Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problems of the 2010 Mazda MAZDA6

My Mazda was recalled due to air bag inflator that could explode resulting in sharp metal fragments striking the passenger or other vehicle occupants. When I called my Mazda dealer to get it in to be fixed I was told the parts are on back order at Mazda and they could not give me an eta on when they would get parts in. How can Mazda allow it's customers to continue driving their car with no recourse to give us a rental car in the meantime if they can't fix an issue that I would consider extremely serious and needing to be fixed immediately? my wife is pregnant and we have a toddler who rides in a carseat in the backseat and we now feel unsafe to drive our car. I would expect this matter to be taken much more seriously than it is. I'm very disappointed in Mazda and the way this recall is being handled.

Takata recall-we bought a Mazda 6 gran touring car in 2010, VIN# 1yvhz8cb3a5m47179. It currently has only 65,060 miles. On July 2016 we received a notice that Mazda corp. Decided that a passenger air bag inflator defect exists in our car and that there was a safety recall especially for cars in central florida because of consistent high humidity. In August we took the car to jenkins Mazda in ocala where we bought it. They said that they would try to expedite the replacement because it would be dangerous to drive. In September the replacement still had not come so they asked us to store the car with them. Our car was there at the jenkins Mazda car lot for more than 3 months. We did not use the car because we were afraid to drive it. Aaa came to the house and tested the battery and they concluded that because it was not used for several months the battery needed to be replaced. However, we noticed that the navigation screen was giving a message �a program cannot be read. Please consult dealer. � we called jenkins and they said comeback and while replacing the air bag part they would fix the navigation screen. On January 17 2017 the part was replaced, but they couldn't fix the navigation screen. They then said that they would talk to their service rep in jacksonville about it. On February 10 after trading many phone calls with the jenkins service mgr. In ocala, he said that after talking to his service rep in jacksonville the rep felt the screen is our responsibility and they wouldn't repair it but instead put a new one in for $5500. I feel that the whole situation started with Mazda's defective air bag and the car being unused and inactive for almost 4 months sitting on the jenkins Mazda lot in ocala. A new battery had to be installed because the car sat on their lot a long time larry & donnah ross (352) 233 1479 9541 se 124th loop, summerfield, FL 34491.

Takata inflators. We are a one car family and our Mazda airbag was slated to be repaired in November but we still haven't received any info when the parts are going to be available. We couldn't even take our car on our honeymoon in November of this year. I know of other companies such as Honda who are renting cars for there customers and Mazda isn't even reaching out to our family but they are still taking our monthly payment. I know we aren't the only family affected by this but this is taking way too long and inconveniencing us in a bad way. Please look into this. We are concerned and frustrated by the lack of answers.

There are two recalls open for my vehicle and for none there are no parts available in any dealer. My Mazda 6 2010 has a passenger air bag inflator recall and a melter dashboard recall. Both create safety hazards for me and my family yet the melted dashboard has been an issue for over two years and I am still awaiting from Mazda the second letter they promised to send me to take the vehicle to repair. The rubber or plastic that is melting is converting into a glue like substance that gets on my cloth seats and worst of all, in my windshield which causes glare and disrupts my vision. I end up having to remove it with other material that causes my windshield to become sticky. The material ends up in my steering wheel resulting in additional safety issues. I have tried to sell the car but no one will buy it in that condition. I have been patient for two years but at this point it is unreasonable the amount of time that I had to wait. I own another Mazda but fortunately it has not had similar issues. The situation is abusive and should have been resolved already. If Mazda cannot fix it in a timely manner they should be providing a replacement vehicle temporarily due to the safety concerns. I just contacted ocean Mazda in miami and the service dept. Confirms that they still do not have the parts for both recalls. It is insulting! I am sending an email flash to 21,000 + service providers that the company that I work for has in their data base so that they become aware of the issue and stay away from Mazda and their vehicles.
