Description of the problem	I own a 2004 mazda rx8 and have never had more problems with a car in my life. Shortly after buying it, it would not start, had it towed to dealer, they could not find a problem. Have had to have it towed 8 times now because it stalls when coming to a stop or when taking off. It has sat all winter due to not starting. My had sweat just thinking about driving this car and i will only take back roads, one near miss on the highway was enough for me to stay off and stay on back roads, at least then i have some chance of getting it to the side of the road. My car has been in the shop so many times i have lost count although i have all of the repair orders. They did replace the engine, but it still runs rough, now the engine lite is on again!!!! This is the only car i have to drive and i can not trade it in because all the dealers know about the car and will not give me even one half of what i paid for it. I have seen so many complaints on this car for so many reasons and can not believe the car itself has not been recalled. They should buy them all back for what we paid for them mine was $23,000. Why aren't you doing what you have done to toyota??????? I am going to die in this car!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You ask for approximate incident date, well i have about 20 of them and you only allow one.
