Description of the problem	I would like to report the substandard performance of a car that will soon be know as the living coffin. The mazda rx8 is in my opinion a death trap. While in houston , my car was always in the shop because it would stop on me in busy traffic. Now i am in austin and the car started stalling again. What does mazda do to remedy this problem, they sent out a dvd, that tells you how to start the car when it stops. While, i was in dallas, i met people on line that also have these mazda rx8's. They too are disgusted. This car is very unsafe, and will stop on you at the drop of a hat. Mazda has been secretly replacing engines, and all of a sudden the warranty is now at 100,000 miles. Now the catch: you take the car in and what you thought would be under warranty ends up costing you money. I have 70,000 miles on my 2004 rx8, and it has been a nightmare. I have also talked to people, that are upside down, and then other dealers are aware of this crap of a car. I have contacted your agency once before, and nothing has been done, my next course of action is a complaint with the justice department. All i need is a email address for someone in your agency, and i will have many stories. Today, my car stopped just as i crossed lake travis, and again as i attempted to clime a hill. We rx8 owners need help. You people only react only after someone has died. It is obvious there is a problem. This has been going on for years, and mazda is doing nothing. I need help and i need it now.
