 Description of the problemI purchased my vehicle on 12/5/06 at russel mazda in catonsville, md. Very satisfied with the look of the vehicle and having no prior knowledge the vehicle i made my decision to purchase. Several of my family members own mazda? S and believe in your vehicles but none own the rx-8. On 1/4/07, after moving a short distance to park the vehicle, the vehicle wouldn? T restart 5 minutes later. Vehicle had to be towed back to russel mazda in catonsville for service. Dealer states ? No start condition. Car towed in. Customer hears a whining sound from under the hood when trying to star engine. Engine does not turn over, ? Possible starter?. Car flooded, de-flooded car as per bulletin #01-048/06xxb479r1//. 3 ? Procedure ? A? Only. After believing this problem was resolved, i assumed everything was ok. To no avail, on april 4, 2008, due to an emergency, once again i had to drive the vehicle a short distance. After parking vehicle at home for 2 days during a short illness, i went to start vehicle to go to work vehicle wouldn? T start. ? De-javu?! I waited a few minutes and tried to start vehicle again. After that, i had to call out of work advising them of car trouble. I then waited 4 hours to try starting again, still no start. I called the castle ford/mazda in beltsville who advised me to tow vehicle in. Once unit arrived, after one week of waiting for results of diagnosis, vehicle was flooded again. The dealer gave me an initial repair estimate of $850. 00. I was able to have them lower that amount to $650. 00. My trust in mazda? S products has truly been tarnished.
