pretty impressed! Mine was a 2012, though.

Now I am wondering if my dealer lied and ripped me off.

Was going to block them but then I realized they give me a good laugh. Though sometimes their posts are just nasty.

I already blocked him but his BS permeates the filters when someone quotes him.
Anyway, sorry OP. If you're brake pedal on your 2016 doesn't feel right, why even worry about what it might be, just let the dealer take care of it under warranty. If they can't fix it or say there is no issue, you can let them explain to you why they think its ok and work it out.
If you're really bent on fixing it, it might be related to air in the brake lines, so you can try bleeding your brakes. You can take this opportunity to use a better fluid too like Motul RBF600 or Castrol SRF, which I've had a lot of great results with.

This is ironic! You claim to have me on your ignore list and yet have demonstrated you are able to reply directly to my posts (which is impossible). Hint: Switch to "threaded" display mode to view which post a reply is in response to. To blame it on someone else quoting me is a flat out lie.
It looks like you know about as much about the software that runs this site as you do about mechanical details. I am always honest here - it looks like you need to do some soul searching before you start accusing me of BS...
And so it continues.
OP. I feel the same way about the brakes on my CX5 (2016). My last car was a Accord that I put cross drilled and slotted rotors on with better pads and the change was amazing. To me the brakes on the cx5, just seem as if they don't "bite" like my last car did. Ive actually had the auto stop function turn on, on me and it felt I wasn't going to stop in time. Time for me to adjust to the braking on this car. And if I find some better rotors and pads for when they need to be changed.

Very weird. My 2015 seems great for a small suv. I'm quick to call something out o a shortcoming, but I'm just not having issues.
You leave it in N and use the brake? This relieves stress on the transmission? I use mine when parked on a hill but still leave it in P. Not good?
