Description of the problem | The clutch pedal on my 2004 mazda rx8 started making a noticeable squeaking noise constantly for about 3 weeks. At one point while driving the vehicle at around 50 mph, it made a loud cracking sound and i noticed the clutch pedal became immediately loose which made it difficult to control the gears. It caused the clutch pedal to stop working and thus impeding my ability to drive the vehicle and control its speed. The consequence of this failure could of caused an accident if the vehicle was traveling at a higher speed and/or on the highway. |
