"takata recall" my power stering goes out all the time doesnt matter if im sitting still or im going down the high way. It does eventually come back on but does go back off. It also will cause my stering wheel to jurk left and right by itself cause me to swerve in an out of lanes. It got to the point now where I have the power stering unplugged so that it doesnt jerk my wheel while driving. I just need to know if there is a recall that will pay to fix this cause its getting dangerous. Please contact back with any info.

Oil cooler coupling severely rotted to the point of failure (hoses looked fine just the coupling areas). Warranty will not cover parts and Mazda has recalled in canada (special service #76), which is 30 miles from my home but will not do anything to help me in the states. Repair cost is over $1300 for new lines.

Clutch bracket snapped while at stop sign. Unable to get car into gear.

The contact owns a 2004 Mazda RX-8. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the catalytic converter became inoperable. In addition, the vehicle stalled without warning but was able to be restarted. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnosis or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 61,000.

I was driving to work and as I was shifting gears I felt the car did not have any acceleration. The top speed I got to was 55mph. When I was about to get off the car, I saw smoke coming from under the hood and from inside where the shift know is located. I checked under the car for a possibly fire, and there it was. Apparently the catalytic converter had clogged up and that's what started the fire. Its not safe to drive around with a car that barely has 55,000 and already has problems like a fire. What if I the car caught in fire with my family inside. Cant imagine. I called an agency that told me the car had a safety recall, and had asked me if the dealer had provided with an inspection sticker which was not in the windshield. I wish I could have my down payment I gave back because I would not feel secure and safe driving a car (with my child and wife) with a car that turned on fire.
