Give it a good oil and encourage it, it's either just a bit stuck and fixable or broken and possibly easier to just replace.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

The toothed plastic rack inside the pole usually breaks, if your motor is still working then just replace the pole, about $80 from Mazda.
