| My husband drove me to the grocery store and we heard a loud pop. the car barely went into first gear and started grinding when it went into second. we barely made it home!! it stalled in the middle of us turning into our road and we almost got hit. when we looked at it after we( luckily) made it home. the entire clutch pedal moved and angled to the right when depressed and went back to regular position when we let go of it. | |||

| The car was taken to the dealership due to an engine recall, after the engine was replaced under warranty the dealer informed me of large oil leaks. leaks are visible and are covering parts of the wheels and joints with oil.mazda has admitted to this defect in canada (field action number 142-36) and are providing canadian customers with a recall on this faulty and dangerous part but us customers have yet to receive such treatment. my car is a 2004 model and it should not have such issues. this is a hazard to both my safety and the safety of others on the road due to the amounts of oil that the car is leaking due to poor engineering and bad design. the mazda dealerships are charging customer an upward of 1,600 dollars to repair this issue which should not be an issue to begin with if this car was designed in a reliable way. | |||

| 2004 mazda rx8 manual transmission. the clutch pedal bracket has ripped at the upper outboard bolt to firewall. the clutch pedal return spring inboard retainer clip has broken off,outboard clip is intact but has multiple fractures. the return spring has worn into the bracket about 7 mm. vehicle owner stated there was a snapp like noise and the pedal fell to the floor. the vehicle lost its ability to shift. i have verified that the vehicle will not shift into any gear.. unless you have it in first when trying to start it. even with clutch pressed in, the starter will force the vehicle foward. the bracket to firewall tear is about 3 inches long. | |||

| The clutch pedal assembly snapped on my 2004 mazda rx8 for a second time yesterday. this is very unsafe considering the fact that when it breaks, the clutch pedal itself can move horizontally and get lodged under the brake pedal causing the driver not to be able to stop the vehicle. there's post after post in different forums around the net that describing the same thing happening to other people (ex. http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=178486&highlight=clutch+pedal). something needs to be done about these pedals before we have another toyota type of incident onm our hands | |||
