Description of the problem | The heater control units are failing on mazda rx8. When driving the air goes hot to cold back and forth. If you move the knob back and forth you can get your heat back. I have had windows fog up because the heat has gone out. I have contacted mazda and they will not address it. I am not the only person this affects. If you do a search on rx8club. Com you will see all the failures. |
