Default SunVisors Breaking:

Last year while under warranty, my Sun Visor literally came apart and just flip flopped back and forth.Mazda replaced that one under warranty. Now the passenger sideSun Visor has done the same thing.I called the dealer and complained. Their answer was $118.00 each, no discount. This really is not good. Sun Visors should last the life of the car. Anyone else have the same problem????
Same thing with the Termperature control swith. +$300.00 each, no discount. Mine have broken on two of our old 626's and now my RX-8?????

This is a known problem with these cars. So is the AC logicon and clutch pedal.

The AC/heater control under the radio. The fan ***** are notorious for breaking and the unit itself is known for crapping out.

true, the heater took forever to heat up last year. do you happen to know what it cost to get it repaired?
