Razz so if I had to pay for a new clutch pedal when mine failed earlier this year, they'll reimburse me now?

ok so0 i had my car towed to the dealer earlier 2day since there is a covered warrantyy...
but now the guy calls me up sayin tht it is not the bracket, that it mite have to do sumthin with the slave cylinder. I told him that it was impossible, my clutch pedal stays down n the only thing that supports it is the bracket.

These guys r just tryin to ripp me off n charge me $$ since they r not gettin anythin from me bc of the warranty coverage..UGHHH

comments n ideas would greatly b appreciated

If it was the pedal, they would collect labor charges from Mazda. I don't know that they are trying to get away with anything.

There is now way to tell from what you have posted. Do we have the complete story?
