I would fight them on voiding the whole warranty. I can see them standing firm on clutches, cv axles, engine parts etc....but WTF on the body parts?
Contact your local TV station for some consumer assistance. Its worth a shot and free. Hiring a laywer gets real expensive.
Don't give in yet. Good luck.

what really pissed me off is that this guy knew who I was when I talked to him on the phone and set up my whole appointment, he waits till i drive all the way across milwaukee, i get out of the car, he tells me to get back in and drive my car into the service garage, then i get out and walk to the desk. He asks me whats wrong and i go through everything, then he tells me he wont touch it. I have had the bushings replaced multiple times, its a known issue, but now he wont do it. Then he opens the garage for me and i have to drive all the way back. what an assclown,

Wait, they're misinformed on that one. Clutch chatter is caused by aftermarket intakes, duh! At least that's what my dealership told me.Emode said:
******* ass hats. :mad:the boost controller was a friends, he wanted me to try it out, and left it in my car. I never once thought a mazda tech would go snooping around through the glovebox. The mil eliminator was originally going to be used with my exhaust(ion), but then i realized i wouldnt need it after driving for thousands of miles without it and not getting a CEL, since the ion pipe doesnt throw one. Im not sure how well either would fare as a paperweight being that they are relatively small and lightweight.
i feel like this is the salem witch trials or something
should i be saying "mazda uber alles", and worry about the mazda gestapo?

I know you have no real reason to lie here..or none that i can think of but this entire story seems like bulls***. I cannot see any tech going thru a glove box and then admitting to it after finding something. On top of that, they have to prove it was on your car. They cant just void your warranty for it. You just seem too laid back for this to be true, nobody takes something like that without a fight. It would take two seconds to call MNAO, they will solve everything. Dealers dont want a bad rep, trust me..I dunno..somethings fishy here
uh, dude, ive been on here for a long time and have never lied once, its the damn internet, whats the point.
The tech at this dealer didnt say anything about them going into my glovebox, it was my friend who is a tech at a non-mazdaspeed dealer back in my hometown who mentioned it to me a few months ago. He said there was a report saying they found it in the glovebox, and it was flagged, but he didnt say the warranty was actually voided. Now today they did say it was voided.
IM just as confused about it as anyone else, but i really dont know where to begin. I am not legally inclined in any sense and i came here to get some help about what to do, like i always do. The engine isnt blown, it has no real problems, just minor ones that could be fixed easily, so why would I lie? Unfortunalty I also live in a bad apartment with no garage or tools, so I cant really do much on my own without driving back up north and getting ahold of my firends, but they have lives to that dont neccesarily revolve around me and my car, so I cant guarantee it will be done over a weekend. the only fishy thing here is that my warranty was voided for a part that wasnt on my damn car,

Which is exactly why you need to FIGHT, do not give up. Contact the owner of the dealership and contact Mazda for the name of the district manager.
Mazda knows that we are going to modify our cars. People have been modifying cars for quite some time now. You just cannot expect them to warranty something that wears out from increased boost.
Since your clutch is chattering, your throwout bearing is worn out, or oil is getting on the clutch disc. I suspect the throwout bearing.

yeah the clutch isnt even that big of a deal, since i was planning on getting a new one sometime down the road anyways, but im really easy on it. I just threw the clutch idea in there when I was at the dealership and remembered in had been chattering a bit, expected them more to just check it out and tell me the problem so I knew what to fix. I didnt expect them to fix it seeing as i have about 25000 on the car.
And it thing that really bothers me is that its like a damn battlefield when you get in there, theres no such thing as courtesy or respect between a manufacturer and a customer. We get treated like the enemy and have to fight for any respect whatsoever. I go into these places with a good attitude and try to work things out and they just shut me down.
