Mazda dealer didn't find an solution. Finally after several calls i got tired of it and i decided to see for myself under the dash. I discovered that the clutch pedal metallic base was completely cracked/broken. They said no guarantee will cover that. They said that was my responsibility and asked me about my driving. So, finally in september 26 / 2009 alexandria mazda dealer replaced the whole piece and i paid for that. They charged me: $520. 78. ( fe05-41-300c ) clutch pedal assembly broken. I have the invoice.
