Consumer Description

MAZDA ISSUED A WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THE A/C COMPRESSOR BECAUSE OF A KNOWN PROBLEM. MY COMPRESSOR BROKE AFTER THIS EXTENSION. IT CREATED A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE CLUTCH BROKE OFF OF THE COMPRESSOR CAUSE SPARKS TO FLY FROM THE LOOSE RUBBING METAL. SPARKS WERE NOT CAUSED FROM ELECTRIC ARC. WHEN THE CLUTCH ORIGINALLY SEIZED THE ENGINE / COMPRESSOR BEGAN TO SMOKE. I TURNED OFF THE AC AND DROVE HOME. UPON DRIVING THE CAR TO TO THE REPAIR SHOP WITH THE AC OFF, THE CLUTCH SEPARATED AND BEGAN SPARKING. THIS CLUTCH COULD HAVE SEPARATED AND SHOT LIKE A PROJECTILE. AC COMPRESSOR BROKE WHILE ON HIGHWAY. I HAVE THE OLD PART SHOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE IT.
