The red airbag sign on the dashboard, at first would come on and off sporadically, but now it's on everytime I operate the vehicle, indicating that the airbags will either not deploy or deploy incorrectly. I've discussed this issue with many other Mazda 3 owners and it is a well known and prevalent issue. It is not related to any event, other than normal driving and operation.
On February 15, 2015. I was involved in a minor car accident with my girlfriend. My left rear door was hit but the air bags did not deployed. I though nothing of it because I though the impact needed to be harder. This was my first car accident. Today on September 5, 2015 around 2:20pm, I was involved in another car accident with my girlfriend. I was at a complete stop waiting for some vehicles to turn. 5 seconds later, I was hit from the back. The impact was very hard sending my girlfriend and I to the hospital. I had the same resort with the air bags not deploying. Lucky for me, I always wear my seatbelt because if I have not. I would of been more seriously hurt or dead.
Drove over some bumps and my airbag light on my dashboard came on. It has not turned off since. With the light on, my airbags will not deploy in a crash.
I drive a 2005 Mazda Mazda3 sp23i, four-door sedan. A few months ago, while parked in the street, my son had reclined the passenger seat all the way back and when I asked him to return it into the upright position, a red warning light illuminated on my dashboard. The warning light has never gone off since and I am fearful that the airbag will not deploy in case of an accident.
We were in a few accidents and the airbag never deployed and the transmission is not functioning properly after an oil change the car does not stay in park we must use the emergency brake and cannot turn off the car because when we turn it off the gear will not shift to drive and as we drive the car the car will turn off right there. Seatbelt stopped working on driver side.

When driving water entered a sensor, which caused a short circuit and illuminated the air bag warning light. The airbag will not deploy when in certain types of frontal crashes which increases the risk of death or serious injury to the driver and front seat passenger.
