I took my RX in to get power steering issues fixed just to find out that the oil cooler lines were rusting out which is also a recall in other parts of the world but not the us. In the upper states this can be a massive problem if oil starts spraying all over the motor and the ground it could cause environmental, and safety hazards to other people on the road. If gone unnoticed it could easily cause engine failure and potential fires from the motor while on the road which no one wants, there's no reason this recall should not apply to the us, atleast the northernmost states.

Rusted oil cooler - lines causing major leaks that are soaking the brakes and tires with oil. This could also cause the engine to seize while driving.

Takata recall making a complaint about not doing recall in a timely manor.

My vehicle experienced a defect known to Mazda to the extent of them issuing a recall (or ssp) in the canadian market due to use of corrosives and excessive wet seasons causing build up on and corrosion of the oil cooler lines. Mazda clearly stated in the canadian ssp (#76) that extensive corrosion could cause a leak and/or loss of pressure, and knowing that a loss of pressure or a significant amount of oil while the car was in operation would cause drastic mechanical engine failure by way of burning out the seals/rotors/bearings and eventual seizure or total loss of compression in the motor. The loss of oil pressure due to corrosion directly resulting from this caused my apex seals to overheat and no longer provide a seal to allow the motor to hold compression. Due to this failure directly caused by the known defect, and the fact that the issue was put in place for canada due to their high propensity for extended wet seasons and high use of corrosives to alleviate wintery conditions on the roadways, Mazda should also have issued regional or case-by-case recalls of vehicles that experience this same defect in areas of the united states that experience similar conditions. Had I been travelling on the highway and not on a 25mph city road, I could have experience a major accident or incident because of my motor failure. There are numerous other cases of this defect showing in american vehicles across the country, from near me (in new england) to California that have been reported online. I can contact the licensed mechnic who dealt with the vehicle for copies of his work orders, and I have receipts to prove that I purchased oil cooler lines as replacements before I knew of the loss of compression and ruined motor. Mazda USA was of no help in alleviating the problem, and I am now out thousands of dollars on a vehicle that I had recently purchased before the event occurred.

Good morning, I have received numerous letters informing me that I have a recall on my Mazda. It is the "fuel leak at fuel pump rings and fuel pump discharge pipe 1017e" recall. I have been receiving them for the past year or so. Every time I check the NHTSA website or the Mazdarecallinfo. Com website, it says "remedy not yet available". I am concerned with my safety at this point and am wondering just why there is no "remedy" yet available? it seems to be an important recall, in my opinion.

To whom it may concern. I purchase the car on July 21 2017. The ac has not been working properly since I purchased the car. Now the Mazda dealership wants me to pay for this to get fix. I was wondering if some can help me out with this. Before I give this car back to the dealer and they can keep the car. I'm not paying 1. 900. 00 to have the car fix. Thank you please let me know what we can do to get this fix!.

Driving down the highway, went to shift up into a higher gear and upon depression the clutch pedal assembly snapped and broke preventing me from disabling the transmission and allowing the transmission to go into the neutral or any other position. I was traveling at approximately 65mph and my car has only 46,135 miles on it.

Pcm flash.

Clutch pedal assembly snapped in half at weld point, while shifting at normal speeds on highway.

I was driving on i4, and went to shift from 4th gear to 5th gear; I heard a snap and the clutch pedal went to the floor. I then had about 2 inches of travel in my clutch pedal. The clutch pedal breaking is a known issue with Mazda Rx8s. No, I do not have a heavy duty clutch.

I was slowing down at an intersection and pushed in the clutch pedal to put the car in neutral and slow down. When I did this the clutch pedal snapped and went all the way to the floor. I was unable to use the clutch to shift at this point. I was lucky enough that I was on a downhill slope so I was able to shift into second gear and get enough momentum to drive the rest of the way home, but I was stalled in traffic until I did get the speed I needed to get into gear.

I was driving on the freeway and as I was pushing the clutch in with my foot, I heard a loud pop. I wasn't able to change gears but luckily I was going to the offramp so I pulled over and looked at the clutch. The metal clutch plate had broke.

I was going to pull out of the parking lot when the clutch pedal bent over to the side (brake side). Because of the bent, I can not put my car into gear or turn it on.

The drivers side door will not unlock. This is an apparently known issue with Mazda as several people have talked about in club sites and there are even videos on this issue on youtube. The fact of the matter is this is a very serious safety issue because if you cannot exit a vehicle quickly after an accident or fire people could die. Someone already mentioned this issue back in 2010 and from how I read his information nothing has been done. Please investigate this issue with these doors not being about to unlock and open.

I was driving down the highway, coming to a stop from 65 mph speed because of traffic ahead, and as soon as I press the clutch pedal it snaps. The clutch pedal now moves freely making the vehicle completely inoperable. Had to call a friend to tow my car with her truck. And even though I was able to safely stop by pulling the car in neutral and stopping on the shoulder, things could have been a lot worse if I had to make an emergency stop or accelerate.

