Yep. This.
I contacted Mazda NA directly and blasted them until they offered to take my Mazda to the next nearby dealership where they entirely replaced my manual gearbox at no cost to me. Also got a loaner for the whole 4 weeks my car was with them.
So, do your research, explain how you’re not a one-in-a-million case, and hint that you will make this public, gather everyone affected, and then make this a bigger problem than it already is.
In my case…
I pointed at safety being an issue, and how I will make a note of this issue publicly, and how Mazda ignored it and if anything were to happen to me or my family due to that gearbox failing whilst I’m traveling at 70mph on the highway or otherwise, that I would not be kind to them.
