Im thinking this is all connected ,.but why would one window work headlights work car run well and then have these five 5 electrical failures., can I check my car by its vin any where on line to check for mazda recalls for my vin JM1FE173250155786 my car missed the engine failure problem but certainly has issues .Im interested if any one has had my problems and if anyone has a car built may/05 .
I did miss one other repair that was covered and repaired and that was the heater control from cold to hot which was replaced due to intermittantly working - frustrated in Connecticut

These types of problems take time to trouble shoot. Be patient and hang in there. I'm sure they will figure it out. Driving a loaner will make you appreciate your 8 when you get it back.
