Steering problem #1

There are 2 recalls issued on my vehicle. One is the airbags and the other is the lower arm control. I have contacted Mazda 4 times and they tell me they do not have parts and don't have a time frame that I can come in and get these issues resolved. Both of these recalls are a safety concern for myself and my children.

Steering problem #2

The contact owned a 2012 Mazda Cx-7. While adjusting the heat and driving 20 mph, the vehicle veered inadvertently and crashed into a concrete wall. The air bags deployed. The contact sustained injuries to the lower back, neck, and chest area. Medical attention was required. A police report was filed. The dealer stated that the suspension system was damaged. The vehicle was destroyed and towed. The manufacturer was notified, but would not send a representative to inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Steering problem #3

Takata recall - how long does Mazda have to repair this as they keep saying that parts are not available? I live in florida where humidity is very high. Not being able to use the passenger seat is not ideal. What recall do I have and what can I do if its not safe to drive this car? there is also another recall for the steering on my vehicle and parts are not available per the Mazda website. What recall do I have on this? doesn't sound like car is very safe with both of these recalls.
