Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mazda cx-7. Upon starting the vehicle, the air bag warning indicator illuminated, which was a safety concern. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 66,125.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 mazda cx-7. The contact stated that the vehicle was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v018000 (air bags). The contact called the manufacturer more than twice and confirmed that the part was unavailable. A dealer was not contacted because the manufacturer had not provided the part for the repair. In addition, the vehicle was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v593000 (suspension). The manufacturer was contacted for a referral for an authorized dealer to schedule the two recall repairs. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Takata recall I haven't had an accident, but am very worried that if I do the air bag may explode. Since my vehicle is a 2010, how long does mazda have to repair this vehicle?
Takata recall was denied replacement after dropping car off at dealership where I had purchased the car new. Car has 85,000 miles. I was called back from dealership service dept telling me that they cannot perform 1317f or 9516e, air bag replacement due to my airbag light being on. Airbag light was not on when dropping vehicle off and not on when picking up vehicle. I notified service adviser that there was no airbag light on before driving away but he said there was nothing he could do saying that the refusal came from corporate. Now if my family were to get injured or killed by this defective airbag after refusal by the dealer, I could have a strong case against them I think. But I would rather have a safe car. Service had offered doing an airbag diagnostic at a charge of $140.00. Not knowing what the other charges might be to fix light ($1000 computer) and not knowing how accurate the diagnostic will be I was forced to deny the diagnostics.
Takata recall, I have contacted the mazda dealership in ridgeland ms over a year ago and have yet to get my car in for the airbag replacement and this is for the replace of the lower control arms, it has been over a year and the parts are still not available for replacement.
1) we received notification of the recall when we purchased the used vehicle on 7/8/2017. The manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner. The safety risk associated with this recall is the vehicle may experience significant loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The airbag light has been on for past year. The dealership said they can make it turn off but I'm assuming since the light is on my airbag is disabled and won't work when and if it needs to.
