Incident 2005 mazda 6 broke down along side road. Engine only had 40,000 miles on it. Called mazda service manager, bob, and he told me to have it towed there and he'd take care of me. I was later told the engine blew but as his crew looked at it they verified that the engine and oil was clean. He said he'd call regional and see what he could do for me to get the engine repaired/replaced.
