1 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2017

Takata inflators: I received several recall notices (e. G. 16v-594, 13v425000, 11v134000, 09v043000) regarding my 2009 Mazda6 (1yvhp81a595m17242) and tracy Mazda conducted various repairs. During each repair, I mentioned the airbag inflator alert (see attachment). After service or repair was conducted, I was informed that the problem was reset or cleared by the mechanic. For a period of one week of commuting (home to work or vice versa), the inflator indicator disappeared. Then it returned, during short warm up, after driving a short distance, intermittently while driving on highways/freeways, etc. I returned the vehicle following the last recall/service-repair per receipts notation, I was informed that I have to pay $85 for diagnosis fee because the air inflator indicator is not a part of the foregoing problem. If indeed the necessary repairs were done right, should my vehicle airbag inflator indicator would indicate a warning? is resetting the airbag inflator indicator the "real" solution to the problem?.

Hello: there has been 2 recalls on my vehicle, both regarding airbag. The sas unit recall has been without a remedy since August 2016. The second recall regarding airbag inflator has been without a remedy since January 2017. For such serious safety recalls, I am disappointed that there has been no remedy for almost a year.

Takata inflators!!!!! it's been since may 2016 and I am unable to have anyone ride in my passenger seat. I'm a father and a husband who needs all the seats available in my car. Have talked to Mazda USA, the local dealership, etc. . . And no one has a clue when the problems will be fixed.
