Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problems of the 2007 Mazda MAZDA6

Takata recall, over a year ago I did have a airbag recall for my inflator , which was for my Mazda 6 2007, I did have one of them replaced, not sure if it was the passenger side or the driver side now, but only one was replaced at the time because that was all that was recalled at that time, the dealer told me I would have to wait for the other side to be recall, so what if I had a accident in the meantime? the other airbag wouldn't work, because it hadn't been replaced? not very good! the dealer didn't seem to thrilled with the whole inflator recall thing and didn't have very good things to say about it, which made me worry about if the darn thing would work at all! well not too long after I got the second recall note for the other side inflator to be fixed I was in a car accident! great! well, I was hit from behind at 70mph, the car was hit on the right side and I was thrown into a spin, now, I was not hit in the front, nor did I actually hit dead on in the front of anything! but my windshield was cracked. My right side airbag did deploy and save me from a massive head injury! the car did as it was designed to do in a backend collision, it folded up, the back end took the blunt of the 70mph force, and saved me! I walked out of the car! but the car was totaled! my only question and it was a question of a few other people. . . Was why did not the front end air bad deploy? was it not supposed to? because it had not been it hit hard enough? or because it needed to be replaced? not sure? all I can say is that thank goodness in a way I got hit from behind and not in the front, because I am not so sure if I could of depended on the front airbags working correctly! so my accident may have had a totally different outcome!.

2007 Mazda6. Consumer writes in regards to contacted dealership several times about driver airbag inflator recall replacement parts, but parts still not available. *m.

I received a recall notice on February 17 that the air bag inflator needs to be replaced because it is among the millions of takata air bags that could explode into shrapnel and injure or kill the driver, two months later, I'm still waiting for parts to come, and Mazda says it has no idea how soon parts will be available. This leaves me driving a car that is potentially dangerous -- even fatal. Worse, we want to sell this car, which leaves me with two options: don't tell prospective buyers about the recall, which puts them at risk because of a sin of omission on my part,or go ahead and tell them about the air bag issue and greatly diminish my chances of selling the car (and/or reduce the value). I guess my best option is to keep my mouth shit and sell the car to a dealer because they are not required by law to disclose that there are unfixed safety recalls on used vehicles. Anyone buying a used car should keep this in mind and check to see if there any open recalls.

Upset - called Mazda months ago regarding the driver's air bag inflator recall and was told vehicle was not part of the recall. This is a car that my daughter and 4 year old grandson drive around in. Now yesterday I receive in the mail (car registered in my name) recall notice for this car - air bag. I called both Mazda dealers in my area and neither one of them have the parts to fix this recall. This whole situation is very upsetting. I cannot believe given the serious implications of a possible deployment we have had to wait so long to get notification and the dealers do not have the parts !!!.

Takata recall I believe- received Feb 2015 driver bag inflator replacement-safety recall-no parts available received July 2015 driver air bag inflator interim repair-no parts available 5+ months is excessive time to wait for parts.
