Recall on my RX8
Well boys.. I just found out today that my car has a recall on it.. Im new here as you all probably know, and I've been lurking around here for quite some time. I saw alot of trouble threads with the RX8's and it brought some concerns with my car. I finally cracked down today and called Courtesy Mazda and yes.. My car does have some faults..
The first thing they said was that my engine was not producing enough horse power, the second was that my side passenger airbags are faulty. So I made an appointment tomorrow to take it in and hopefully everything will be ok

I dont know, when I first bought it it was perfect.. it ran fine and there was no sign of trouble. But now I'm gonna be stuck with driving a rental for like 2 days.

So I did, and come to find out that my car was faulty.. So I suggest that you call your Mazda dealer, give them your VIN number and see whats up with your car.

What a descriptive post..
My concern is the recalls are MONTHS old by now. They were supposed to fix these cars prior to sale.

Hey! Only 30 minutes?? They told me they were going to keep my car over night and give me a rental. Are they going to do that "M" thing?

"I called Courtesy Mazda to complain about a rattling sound that occurs when I press the gas pedal."
This being my first rotary vehicle I'm not sure if what I'm about to say really applies, but isn't a "rattling sound that occurs when I press the gas pedal" a sign that the car is detonating? Of course it could be some other rattling sound, but I would be concerned if I heard rattling.
Best description I could give of detonating or "pinging" as its sometimes referred to is of marbles rattling around in a tin can.

DIE COURTESY MAZDA DIE.
Does your Rx-8 have the little ugly courtesy pyramid thing on the back? I was thinking about going down and test driving a car, pretending like I was going to buy it, and right as I went to sign doing something like "well I guess all thats left is to dot the Is and cross th--what the **** is that??? <tearing up papers> SCREW THIS Im out of here".
Do that enough times and maybe they'll get it through their thick skulls not to put those things on the back.
Also Courtesy Group is the worst in the Valley in general for just about everything.

I smell troll! "Recalls out the ***" is just a bit of hyperbole, dontcha think? The two (yes that's 2) recalls issued by Mazda to date were performed on my car in one day. Dropped off in the AM, picked up after work.
