Description of the problem	My clutch pedal was already replaced at 101,000 miles by another dealer part by mazda that was suppose to be updated by mazda because of so many clutch pedal brackets in the rx8's always breaking. Mazda even extended the warranty over 100,000 miles because it was becoming so common. The so called updated one they replaced, broke again, and it was new when it was put in. It lasted 50k miles and that's all. Im going on my 3rd clutch pedal assembly and mazda will only cover the first breakage. I called mazda corporate and they said that the replacement clutch only carries a part warranty of 30,000 miles. And that the clutch pedal assembly is a wear and tear item. Clutch pedals in every other car on the market last the lifetime of the car. And im going on 3 in this car alone. Mazda was suppose to have put an updated clutch pedal assembly in my car and they didn't. Given, the work was done at firestone because my car was the closest to that place because it was undrivable. But even if it was done at mazda they still would have given me the same crappy warranty. Mazda says that the extended warranty only covers the first clutch pedal assembly replacement. The first one lasted longer than the second one! And the second one was suppose to be better. Come to find out. The mazda dealer that sold firestone the clutch assembly, sold them the old model one and charged me new pricing! My complaint to you is that since all of these rx8 owners are breaking their clutch still. Mazda is not holding onto their promise to fix clutch pedal issues. Is there any way you guys can force mazda to cover the newer pedals that break too? I mean this whole thing is ridiculous.
