Broken Healt Conrol ****

First cold morning with my RX-8, so I go out early to warm it up and defrost the windows. I get the car started, reach for the heat ****, and as I turn it falls of into my hand. Shocked, I look inside the **** and find a plastic piece had broken off. As you can imagine I was pissed, I just got this car two weeks ago. I will be taking it to the dealership tomorrow, and hopefully they will give me one off a car sitting on the lot. In any case, I find the construction of this **** a little disturbing, you would think for 30,000+ dollars they would spend a little more on a device that will be used thousands of times.

Just a heads up go, easy on these ***** they are not made from the highest quality materials.

There's a Technical Service Bulletin on this, it's nothing to get upset about. They'll replace it with a reinforced **** under warranty. This has happened to lots of folks, do a search on "broken ****" and you'll see.
