Consumer Description

I HAD MY 2005 MAZDA RX-8 TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY WAS BROKEN AND WAS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND SHIFT GEARS, I BELIEVE IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AND IS POOR WORKMANSHIP. I'VE HEARD THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON ON RX-8'S THAT AFTERMARKET COMPANIES ARE PRODUCING CLUTCH PEDAL REINFORCEMENT KITS. YOU KNOW IT'S REALLY A PROBLEM WHEN AFTERMARKET COMPANIES ADDRESS AND FLAW IN A PRODUCT. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S PART OF THE CLUTCH AND SAFETY OF THE CAR. AND IT'S NOT EVEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, WHICH IS HORRIBLE. NOT ONLY DID THEY PRODUCE A FLIMSY PRODUCT, BUT NOW I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR
