Front Air Bag Sensor Control Problems of Mazda MAZDA3

My 2011 Mazda 3 driver seat has come off track while I was on the highway. I went to slide my seat back and the seat popped off the track, luckily I caught myself. Mazda dealership said they wouldnt cover it. Now, 3 weeks after my warranty ended, my passenger airbag sensor has lit up, on the dash and above the radio. Mazda said it was my sensor under my seat but still had to charge $105 dollar fee to find the problem??? the airbag sensor came on one morning on my way to work. Nobody was in the car except me.

Part 2 -(cont. ) complaint filed on 8/21/15 (arfc/NHTSA id 10750380) (denise from arfc ref 902722). Letters from my vehicle manufacturer providing necessary repair information etc. I am adding these complaints to my existing complaint, as during my initial diagnostic report, dated 8/24/15, I faxed and mailed to you, it states how my vehicle's air bag crash sensor is not working and is in the wrong position, which I had to decline to have fixed, as I am financially unavailable to pay for the repair cost. I feel this issue should also be addressed and covered as soon as possible due to the alarming above-mentioned e-mails I had received and believe that those issues are clearly related. And 3. (part 1) unknown/or other: as a result of having my power steering issue repaired (initial complaint), I was told after the repair by a mr. Carleton at liberty Mazda, wakefield, MA, that when my right directional signal is turned on, it now continuously clicks extremely fast (code b2899 rt directional - est for directional wiring to just start to locate the issue is listed on the submitted diagnostic report is $220. 00) but that it shouldn't effect me getting a new car inspection sticker or anything, so I had to decline fixing due to cost. (this issue is also included in the original diagnostic report as well, that I have faxed and mailed to you. ) I am also unable to afford to have this issue fixed as well, and for the fact that this problem did not exist at all before I originally brought my vehicle in to have the power steering fixed and this issue appeared after that, this should be covered in full and fixed by manufacturer; 3. (part 2. ) continuous issue beginning roughly 3-4 weeks of purchase (bought brand new, not used): clock in vehicle is set to the proper time, but will only last a month maybe at very most before it changes auto and displays a random time.

Immediately after my son had reclined the passenger seat all the way down and then back up to the proper height, the air bag seat belt light came on. I have readjusted the seat several times as well as attach and un attach the seat belts severals time, but the light is still illuminated. Please have the sensors recalled so that the air bags will function properly when involved in an accident.

The airbag sensor light came on and would not turn off. After taking the care to the dealer to be checked out we were informed that the sensor is under the cup holder and the sensor must have gotten wet, possibly from condensation. Because the sensor was damaged the airbags will not work according to the dealer. It seems very dangerous to place an airbag sensor, under a cupholder, that can be so easily damaged by drink condensation.

: the contact stated while stopped in traffic the vehicle was hit from behind pushing the contact into another vehicle. Most of the damage was done to the rear of the vehicle. The white powder from the air bag was released, however the air bags did not deploy. The seat belts were in use at the time. There were injuries sustained and a police report was filed. The crash zone sensor had been replaced by the dealership on 11-12-04, due to a recall letter received; NHTSA campaign id # 04v468000; air bags: frontal: sensor/control module. The contact is awaiting determination from the insurance company as to the extent of the damages done; therefore the dealership has not yet been contacted about a second recall repair.

I own a 2004 Mazda 3s, VIN # jm1bk323041188532. Previously, in the end of December 2005 I was hot from behind in cambridge. Ma. And incurred about 700 worth of damage. My care was repaired and I picked it up on Friday January 6th, 2006. Unfortunately, I was involved in a hit and run on Friday January 13th, 2006. Exactly a week from the day I picked up my car from the auto body shop. Anyway, I was traveling at a speed of 50 miles per hour when hit from behind, which put me in a spin of about 6 360 degrees. Then, I hit the concrete barrier with the front of my car and then bounced off and did another 5 360degree turns and then the back of my car hit the concrete barrier. Unfortunately, none of my air bags were deployed, however, I did have my seat belt on and have a sore neck and head. I am feeling better, but am concerned with the fact that the air bags did not deploy in this situation. There was a recall with the front air bag sensor for my model, but apparently, my car was manufactured on 05-13-04. The manufacturing dates the recall affected were from 6-24-03 - 3-22-04. My insurance company is not being cooperative when it comes to the air bags. They are not sure if they should of deployed, but are saying that they may not have. The speed I was traveling at and the level of impact leads me to say with a high degree of confidence that the air bags, side and front should have deployed upon the impact. Please help me, as I the manufacturer is extremely unwilling to help me or provide any specification or crash test results, etc. Best regards, michael j. Gregor 978. 473. 9265.

Involved in a head on collison on April 18 2005 air bags did not deploy have called and emails Mazda about this and they will not help me. The car was in the shop prior to the accident for the air bag lights flashing. I was traving at 25 to 30mph and the other car ( there fault ) was going about 20mph. I sufferd head, back, groin injurys. I very unhappy with the way Mazda is treating me on this!!!.

The advanced airbag system intermittently deactivates the passenger airbags when my wife is in the passenger seat. She is 5'0" and weighs 95 pounds. We purchased the car in part because of its safety features. We have brought the car in to the dealer twice, both times we were told it is simply the way the airbag sensor is designed, and that it is because her weight is right on the borderline for the sensor. Mazda corporate headquarters told us the same thing and told us that we could not have the sensor adjusted. My research tells me that my wife would be much safer in a crash with airbag protection, despite her small size. As it is now, it is unpredictable whether the airbag will be active or not at any given time -- it may go on when going up a hill and off when going down the hill. This seems obviously unsafe. I believe it is a design flaw and should be corrected.

While driving the (crs) light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. The driver was able to drive the vehicle to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic replaced an air bag sensor. One month later the sensor failed again which caused the crs light to illuminated. The dealer replaced it with a revised air bag sensor.

2006 Mazda 3 hatchback has a problem with the air bag light. The consumer stated when his 80lb wife was in the passenger seat, the air bag inactivation light illuminated sometimes. The consumer stated according to the owners manual, the passenger must keep both legs extended and sit up straight in order to keep the passenger air bag and pretensioner from being inactivate.
