Description of the problem | My mazda rx-8 has stalled many times while at a traffic light and while going on trips on the interstate and all of a sudden it would lose power and stalls and i would have to pull over and start it again which it would take a few minutes before it would start. I have had my mazda towed from my house to the dealer bec it would not start and i was told that it was flooded. Now it won't start again and it is really frustrating and starting to worry me how dangerous it is driving my mazda. I have had my mazda for a year now and the only time i drive it is when i go on a long trip or to go shopping and mostly on weekends or after i get off from work. I would like to have this resolve so that i won't get hurt or somebody else will get hurt bec of this. I understand that mazda rx-8 had a recall on fuel system i just wonder if this was taken care of for this car. The dealer told me the car is fine and to make sure to warm it up before you shut the engine down ,i have done that and now my mazda will not start again. |
