3 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/24/2017

"takata recall" I just finally had my passenger side airbag repaired, after nearly a year of effort and two separate recalls. I was working with dgdg auto group, who own both capitol Mazda and steven's creek Mazda in san jose, CA. I have been trying to get this resolved since I received the first recall in 2016. I have been told that parts were not in stock, that I had to wait for the indicator light to change from flashing to solid or vice versa. Even the experience the last two days has be substandard, but I won't list the reasons for that. I just wanted to record my extreme frustration getting this glaring safety issue resolved. I love my Mazda, by dgdg are terrible.

9 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2013

The airbag indicator (malfunction) light turns on and off intermittently for over a year. My car is out of warranty so the dealer will not service it without an expensive fee. I fear for my families safety because if the airbag is not operating properly it will be a life threatening injury to my family. I am under the impression that certain parts on vehicles should be serviced for a longer period of time, seat belts and airbags!. Please investigate the matter and issue a recall.

4/23/12 - took car to dealership for airbag light that would continuously flash on dashboard whenever car was on.

Their description of service: "technician performed diagnostics using Mazda scan tool. Found code b1127 - passenger side airbag module high resistance. Checked for TSB s, found TSB 08-001/09 - coating on airbag terminals allowing oxidation-- replace module. Installed gs3l-57-ka0b: module (r) a/b side, replaced module per tsbp 08-001/09. Cleared code from pcm. " this time it cost me $453. 87!!!! I can't believe there hasn't been a recall on this yet!!! also in Jan. 2015, (92,000 miles) I walked out to my car one day, during the winter, to find my passenger side dashboard with a huge crack in it! it is also very sticky feeling. I haven't even looked into how much it's going to cost to repair this. After doing some more research I found out that allot of people are having problems with their dashboard and I think Mazda needs to get involved and fix this.
