Air Bag Problems of Mazda B-series Truck - part 1

This is a complaint about Mazda. I have brought my vehicle in 3 times, after they confirmed an appointment and stated they had the part. All three times it appears whoever makes the appointment doesn’t communicate with the dealer service center. I have the fourth appointment this Wednesday at royal motors, san francisco. I will call a day ahead to make sure the part is there before I bring it in. I know it’s an older vehicle and they have to order parts. They made the appointment for me, after saying the part was in. Bad communication. Sincerely yours, [xxx] , information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

1. Received notification in February 2024 of open takata inflator passenger airbag recall for inspection/replacement. 2. Contacted twice by online scheduler and twice by vm messages to service dept. Of only listed Mazda service dealer on the eastside of hawaii island in February 2024. Dealer refused to even respond. 3. Have made 5 phone contacts/contact communications on Mazda's recall website from 3/1 on. Last on 3/21. Received vm that no dealer on big island except for kona Mazda service dealer and would I drive my vehicle over and back for repair. --this is at least 100 miles each way, and if the shortest route is over the saddle road over the top of the island. Vehicle is older vehicle with 131,000 miles. No suggestion of payment for gas/time, or having it towed at Mazda expense; just that there is no dealer. Signed up in any spot but kona. I live in keaau, hi. 4. Upon receiving recall notice in February I turned off the passenger airbag and have allowed neither my wife or friend to ride with me. 5. I have given info. Over the phone and in contact me communications that Mazda could set up a contract for inspection/repair of passenger airbag inflator with big island motors, hilo, hi. 6. No follow-up by Mazda recall group or communications back to me except 3/6 vm from Mazda recall asking me if I would drive to kona Mazda dealer. (in subsequent communications I pointed out the facts of distance to kona Mazda dealer. I also requested communications back to me and updates. None, except 3/6 vm from Mazda recall center rep. Were done. ) I have been patient regarding this, but I view this takata inflator issue as a serious matter. That could harm passenger or since apparently it was installed incorrectly me as the driver. If Mazda cannot do what the recall notice states, then maybe they should arrange. And pay for a tow to the kona Mazda dealer and provide me a rental vehicle paid for by Mazda during the repair period.
