| I was driving around 35mph on the crossing of dempster and greenwood. as i pressed in the clutch to switch gears the pedal snapped. i did not slam on the clutch pedal or anything. i was unable to switch gears. i had to drive on 2nd gear home which was luckily less than a mile away. i thought this might be a simple defect in my car, however as i did my research i found out that quite a few owners of the mazda rx8 6speed manual have this problem. i called mazda dealership in evanston and asked them to replace it since it is a factory mistake and my car is under warranty. they told me they will not replace it. now i cant drive my car to the mechanic , and the car is sitting in my driveway due to being unable to switch gears and drive. | |||

| Driver & passenger sun visor splitting apart and dangleing in the way of the driver and passenger view. the visor in that condition won't stay up you have to remove it until you can order a new one then take it in for repair. | |||
