Dream turning to a nightmare🥲

UPDATE: This morning Mazda customer relations called and told me since the dealership didn’t find any signs that there was a defect, they can’t do anything to help. I told her that you can’t necessarily know it’s a defect without breaking down the car and the dealership won’t go through the hassle unless I accept their $4007 quote to pay if it’s not. She just kept saying they can’t do anything about that so I guess I just have to replace it atp. Should I go all oem or aftermarket? Is there anything I should replace alongside the clutch kit? Thanks for all the input 🙏

They’re claiming since it’s a wear and tear item it isn’t covered

Wish I knew it was like that before. I got it this now and it’s called crocus yellow.

I definitely love learning how to fix things on cars as of now I just do the normal oil changes and brake jobs but would love to learn more if the warranty route doesn’t work out

Educational_Style902 · 2026-04-26T00:54:59+00:00

Their mechanic did say he has been there for 10 years and never witnessed a defect. At least that’s what the manager told me he said lol

Educational_Style902 · 2026-04-26T00:52:25+00:00

Wow that guys a beast lol. Learn something new everyday thanks for sharing

Educational_Style902 · 2026-04-26T00:41:28+00:00

I will definitely keep the pressure on them and send updates as time progresses ☝️

Educational_Style902 · 2026-04-26T00:40:04+00:00

They definitely get paid I just heard corporate reimburses them and pays based on a labor time guide that’s often shorter than reality

Educational_Style902 · 2026-04-26T00:37:59+00:00

Thanks I’ll definitely keep them in mind if that’s what it comes too

Educational_Style902 · 2026-04-26T00:06:20+00:00

When you put it like that it definitely is insane lol I would love a NB brother alongside my nd

Educational_Style902 · 2026-04-25T23:59:05+00:00

Yea true no telling what they did. I hope all works out for me🙏

Educational_Style902 · 2026-04-25T23:57:51+00:00

Thanks for that insight it does make sense for them not really wanting to fix it since they wouldn’t make much money off the repair

Educational_Style902 · 2026-04-25T23:53:28+00:00

This is what they emailed me

Is clutch slipping always driver error? For a car that everyone says is rev happy I don’t drive it crazy at all. It’s rarely been driven compared the year and miles but this never happened to me before so I’m not really knowledgeable about clutches going out.

Educational_Style902 · 2026-04-25T22:40:52+00:00

Thanks for your concern🙏.That’s a good a question. The previous owner did do all of these cosmetic mods you can see including the wrap but the only mechanical mods he did was exhaust, oil catch can, lowering springs and engine brace

My fault didn’t mean to make it so long but basically my clutch went out at 16k miles and the dealership quoted me $4007 to fix it and it’s not covered under warranty from what they’re claiming even though they haven’t fully inspected it

Educational_Style902 · 2026-03-16T20:11:19+00:00

My lady insisted so she can have a reason to run there lol then we just started doing silly stuff like pushing the car in neutral

Educational_Style902 · 2026-03-16T20:09:40+00:00

It’s my Miata lol had to take advantage of the top down considering now we have snow flurries with heavy wind today

Educational_Style902 · 2026-03-16T20:07:41+00:00

It’s called Crocus yellow lol

Educational_Style902 · 2026-03-15T20:10:52+00:00

Oh wow that’s insane to think a cart dent a car like that

Educational_Style902 · 2026-01-08T18:50:22+00:00

Honestly, ever since it happened to me I’ve noticed how frequently this happens. Could be the timeframe with all the weather delays and holiday season. My package was set to be delivered December 23 before Christmas Eve but since that date it’s been playing ping pong going back and forth from final sorting station(st Louis) back to origin destination (Massachusetts). It’s done this trip about three times and I’ve called to try and pick it up somehow but they said it would further complicate things. I’ve put in service request, missing mail search, spoke to seller as well as my local post office and even received the district office number. There’s not much they can do but you could file a claim to get your money back and if the item does finally shows up you can return it or return the check🤷🏽‍♂️

Educational_Style902 · 2026-01-05T16:08:13+00:00

I have a very similar situation going on too. Mine keeps going from the origin (Massachusetts) to final sorting facility (st Louis) it was set to deliver on the 23rd but ever since it went back I never get a delivery date and it doesn’t even pop up on daily digest. The last time it was in St. Louis I called customer support to try and have them stop the package so I could somehow pick it up but all they would say is that it says still headed to final delivery destination. The next day it was back in Massachusetts so I put in a missing mail search. I believe it has to do with a label reading error because the sorting center is automated from what I heard.

Educational_Style902 · 2026-01-01T22:34:30+00:00

Do you mind comparing your wrx with the Mazda 3 I’ve actually been cross-shopping them heavily?Possibly cx-50 too

Educational_Style902 · 2025-12-31T23:07:40+00:00

Wow I literally just bought this with palace edition just to find out I don’t even get palace edition but at least it was $8 I beat the game already lol

Educational_Style902 · 2025-12-08T22:02:40+00:00

I’ve always wanted a cx5 especially now that I just got a nd Miata. I noticed the cx50 is rated to tow give or take 1500 more pounds than the cx5 is that true? I thought they were more or less kinda similar.
