Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON I-75 IN DOWNTOWN ATLANTA IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, THE CLUTCH PEDAL IN MY 2005 MAZDA RX-8 SUDDENLY MADE A CRACKING SOUND AND FELL TO THE FLOOR. THE CLUTCH REMAINED ABOUT 1" FROM THE FLOOR, ALLOWING MINIMAL DISENGAGEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION, SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW ME TO RETURN THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A BROKEN CLUTCH PEDAL, RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE MASTER CYLINDER. THERE HAD BEEN SOME CREAKING AT THE TOP OF THE RETURN OF THE CLUTCH PEDAL OVER THE PAST 2-3 WEEKS.
