Clutch pedal bracket broken under normal conditions. I went to push the clutch in to downshift at highway speeds to over take a slower vehicle and it snapped with an audible "pop" and I couldnt shift into the lower gear and my rpms, went to idle at highway speed. Had it broken at a different time, I could have been locked into a certain gear and ha to break fast or crash risking the lives of my occupants and the occupants of another vehicle

Good morning, I have received numerous letters informing me that I have a recall on my Mazda. It is the "fuel leak at fuel pump rings and fuel pump discharge pipe 1017E" recall. I have been receiving them for the past year or so. Every time I check the NHTSA website or the mazdarecallinfo.com website, it says "remedy not yet available". I am concerned with my safety at this point and am wondering just why there is no "remedy" yet available? it seems to be an important recall, in my opinion.

My clutch pedal on my Mazda rx 8 broke at 80,000 miles. I searched the internet and this seems to be a problem.

I'm going in today for the third time because my ac continues to make a noise when the fan is blowing. I cant even begin to list all of the problems I've had with this car. Just to name a few I'm on my second engine, new brakes, battery and tires before 40K miles and I was told by three different shops that something is really wrong with the brakes but Mazda claims other wise. I've had a two new radiators and my driver window went out along with everything else from the visor falling off during the hot summer because it just melted. How does a "sun visor" melt. I've had the shifting paddles replaced because they just didn't work and I don't even really use them, the gas cap lock broke and I had to pry it open since the eject no longer worked... I think you get the point and I didn't even mention some of the bi items. I've never had so many problems with a car in my life. I cant wait until I can sell it or maybe ill get lucky and it will implode. It wouldn't surprise me at this point. This car is junk!!! I'm going back to Honda.
