The light for the air bags just started to flash on the panel - car only 8 years old & done around 50000 kms - have been told it is the module and needs replacing - also that the bags could either inflate without warning or may not work at all if car involved in an accident - therefore considered dangerous. Cost of approx au$1500. Should this really be happening in a car of this age. We feel it is a fault with the car and the module should be replaced as a 'car defect replacement'. Has anyone had any dealings with this problem before and if so what was the outcome. I feel we should not have to pay for this as it is definitely a manufacturing problem.

My daughter has a 1998 Mazda 626. She hit a tree head on at about 40 miles per hour and the air bag did not come out. We have had the car repaired and she is driving it now. It really concerns me that this is a dangerous car if she has a wreck that is worst that the one she already has.
