 Description of the problemI received 2 safety recall notices on my rx8. I took the car to the dealer where i leased the vehicle and i thought they corrected and/or inspected the problem. Over the course of the past 60 days, the service i have received has been unsatisfactory and i have been lead to believe that the dealer may not have addressed the safety recall issues. (cracked ball joint and heat insulation). I have a check engine light problem and i think they don't know what to do, to the point they will replace the engine. This will inevitably cause my vehicle to lose value. *jb
