Mazda is blaming wear and tear and misuse of the clutch. I have been driving manual cars for 30 yrs. This is outrageous that I have a warranty and it is clearly under the 3yr and 36,000 mile warranty and they are telling me its not covered. My haven't even had my car for 2 yrs. How is this even possible? I would understand if I was just learning but I am not. Mazda is ripping me off and not taking care of its customer. How can a clutch fail at 22,000 miles unless there was a problem in the first place. Mazda is horrible. I thought I could count on having a reliable car. My husband and I are the only ones who drive this car and he has 30 yrs experience also. What's the purpose of having a warranty if you can't use it.
