RX-8

  • 35,000 miles
Takata recall. My 2006 Mazda RX8 has had two recalls done on it. The 2nd owner had it done and afterwards a small crack started from one point where it was repaired. We had it done in gainesville again and brought it to their attention. They said they couldn't do anything except to buy a new dash. The cracks have continued to spread and I'm concerned that if the air bag inflates personal injury could be done to the passenger from parts of the dash exploding. I will not allow anyone to ride it the passengers seat because of this. This continues to get worse over time not on a certain day. We keep a sunshade in the window hoping that will slow it down but to now avail. This is a pleasure car and only as less than 36000 miles on it and it not abused.
