2011 MAZDA MAZDA3 Complaints

AN APPROXIMATELY 2 YEAR OLD OHTSU TIRE STARTED TO SEPARATE WHILE DRIVING AROUND 70 MILES AN HOUR.

MY CLUTCH BLEW ON 2/7/17 WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A MULTILANE BUSY CITY STREET. ALL FUNCTION OF THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION CEASED AS I WAS DRIVING, AND I COASTED ACROSS A LANE AND TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I AM THANKFUL THAT I DID NOT GET HURT. HOWEVER, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT MY CAR, A 2011 MAZDA3, STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING! THIS DIRECTLY PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER! I AM AWARE THAT MAZDA HAS A KNOWN CLUTCH RELEASE ASSEMBLY DEFECT - "A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AS OFTEN, SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION AND BECOMES INOPERABLE.'
