The Body problem

Takata recall. My 2006 Mazda Rx8 has had two recalls done on it. The 2nd owner had it done and afterwards a small crack started from one point where it was repaired. We had it done in gainesville again and brought it to their attention. They said they couldn't do anything except to buy a new dash.   Read details...

The Dashboard Crack problem

The dash cover over the passenger side air bag is cracking a lot in all different locations. I talked to the dealer about this and they told me it is a common issue in the RX-8's and that the factory won't cover fixing it.   Read details...
