2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2024

The dashboard of my 2012 Mazda 3 has separated from the instrument panel causing a gap between them. The dashboard has become very sticky leaving a black sticky film on the surface. This has caused a glare on the windshield making it hard to see at times while driving. There is a letter dated may 2017 from Mazda, special service program (ssp) a9. The letter states that the warranty was extended 7 years (84 months) from the original warranty start date or April 30, 2018, whichever is later, with no milage limitation. As I read it, 7 years of 84 months from 2018 should extend the warranty for repair of replacement through 2025. Mazda refuses to make repairs, or replacement of this equipment that has an impact on the proper function of the airbag system and impairs the driver's vision because of the constant windshield glare. This is an issue. That needs to be addressed as an important safety.

3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/24/2021

Passenger airbag off flashing intermittently while driving on roadway.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2017

Takata recall is there a recall on my vehicle. The local dealer said there is not. Don't know how he could know that as he did not ask for the VIN. So far there have not been any airbag problems but I have not had an accident. If you call, you must include before the phone number. If you don't, my phone may say the phone is disconnected. Too many sales calls.

5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/10/2017

Takata recall I am trying to see if my 2012 Mazda 3 hatchback is part of the takata airbag recall. So far all I have received is a notice that I may be eligible to take part in a class action suit in florida.
