Bought a 2017 MX-5 RF from a Mazda approved garage in June last year.Last week the gear stick froze up whilst the car was on a dual carriageway, meaning I couldn't put the car in gear. I was coasting at about 40mph, quite a frightening experience. Was able to get on the central reservation and call for help.Used Mazda roadside assistance and they took the car to a Mazda approved garage.An oil leak has been identified with the gear shifter which will cost nearly £400 to fix.I assumed my extended Warranty would cover this (still 3 months on it) but as they don't need to remove the gear stick itself, Mazda are refusing to cover the cost. I can't see this small print on my warranty but it must be there somewhere.No courtesy car has been offered and the car is in Dewsbury (I'm in Leeds) meaning I'll have to get a train or taxi out there to collect it.You really do feel like a second class citizen as a used Mazda owner. Even where you engage with Mazda approved services/garages, they don't want to know.I bought the car because I heard the cars were bulletproof and the aftercare was great. Perhaps if you are buying new. But for used vehicles Mazda don't want to go near you.Really disappointed. It isn't often you have to shell out for repairs to a vehicle you've had less than 9 months.
