Description of the problem	I bought a 2004 mazda rx8 brand new in early 2005 from the dealer. I have had to have it towed in for repair over 10 times. They have tried to fix it each time. They even had to replace the engine after only 23,000 miles. Now looks like i will need another engine. They have had numerous recalls on it. It has stalled on me before but the other day it almost cost me my life. It stalled due to hot weather with on coming traffic. I nearly had a head on collision. After doing some research i find that it has yet more recalls on it for same problem of stalling. This is a very unsafe car. I read on different forums of all the horror stories others are having with same problems. The dealerships are trying to say there is no problem or that its something we did and try to charge us to repair their defects. Something has got to be done before people are killed. I now find out that no one wants to take it in on trade for fair value. Mazda sold this car before it was ready for production and they should buy it back at fair value. They need to get them off the road before its to late. Please help put pressure on them to do what's right.
