So when I pull up to the house, I come to a stop, shift to Park, engage the parking brake and then release my foot from the brake pedal. Should be no load on the transmission.

Question. If parked on level ground why does this still stress the transmission?
There is no stress on the transmission when parking on level ground without the parking brake.
I never use parking brake unless it is obviously sloped. Never had a problem with any of my automatic cars.
I found this thread while searching for answers to my wife''s unimpressive braking performance compared to my cx5. I will mention it to dealer while I am there for next oil change. Car has about 30k miles
Sorry for your gp...that he is disrespected by his own grandchild...
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)
Mike, after calling Mazda USA for the second time I am getting reimbursed again. I have been driving for 40 years and have never had rear brakes wear out before the front ones. Everyone on this forum should present the tsb below to their dealer. The second link has complaints starting with the 2013 CX5 model year.

Just to be clear, this recall is only if the outer brake pad wears out before the inner pad. It's caused by corrosion due to road salt which causes the outer pad to shoulder most of the brake wear. However, even with this fix, it is normal for the rear pads to wear out before the front pads if most braking is very light. The way to tell if you have this issue is the inner and outer pads will not be approximately equal in thickness when inspected.

Many cars today have a rear brake bias in which the rear pads kick in during low speeds and as you press the pedal more the front pads kick in. My wife uses the CX-5 and uses lots firm braking as she drives through highway traffic. There's even wear front and back for her CX-5. My Mazda6 sees 90% city driving where I do lots of soft braking. I see more rear pad wear vs front. This is normal and is working as designed. For proof there's an actual Mazda video out there (cannot find at the moment) that illustrates this.
