| Air Bag problems |
My vehicle was damaged by an as yet determined electrical fire seemingly having originated in the passenger door speaker components.
My air bag light warning light is constantly blinking and I took it to the dealer ship. I informed the service guy this could be a malfunction due to a recall. He only asked me to pay for an diagnostic for $175. 00. I think based on a history dated from 2004-2018 regarding air bags recalls this is a recall. I contacted Mazda 1-800-222-5500 option 11/28/2023 @ 10:00 am I reported this to Mazda vehicle claim#00156086 and they are stating it is no recall for that vehicle. I think this is a safety risk for me and Mazda needs to address this at no charge based on the history of several vehicles.
The contact owns a 2019 Mazda cx5. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65 mph the "air bag" warning illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, however the contact was not informed what the diagnoses was about and if the air bag had been replaced or repaired. The contact stated that the "air bag" warning light was no longer illuminated. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.
Wife was 30 weeks pregnant when airbag fault displayed. Was in fact a defective driver side airbag.
Tuesday, 5/3, I was parking my car in the new leaf grocery parking lot in aptos, CA. I pulled into the lot and made slow right into an available space. I had my foot on the accelerator, tapped down on it gently to ease into the space. My car lurched forward at such high speed that I was unable to remove my foot from the accelerator. I swerved to the right as the car went over a partition and hit another parked car on the other side of the partition. My airbag did not activate. I've replayed the experience in my mind and tried convincing myself that this could have been a matter of human error on my part. I am beyond convinced that what I experienced yesterday was a case of sudden unintended acceleration. I am concerned and afraid to drive my car now. Had circumstances been different, someone could have been killed. Had I not swerved right, I was headed to crash into a building. I called 911 and since no one was hurt there was no police report. To address questions set-out above: speed control (sudden unintended acceleration) and air bag failed my safety and the safety of others was put at risk as of yet the problem has not been reproduced however there are a great number of reports related to unintended acceleration (however not acknowledged as a problem by Mazda) I plan to have my Mazda inspected by a local dealership service center there were no warning messages or symptoms in advance of the incident occurring I've owned my Mazda for 3 years and never experienced anything like this. I have never had a car accident to date.
The "passenger air bag is not active for passenger' warning light was constanstly showing in the dash panel even when nobody was sitting in the passenger seat nor any object was sitting on the seat. The problem was "solved" by the dealer under the car's warranty. They said something about dirty contacts in the seat wiring. Now the warning light is back and my SUV's warranty period is over.
