Description of the problem | This is the second complaint in 3 months regarding my new 2004 mazda rx-8. In december 2004, it would not crank due to the engine coolant problem. Supposedly, this issue was taken care of for the second time. Now, today, 3/21/05, the car sitting in the garage with 55 degree weather will not crank again. I would advice anyone interesting in purchasing this car - don't. After talking with the dealership where i purchased it as well as the mazda corporation - i get no where except to say they will send a book to tell me the correct way to crank it. I have been driving different vehicles for 26 years - i don't need a book telling me this.*ak |
