2004 MAZDA RX8 User Comment / Complaint

I bought my rx8 in august of 2004. after the first 16000 miles i started experiencing problems with the car. it started out with chattering coming from the engine when the car was being accelerated. this was followed by a loss of power during acceleration. i first took the car to the dealer on 1/09/06. the dealer performed recall 3305g and told me this would take care of the problem. there was some improvement but loss of power was still occurring. in the morning of 4/17/06 car would not start. dealer was notified and car was towed for repair. dealer attributed problem to power train module (reflashing). on 5/23/06 car was again in the shop for the same problem, dealer performed computer changes. on 5/25/06 the car went back to the dealer for the same problem. this time the pcm module was removed and sent out for repair. on 6/19/06 car exhibited the same problems (vibration, stalling and loss of power). this time i informed the dealer that i needed the car fully repaired or replaced. i called mazda and started a complaint file (#107953120). car is still in the shop and i am driving a rental paid for by the dealer.
