2007 MAZDA RX-8 Complaints

I HAVE A 2007 MAZDA RX-8 AND I WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED IN A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION, BUT MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT LATER ON IN THE BODY SHOP, THEY DID DEPLOY AFTER THE FACT WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THIS AND WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY. *JS

I BOUGHT MY 2007 MAZDA RX FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN 2007. I HAVE CALLED AND COMPLAINED TO MAZDA USA ABOUT THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGERS DASH CRACKING INTO THE SHAPE OF THE AIR BAG. ALSO, BOTH VISORS HAVE MELTED OFF THE CABLES. AGAIN, I HAVE CALLED BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT IT IS MY PROBLEM TO FIX. AFTER READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM, I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE IT'S SOMETHING THAT I'VE DONE WRONG. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 MAZDA RX-8 NEW FROM A MAZDA DEALER. I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTING CRACKING AROUND THE AREA WHERE THE AIR BAG IS LOCATED. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO OCEAN MAZDA AND TO MAZDA USA. NO ONE TOOK THE TIME TO CALL ME BACK. I AM VERY UPSET AND CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY WITHOUT WARNING SINCE THE DASH IS CRACKED OR WORST CASE SCENARIO THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY WHEN IN A COLLISION. THIS VERY IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH VERY LOW MILES AND SHOULD NOT HAVE A DASHBOARD THAT ONLY CRACKS AROUND THE PERFORATION LINES OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. *TR

I HAVE REACHED OUT TO OCEAN MAZDA AND TO MAZDA USA. NO ONE GOT BACK TO ME. I AM VERY CONCERN THAT THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY OR WORST CASE SCENARIO THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. THE CAR IS WELL MAINTAIN AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE DASHBOARD ONLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AROUND THE AIRBAG IS ALL CRACKED. *TR

COOLANT SENSOR IN THE COOLANT RESERVOIR TANK IS CONTINUOUSLY SHOWING A WARNING LIGHT. COOLANT LEVELS ARE FINE, OIL LEVELS ARE FINE. THE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT STILL SHOWS IN THE DASH. *JS *TR

THE POWER STEERING ON THE CAR STARTED TO REDUCE AND BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN WHEN JUST OFF OF CENTER. TURN FURTHER AND IT WILL REGAIN ITS POWER BACK TO CENTER. IT THEN WILL DO IT AGAIN WHEN YOU START ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT TURNING. *TR I AM AFRAID THAT IT MAY GO OUT COMPLETELY WHICH I HAVE HEARD HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER SIMILAR CARS. THIS NEEDS TO BE CHECKED AS IT CAN BE VERY SERIOUS AS IT CAN OCCUR AT ANY SPEEDS AND RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. THANKS

WHILE DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH, I NOTICED THE PEDAL WAS SOFTER THAN NORMAL, DID NOT ENGAGE, AND SAT VERY LOW, AND ONLY A FEW INCHES FROM THE FLOOR. AT THIS POINT, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS NO LONGER OPERATIVE. I COULD NOT ENGAGE ANY OF THE FORWARD OR REVERSE GEARS. UPON INSPECTION, THE CLUTCH PEDAL HAD CONSIDERABLE FORE AND AFT MOVEMENT, AS WELL AS EXCESSIVE LATERAL MOVEMENT. THE BRACKET HOLDING THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS NOT FULLY SECURE AND APPEARED TO BE BROKEN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 MAZDA RX-8/6 SPEED. I WAS IN 2ND GEAR SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR WHEN MY CLUTCH PEDAL BROKE OFF. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR IN GEAR AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I'M CURRENTLY RENTING A CAR AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME IT WILL BE AROUND 10 DAYS TO FIX IT. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT MY CLUTCH WAS DAMAGED AND THE DEALERSHIP WON'T REPLACE IT. OUT OF POCKET COSTS ARE AT 1,700.00$ RIGHT NOW. *TR
