    06 RX8, New Engine, Car turns off on idle

    So after I took my car to a rotary specialist, he found a code that popped up for the transmission. Since he doesn't do tranny work he recommended I go to like an Aamco to get a second opinion. I took my car to Aamco and they determined I need a tranny rebuild. That my problem has nothing to do...

    06 RX8, New Engine, Car turns off on idle

    Thank you. So yesterday and today I was determined to just suck it up and trade the car for something else. I've been at a couple different dealers and today I actually went back to the Mazda Dealer to see what kinda of deal I could get maybe on a Mazda 3. Wow, they were drooling over my car...

    06 RX8, New Engine, Car turns off on idle

    It never happened prior to the engine being replaced, like ever. It only started happening like ON the day I got my car back after the engine being replaced. So I took my car back, they had it for like 4 days and could NOT figure out what the problem was. They were able to duplicate the...

    06 RX8, New Engine, Car turns off on idle

    It actually has happened before after it has been idling for a few seconds. Not often, but like the very first time it happened I was at the stop light and didn't even realize it had turned off until I went to hit the gas. But I would say most times it's been immediately after I came to a...

    06 RX8, New Engine, Car turns off on idle

    Haha, you're right I have no idea what any of that means. As for any other symptoms, not really, I've been logging it every time it happens, the only real thing I can really say seems to be common is that when I've been driving fast and come to a quick stop, it's more likely to shut off when I...

    06 RX8, New Engine, Car turns off on idle

    I have a 2006 Mazda RX8 automatic, I'm the only owner. It currently has about 80K miles on it. Just last week I got it back from the shop, I had to have the infamous engine replaced because of the compression problem. To top it off, I also had to get a new radiator because when they took off my...

    Liftgate Stuck, Won't Open

    He took it to the dealer on Friday and they said it was some electrical piece on the latch that needed to be replaced, looks like it was faulty. Bad news is that it's going to likely take at least a week before they get the part, so no hatch until we do. Good news is that it looks like we won't...

    Liftgate Stuck, Won't Open

    There's a button? (lol2) Just kidding. Yea, I'm opening it as it's supposed to from the outside with the button, I mean for the first week and a half we've had the car, the back was opening fine other than our quesitons about unlocking. My husband is going to the dealer tomorrow because they...

    Liftgate Stuck, Won't Open

    You know what, yea when he tries to unlock the hatch the car is still running and I think he has the car in neutral with the foot on the brake. He tries using both the Smart Key and the door lock on his driver side door but neither of those things work. So that just might be the problem, next...

    Liftgate Stuck, Won't Open

    Me and my husband just bought a 2013 CX5 last week. So far the car itself is great, but we've been having one issue that has been incredibly frustrating, and that has been the rear liftgate. I just cannot seem to master the art of unlocking the thing! I read the manual, and I click the Smart Key...
