Description of the problem | I own a mazda rx8 and i have had so many problems with it, i would come to a stop and it will stall, can't start it back up and have to have it towed to the shop. I will drive it to the store and come back out to leave and it will not start, have to have it towed. Have had the engine replaced one time already and it still has all the same problems. I can not drive it now because it is completely dead and will not start it has been in this condition for almost a month. Mazda most of the time says they can not duplicate the problem and as soon as i leave my car would break down on the way home. If you go to the web site http://forums. Automotive. Com/70/6305605/mazda/rx-8-lawsuit/page4. Html you will see that this car is just a death trap and so many people are having all the same problems with this car that i am. Please do something about this. I am not a wealthy person and can not afford to be taken advantage of like this. I paid $23,000 for this car and it is costing me an arm and a leg to keep it running. I do not own another car. |
