First of all I am happy that the car done it job in protecting my daughter during a crash with roll over of three times. The reason I'm here is to share my concern with the air bags not deploying during the crash. The crash was a very heavy impact on the passenger side of car and the driver side also had a big impact. No air bags deployed. I feel at least the side curtains would have . I have many pictures of the car and it done its job by protecting the driver compartment. I would really hope that there is nothing wrong with the air bags. On 5-16-15 I had a oil change at my local dealer and they repaired the recall for the driver air bag regulator. Could something set wrong to keep the air bags from deploying? my daughter really wants another Mazda since she walked away without any injuries but I'm scared the next Mazda air bags might not go off when she really needs them. Again I hope this is to help the next person daughter and they can be so lucky as I was to have my daughter.

All of a sudden our car started making a horrific sound, especially when accelerating. We took it to a mechanic who had to replace the timing chain kit and tensioner assemblies. Doing simple online searches for this problem, this appears to be a major issue with a lot of Mazda vehicles, yet still there has not been a recall covering this issue.
