Before I received the recall notice I had taken the car in to star mazda an authorized dealer in glendale twice for the airbag light warning sign which had been lit up on the dashboard. Twice star mazda charged me $140.00 for diagnostics and couldn't find the problem with the light. After I received the notice I took the car in and after two hours they indicated that they replace the parts needed and it is a simple recall and its not so important. The airbag malfunction light is still lit on the dashboard and my regular mechanic stated that the airbag might not function on my car since the malfunction light is lit. Please advise. I have another mazda with the same problem and the dealer refuses to resolve the airbag warning sign which is on right after I turn on the vehicle. The other mazda VIN # is [xxx]. Please advise.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I've already make the airbag replacement in 16-march-2018 but I'm still receiving the notifications. There's been 1 year and a half since then and got like a hundred of notifications. I'm beginning to think that the dealer didn't do the replacement. Or maybe you haven't updated the database? I'm worried because the mazda dealer is telling me to ignore those notifications. I'm trying to contact you but there's no way to contact anybody in the federal safety agency. This is the 2nd time I file a complaint and there's no response. I think you aren't doing enough with this emergency. Email: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Mazda will not complete the takata airbag recall on our vehicle no matter how many times they are contacted. We have made at least 6 attempts to contact them, I think more, for nearly a year. Mazda reps have promised to get back to me, but we never hear more. They keep sending notice by mail, but they do not follow up after I call.
Tamara recall
' takata recall' it seems after having my car for 4 months I ran into issues. I was driving on a residential street when my car started making a strange whining noise and small plumes or white smoke began to come from the hood, near the pulley systems. I drove home approximately 4 miles away . I went to start it the next day and it won't start it seems to be the alternator.
While driving the wheel and steering became impossible to control. The car was only stopped by a wall on the highway. My husband was driving and had a heart attack during this incident with the car. The airbag on the drivers side was deployed.
Airbag light stays on and only goes off when car is shut off.
