Maybe Mazda should file a suit against all of us as a collective for bitching so much.

 

HEY NOW! I signed up cos no one had posted anything about the Procharger in a while.

This is just a conveniant coincidence

 

woo - thanks for the update. does this confirm that the sky is falling?

C'mon - "surprise it's winter when you get your car back"?? Estimated time for engine replacement by Mazda = 1 week. So, by your calculations, winter in Vegas sets in about mid September. Here's a little geography lesson for you - you're a tool.

 

Mazda has Hitler's brain hooked up to a machine that makes all of their corporate decisions for them. that's why mazda is so evil.

 

There are only 4 "my engine stalled in traffic" complaints for 2004 RX8 on the NHTSA web site. Only 1 for 2005 RX8. Zero for 2006 RX8. None resulted in crash, injury or death. If you're counting on it, that's probably not enough for the government to take any action. It's a mechanical problem, not a safety problem at this point - which Mazda seems to be addressing.

 

west gets it first then gulf then the others. there are 5 regions- they will do a slow roll out so the most effected areas get it first. the rest get it 2 weeks later

 

in all the 100+ weather of this year i havent had a single problem i love my car

 

I live in San Diego. I took my car to the dealer yesterday for an oil change. It's an April 2005 build with 7,700 miles on it and no problems so far.

The dealer had the information about the recall and performed the recall test. There were no problems noted. He reflashed it and replaced the two leading spark plugs.

No muss, no fuss, no new engine.

 

Just thought I would ask here because I am not starting a new thread and it goes with this anyway,

Did I hear right that our warranty is now 60k? is that bumper to bumper or just tranny and such?? or just a farse?

 

Drivetrain only.

Are they gonna send out something notifying us on the extended warranty?

 

That pdf is what they will send. That's how I read it, anyway. It mentions a card for the owner to put w/the manual regarding the extension. Plus it asks for new owner info from those owners no longer in possession of the 8.

 

it is in your informatin in the mazda database as well. it shows under "recalls" section like the free maintenance does. so if the dealer does a vIN look up on you they will see an "open" program and when they click thru the details will tell them about the extended warranty

 

Let me sum up how BAD Mazda treated me during my ordeal with the RX-8.

1. I had to have an engine replacement which took 2 months last summer. They reimbursed me for every payment while the car was out of action.

2. They gave me a free 100K bumper to bumper warranty.

When the car still had issues I started the buyback process which took a whole 2 weeks. I thne purchased a Mazdaspeed 6 in replacement with no credit check or hassle with the new lease.

They did all these things quickly and without any arguments, why do you need to always sue. A couple of carefully worded letters and one or two phone calls is all it took.

I am a happy owner of a MS6 and I think Mazda is THE best customer service orientated car company period. I have heard horror stories with other people dealing with Nissan, Honda & Toyota - once you buy they do not care one bit baout you.

Thanks Mazda!! and I hope the RX-8 issues are sorted, because they are great cars (I still miss mine).

 

UK_BLACK, was most of your dealings with MAZDA NA or your local dealership? My dealings with Mazda NA have been good, the dealer another story and I think that goes for most people.

 

You give the name Blake a bad name!!!

 

Actually my dealings with both the dealership (Peoples, Las Vegas) and Mazda NA have been good so far. Especially Mazda NA.

Thx
