Description of the problem | Complaint is to mazda usa for their weak clutch pedal welds. I've been driving my rx8 (2004) since september 2007 and the first time it snapped was in 2008 late summer. I got it rewelded at a local shop and after about 9 months the bracket broke in half, broke right through the welds and cracked the metal. So i bought a new bracket and an aftermarket reinforcement bracket for about 450$ which should all be covered by mazda. |
