The federal safety agency recall #16v‑593 - this recall indicates that there is the risk of significant loss of steering control increasing the risk of a crash. This recall is taking an inordinate amount of time, and I think that it is imperative that this be expedited in order to replace the part before it becomes a more severe issue which could include litigation. The steering control is a vital part of the operation of this vehicle and I don't think that it is feasible or fair to the owners of mazda vehicles to be placed in such a precarious situation. This issue needs to be escalated so that existing owners of these vehicles can get the replacement parts that are needed as soon as possible. My vehicle is beginning to experience some of these steering issues, and I keep my car properly maintained , but the expense of the replacement of these control arms at this time is a difficult expense. Please help me to have this issue escalated.

Mazda recall #: 9716h (the federal safety agency recall #: 16v‑593) this recall is dated 8/10/16. From mazda's recall notice, "the ball joint and lower control arm may separate, causing a loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash." so almost a year and nothing....recall still "remedy not available"????? What are they waiting on? Seems extremely irresponsible/greedy (do not want to incur the cost)

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 mazda cx-7. The contact stated that the steering wheel was tight and difficult to turn left or right. In addition, the air bag warning light illuminated. The dealer (shortline mazda,90 havana st, aurora, co 80010, (303) 364-2200 ) was contacted and they indicated that the part needed was not available for the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v356000 (air bags). The vehicle was also included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v593000 (suspension) and the dealer made no mention of that recall and when the parts and remedy may be provided from the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and the contact was waiting to determine if they may be able to supply a solution to the dealer for the failures as well as the remedy and parts for the two recall repairs. The vehicle was last left at the dealers due to the steering wheel failure and the air bag warning light remaining illuminated. The failure mileage was not available. Vin tool confirms parts not available.

My vehicle was recalled exactly 10 months ago under mazda # 9716h, the federal safety agency # 16v593000. This is a safety related recall, as steering control may be lost. After 10 months, parts are still not available. I am putting my family at risk every time we travel in this vehicle. How can a car be recalled as a safety risk and no parts available for almost a year? What are the federal safety agency and mazda doing about this? If my car loses steering and an accident results, who is responsible?

Takata recall I was notified by mazda of the federal safety agency recall number's 17v‑012 and 16v‑593 (manufacture recall number 0717a and 9716h), informing me how I may experience significant loss of steering that may result in a crash, plus I was advised not to ever have a passenger in my vehicle in the event of a crash as metal fragments from the passenger airbag could cause serious injury or death. It has been nearly a year since the first notice and nearly 6 months since the second notice, yet nothing has been done. Mazda says parts are not available. Nothing injurious has happened, my complaint is how mazda seems to not be doing anything about this and I risk my life and others with every drive I must make.

Takata recall: passenger side airbag light comes on intermittently and sometimes stays on or blinks. While driving the vehicle at 60 MPH it swerved without warning to the right causing the passenger side tires to fall off the shoulder of the highway and nearly resulting in loss of control.

Mazda hasn't been able to make recall parts available in a timely manner resulting in my lower control arm/ball joint to break away from my tire causing me to loose steering while turning. Also being broke down on railroad tracks and needed to get my car and myself to safety. My car had to be lifted with equipment to be moved resulting in both left and right front fender damage! This is very inconsiderate and poor business manner!!!
