My car isn't experiencing any issues, I just was making sure it was up to date. The recall in question is this one: MAZDA SPECIAL PROGRAM (MSP16) - ENGINE LACK OF POWER - PCM REFLASH Added 03/14/08

I just purchased an RX-8 and called the dealership to find out if there were any open recalls. The only open one was a recall about lack of power to the engine. The service rep said that they had a customer that had this recall done and he's now having problems with the car flooding ever since...

Looks like it was just the batteries! DOH

Just bought a used '07 RX-8 with 38k. I previously owned an '07 Speed6 and had similar issues with the advanced key...just picked up the car yesterday and the key was working fine until i tried to start it this morning. The ignition wouldn't turn and the red "KEY" indicator flashed on the...

Hey everyone, Longtime lurker here on these forums - I used to own an '07 speed6 GT and last year decided to lease a Sonata Turbo Limited. Amenities are nice in the Sonata, and the gas mileage (I thought) was going to be head and shoulders above the speed6. Turns out I was wrong, and I'm...

The battery and fuses are fine, i don't know about a bad ground somewhere. The funny thing is when i can't start the car, opening and closing the driver side door usually lets me start it on the next try...

Hi everyone, I don't know if anyone has run into this problem before, but i've had a random problem with my speed6 not starting. At first, i thought it was the advanced key, which the dealership replaced, it would randomly not work and for a while didn't work at all. While using the valet...

I bought my car a year ago, it has 15,000 miles on it, 5,500 of which was run on snow tires. The stock summer tires are completely shot. I called the Dealership, and they said the tires aren't covered under any factory warranty and call Bridgestone. The rep i talked to acknowledged that these...

I'm still getting really poor winter MPG. Last tank was 13.69 MPG, thats horrendous. I'm starting the car for about 5-10 minutes every morning or so, and its all city driving, but i'm beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with the car. Its not like i'm flooring it wherever i go either.

The car has only 5000 miles on it, and the tires are brand new. Granted, its a lot of start and stop driving, my commute to work is about 3-4 miles, but the gas mileage has been horrendous lately.

Hey guys, This is my first winter with a Speed6. I've got a set of 17" performance winter tires on the car. The past 2 tanks i've filled up have got 14 and 16 MPG respectively, which seems really poor. I am starting the car some mornings to warm up, but no longer than 10 minutes, at most its...

I paid $25,500 back in June - mine had around 100 miles on it. 07 GT.

I don't have a lot of mileage on this car (2500) - but still getting poor gas mileage in city driving. I've got from 17.5 - 18.5 MPG around town - and i'm not hammering on the gas all the time either. One thing that might contribute to the poor mileage is my commute to work is about 3-4...

Of the 3 symptoms, I do have the first one - rough start in cold conditions, and I did have one instance where the car stalled. This was after driving for about 4 hours in the pouring rain, it stalled twice upon starting, and I had to give it gas in order for the car to stay running. This only...

It doesn't last very long, maybe a minute or two at most. I wasn't sure if it had something to do with this TSB: http://www.allworldauto.com/tsbs/NHTSA__MAZDA_MAZDASPEED6_technical_service_bulletin_264756.html
