We have classified the 2 complaints from 2005 Mazda RX-8 about VISIBILITY into the following categories.
I went to move my drivers side sun-visor to block the sun and it split and partially came apart hitting my head and cutting my skin. more urgently, it blocked my view of the road and i had trouble moving it out of the way. for several long seconds, i was traveling 65 miles per hour, fighting with the visor, unable to rotate it out of the way because it was broken, with no forward view of the roadway. i was eventually able to move it to the side and hold it there with my left hand while i traveled to my destination. once i arrived i removed it with a screw driver. upon inspection of the passenger side visor, it is starting to split also. *tr
Driver side sun visor got cracked at the top of the seam and now always hangs down in drivers line of sight. *tr
The mazda rx-8 is having an issue that is coming up more frequently now from a faulty a/c switch or heating system failure. the heat does not come into the vehicle when the heat is turned on and only cold air comes into vehicle. the failure happens in the beginning only randomly until the unit completely fails. the a/c modular is a electronic switch that changes vents and a/c or heat. the vent mechanism still functions but the heat is never transferred into the vehicle. the consequences from this item failing, especially in the winter time, the windshield cannot be defrosted and driving down the road way human exhaustion will cause the window fog up impairing driver's vision. as well as cold temperatures within the vehicle that do not suffice while driving in cold weather. *tr
