| I have had to have the front brakes (due to tsb) repaired three times now. i bought the car with 4k miles and the brakes squeaked, the dealership repaired them and within 1 week they began to squeak again so i took it back and they cleaned & adjusted them. they started squeaking again i took to a different dealership and they replaced the rotors and pads again due to the backplate and pad was soaked with oil. | |||

| 2005 rx-8 leaking oil cooler line faults breaks car veered off the road onto right side grass under heavy breaking due to suddenly slowing traffic. normally, car breaks very well, linearly, and straight. after checking what caused this, i found the entire left underside sprayed with engine oil. oil came from rusted engine cooler lines located right next to the front left wheel well. about a 10 second engine run showed a stream of oil spraying towards the tire through a crack in the rusted cooling line. underbody, left front tire, and breaks were covered with oil. there was no collision only because the area where car was pulled off to the side had no obstacles. lucky me! car is obviously not drivable as engine oil is visibly leaking and breaks are compromised with greasy oil residue. apparently canada has a recall for these faulty cooling lines - | |||

| 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. *tr | |||
