Consumer Description

WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN WARD AVE. I PRESSED IN MY CLUTCH PEDDLE AND IT WAS STUCK ON THE FLOOR I COULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF GEAR I HAD TO STOP THE CAR AND LET IT STALL OUT. AFTER I PULLED OVER AND LET THE CAR STALL OUT I PULL THE CLUTCH PEDAL WITH MY FOOT AND PRESSED IT IN TO START THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD START BUT I COULDN'T MOVE AT ALL BECAUSE EVERY TIME I PUSHED THE PEDDLE IT WOULD STAY STUCK ON THE FLOOR. AND I HAD TO TOW IT TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP UP THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. *TR
