5 Air Bag problem of the 2001 Mazda 626

Failure Date: 05/08/2009

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.
