Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
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.
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.
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.