The driver and passenger side sun visors have split open and flipped down spontaneously blocking my vision while driving. I've had multiple instances of the driver and passenger side sun visors splitting along the seams, causing them to disrupt my visibility of the road. I had my Mazda dealer replace the defective visors while under warranty on multiple occasions, but the defect continues to occur. Every single time I was informed that splitting sun visors was a common occurrence on all Mazda RX-8s. The lubricant inside the hinge of the visors would solidify during hot weather and cause the spring to expand, thus splitting the plastic sun visor along the seams. Since the visors hang in the downward position once the plastic has split, the only way to not obstruct my vision while driving is to completely remove them from their mounts. This, however, causes the added problem of not having any way to block direct sunlight that can shine on your face in the early morning or evening. The only recourse given to me is to continually replace the sun visors at $75 each every few months. I find that this is a potential safety hazard that should be addressed. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Rusted oil cooler lines and fittings on my Rx8 driven in ohio where road salting is prevalent in snow months. Filing this complaint since there is a recall issued for my same model year in canada (special program 76) for this exact issue due to snow and salt. Modified lines are available to address issue but Mazda is not extending recall coverage to u. S. Repair cost at dealer above $1k.

Power steering stopped working when I was turning on to the high way. Making it stif and hard to turn. Clutch peddle collapsed making it had to shift gears and the clutch ratio is off,.

Around 07/04/2013, my clutch start to give me a few problems. The major one was that the clutch pedal would not respond how it normally should. I would stick and eventually made it very hard to shift into first gear and reverse. Since it was a holiday weekend, I had to wait till 07/08/2013 until my normal mechanic was open. While inspecting it, he found that the clutch pedal would shift and wiggle side to side, which is very abnormal. When I went to inspect it myself, I heard a "snap!" and the pedal shifted all the the way to the brake pedal. Upon further inspection, it was found that the pedal's braked, connecting it to the car's fire wall had snapped apart. I had heard that this was a known fact by Mazda, and they had sent out a recall on the part. I went to the Mazda dealership and was informed that there was not a recall, but a warranty extension, and my car is not covered by the extension and I would have to buy a new part, and pay the labor. The car is not drivable now, and I now have to pay for a known problem that Mazda refuses to fix. Even in the most extreme situations, this part should never break. It is still a very dangerous and possibly fatal defect, that is still known by the maker, and they refuse to fix a problem that is still happening to this type of car.

Own a 2004 Mazda Rx8 and the clutch pedal assembly broke while driving. I have read of evidence online that would lead me to believe that this part is a defect by the manufacturer. I took my car to paul miller Ford and they told me the replacement of the clutch pedal assembly would be needed to drive the car as it was before this incident. The cost total is $440. 98 this seems ridiculous since I have read that it is impossible for the driver to exert too much force on the pedal. The resistance is determined by the clutch, not the driver. I think their are a lot of people who own Rx8's and experience this same problem. How can it be that with all the accounts of people that I have real online alone that a recall has not already been issued.

Taking off (smoothly) from a traffic light, I accelerate the car to 15 mph and being to shift in 2nd gear. As I depress the clutch pedal I heard a loud thud and realized that my clutch pedal had completely snapped off at the frame of the car. I was in city traffic with no way to shift the car back into gear (I had already pulled the gear shift out of first gear). I managed to coast the car to a parking lot but because of this failure of equipment - traffic was backed up for at least a 1/2 mile. 1. Event that lead to failure: normal operation 2: the failure: clutch pedal 3: the repair: new clutch pedal assembly.

I'm going in today for the third time because my ac continues to make a noise when the fan is blowing. I cant even begin to list all of the problems I've had with this car. Just to name a few I'm on my second engine, new brakes, battery and tires before 40k miles and I was told by three different shops that something is really wrong with the brakes but Mazda claims other wise. I've had a two new radiators and my driver window went out along with everything else from the visor falling off during the hot summer because it just melted. How does a "sun visor" melt. I've had the shifting paddles replaced because they just didn't work and I don't even really use them, the gas cap lock broke and I had to pry it open since the eject no longer worked. . . I think you get the point and I didn't even mention some of the bi items. I've never had so many problems with a car in my life. I cant wait until I can sell it or maybe ill get lucky and it will implode. It wouldn't surprise me at this point. This car is junk!!! I'm going back to Honda.

Sun visors repeatedly break and cause the visor to drop down and impair vision momentarily, then they wont stay in the up position. These cost about $200 each time to replace and then they break after about 10 times of use. I feel this is a safety issue and is a manufacturer defect.

I just bought a 2004 Mazda Rx8 and a piece of road debris hit my ac condenser causing all the freon to leak out. This happened due to the gaping hole in the front air dam of my vehicle. I live in southern texas where temps can climb well over 100 degrees. (higher inside the car) I worry my 3yr old son is at risk of heat stroke or worse from the temps. Mazda will not cover this in their warranty yet they do nothing to protect the highly vulnerable condenser, oil cooler, and radiator from being pelted from road debris. As a matter of fact the air dam is so poorly designed that it actually funnels rocks into the ac condenser itself. I am now worried that a piece of ã‚road debrisã‚쳜 may hit my oil cooler and spill oil all over the highway. That is definitely not considered safe under any circumstances. Many people online I have spoken to have had this same problem and the service person at the dealership stated, ã‚we see cars in here for this all the timeã‚쳜. The total repair cost is over 800$. Even having to pay my deductible is asking a lot for this type of ã‚malfunctionã‚쳜. Mazda advertises this car as a 4-door coupe and sells the car on its ã‚practicalityã‚쳜. How practical is it to have ã‚road debrisã‚쳜 destroy your ac a week after purchase? I purchased the car from ingram park auto center here in san antonio, TX. From a gentleman named juan leon. They were of no help in the matter.

A new Mazda RX-8 was purchased in the fall of 2003. There have been problems starting it in the cold weather. I received an email from Mazda that they are aware of the problem and it exists for anyone that lives in the northeast. Why wasn't this disclosed prior to being purchased> any idea what can be done to have the car returned and the money I gave them refunded? thanks in advance.
