Air Bag problem #1

The contact owns a 2021 Mazda Cx-5. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the vehicle was rear-ended by another vehicle driving approximately 40 - 50 mph. The contact stated that due to the crash, the driver's seat unexpectedly reclined, and the driver's head restraint detached and landed in the car seat in the rear seat. The contact also stated that the air bags failed to deploy during the crash. A police report was filed. The contact was transported to a local emergency room and was treated for a fractured right fibula and whiplash. The vehicle was towed to a service center for an insurance claim and inspection. The contact was concerned that the air bags did not deploy and stated that the failure could have resulted in more catastrophic injuries. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Air Bag problem #2

My 2021 Mazda Cx-5 has developed a persistent rattling/vibration noise from the a-pillar and upper corner of the windshield. The noise appears to originate from the windshield/a-pillar attachment area and may be related to improper adhesion, mounting, weatherstripping, or other components near the top of the windshield. I have found numerous similar owner reports involving Mazda Cx-5 and other fourth-generation Mazda models describing rattling, clicking, or vibration from the same windshield/a-pillar area. Because this issue appears to affect a significant number of vehicles, I believe NHTSA should investigate whether there is a common manufacturing or assembly defect and determine whether a manufacturer repair campaign or recall is warranted.

Air Bag problem #3

I was entering a traffic circle when I slid slightly as there was some ice on the roadway and came to rest against a curb, bumped lightly. There was no damage to the vehicle, but the entire driver side curtain airbags as well as the driver seat airbag deployed. The speed at which I was traveling was roughly 10 mph or less. My wheels never hit hard nor did they leave the pavement.

Air Bag problem #4

Its been few months its giving me air bag issue sign in my car.

Air Bag problem #5

I was driving as normal and the passenger side airbags deployed with a cause. I was driving about 25mph. I didn’t hit anything; no event occurred that would have caused the air bag to deploy. I took the car to a dealer and they recorded the event log which showed a crash but the car clearly did not get into an accident.
