Description of the problem | I have owned a 2004 mazda rx7 since oct 07 since then the engine has been replaced at 26,000 miles 2 set of coils spark plugs and wires, sensors, transmission, radiator reservoir just for starters. Now the car is stalling at low rpm's or when it gets hot leaving me stranded in intersections and on busy freeways. Mazda has a bulletin out on this car but because they do not consider it a safety issue they will not recall the car. I beg to differ!! Being stranded in an intersection or on a busy highway increases my odds greatly that i am going to be hit by another car and possibly killed. There has got to be some type of government body out there that can enforce these many claims of engine failure against mazda and there rotary engine because the latest diagnosis is that i need to replace the engine again!! Please help! |
