Description of the problem	My 2004 mazda, has 60k miles on it. Already have had engine failure, leaving me stranded on a busy highway. Experienced issues with the heat shield and sensors. Now my clutch pedal bracket is apparently broken, it started off squeaking loudly and embarrassingly. Sounded like it needed some wd40 or something, also leaning inward toward the brake, causing me to sometimes inadvertently depress the brake along with the clutch. It soon after completely broke, depressing nearly to the floor and leaving me stranded once again on the expressway. I know i'm not driving a bmw/audi/mercedes etc. But i'm also not driving a kia, yet my roommates kia has far less problems and isn't left without a car nearly as often as i am.
