I have a 2007 Mazda RX-8 and I was recently involved in a side impact collision, but my airbags did not deploy, but later on in the body shop, they did deploy after the fact while it was being driven. There is an obvious safety issue related to this and why the airbag did not deploy properly.

I purchased a 2007 Mazda RX-8. I started noticing that the dashboard of the passenger side starting cracking around the area where the air bag is located. I have reached out to ocean Mazda and to Mazda USA. No one got back to me. I am very concern that the air bag may deploy or worst case scenario that the air bag will not deploy when in a head on collision. The car is well maintain and there is no reason why the dashboard only on the passenger side around the airbag is all cracked.

I am very upset and concerned that the air bag may deploy without warning since the dask is cracked or worst case scenario that the air bag will not deploy correctly when in a collision. This very is in great condition with very low miles and should not have a dashboard that only cracks around the perforation lines of the passenger side airbag.
