24 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2015

I reviewed my past comp,ain't 10786122. I did call Mazda the manufacturer to comp,as. That the airbag had not been repaired and no parts are available August 2015. Your information is not correct as I did call Mazda August 2015. I was told by the corporate office to file a complaint,ain't with you and I did. I have file a complaint,ain't today and called Mazda today. I have asks that the car be replaced, repaired or refunded. I was told that they will contact th dealer. I hope that within the next week, the car is repaired. Clearly six months of waiting to have a dangerous car repaired is a violation of consumer rights. Why has your agency not followed up with me? what exactly do you do to help the consumers? the recall notice was July 2015.
