Today I dropped the hammer. I purchased a 2007 MS6 with only 24K miles for what I believe is a good deal. Guess what? The MS6 breaks down on me at 10:30pm on my way home from the dealership!! Including my test drive this was the 20th mile that I have owned the car.
I purchased the MS6 from a Jeep Dealership locally who I have purchased 2 Jeeps from within the last 2 years. I fully trust this dealership to stand behind their product. They sent a tow truck to pick up the MS6 this late at night, and have assured me they will fix any issue with the car. The Mazda is also still under factory warranty.
What should I do? Should I cut the deal and run? I don't want to do this because I have been looking for this particular color and it is extremely clean! I have been looking and test driving every MS6 within 200 miles for 6 months. My brain tells me DANGER get away, but I also am hoping it is something minor.
What happened? The MS6 was running great in town. Then I got on the highway and was cruzing home at about 70mph. I change lanes to pass a truck and gave it some gas, but did not downshift, still in 6th. Then the first issue took place. There was a rough vibration from the rearend. I let off the gas and then punched it again at 70mph, same vibration.
So I think, I must be in to tall a gear. I clutch and go to downshift. All hell breaks lose. I cannot get the car into any gear. I pump clutch, and still cannot grab any gear trying to force it. hit hazards and pull over to the side of the highway. At this point my clutch is sticking and will only raise about 30% after a pump. Car rolls to a stop and idles very rough. I kill the car and call the salesman on his cell!
Should I run from this MS6?
Or should I try a Mazda dealership to research the issue since I still have 3 months on the factory remaining warranty?
Sorry for the long rant and Thank You in advance for any advice.
