Description of the problem | My 2004 mazda rx-8 only has 53,000 miles on it and is again in the shop due to manufacturer-related engine failure. This is the second time in less than 1 year i've been left stranded in hazardous circumstances because of engine failure. I've also experienced power steering failure and loss of engine compression/engine misfires while driving on multiple occasions. As a result, i'm becoming increasingly concerned for my safety, as well as for the safety of others who own/operate this type of mazda vehicle. Please consider organizing a class-action lawsuit against mazda to hold them accountable for putting many valuable lives at risk. |
