Description of the problem	I want to go on file that i have a concern with the solution to a problem with our 2004 mazda rx 8. We purchased it used from a reputable ford dealer several months back and had an issue with starting the car. After some online research we found out the car is prone to gas flooding when not allow to run until the temperature gauge is halfway. If shut off before the engine floods with gas. I took it to cory fairbanks mazda where the vin was checked and that the car did have the recall 4206f already done and the only solution to the problem is to let the car warm up. My concern is the constant excessive flow of gas during start up, raw gas constantly flowing through the catalytic and the excessive heat created by these engines could cause a fire and injure all those in and around the vehicle. I have emailed mazda also about my concerns and feel the solution is a disaster waiting to happen. Thank you.
