Thank you.  I sent him an email today.  Any updates on the status of this lawsuit?  

Sad but we purchased an 04 RX8 about a year and half ago and it has nothing but problems and after much belated research it seems more the norm for this particular model.  It has since had it's engine replaced which has not only cost us but has devalued the car...trade in is half of what it was prior.  Mazda should be held liable for this.  They have produced so many good cars yet this one by mechanics standards is well below anything and none of this was published  

Did you get anywhere with the class action lawsuit ?
I have a 2006 maxda rx8 which I bought brand new and they replaced the engine within the first $5k miles when I got my first oil change. No I am getting close to $80k miles and it turned off on me on the highway. Same issue.

I was told the issue was 2005 and earlier but obviously not if within $5k miles they replaced my motor and now I am fighting to get it done again. They tell you to go to the dealership but also the mechanics work off comission now and they want to charge you for diagnostic fees even thought there fully aware of the issues and get reports on it from Mazda. It's just totally unethical and by them knowing there putting everyone in danger that drives one along with anyone that hits us from behind when the car shuts off.
