What owners say
Airbag light has come one and stays on. There are numerous complaints and discussion of this issue.
Like the mazda 6 for 2008, my son's mazda 3 2006 had the same problem with the air bag light not turning off. A mazda dealer told him it would cost $400 to fix and the were no guarantees it would be fixed. He had it fixed by a certified mechanic who offered a guarantee. I paid for it and I think it should be recalled like the mazda 6, as it it a matter of serious safety.
Air bag indicator light remains on , the dashboard, making one believe that there is a problem with the system. There was a similar problem with this in florida cars...it now seems to be a more wide spread problem in all areas of the country.
This is what I wrote to mazda regarding my airbags: the reason I'm contacting you is because I recently heard in the news that you were recalling many cars for faulty airbags for warm weather climates in florida and puerto rico. I tried looking at the recall information on your website but it does not work. That webpage is blank when you hit the link. The reason I'm writing is to see if my car is part of the recall as well. Two weeks ago my airbag light turned on. I live in florida as well. My car is only from 2006 and only 8 years old. I don't believe my cars airbag should be faulty and not working properly at the present age of my car. Can you please advise and let me know about this? I'm really concern about my airbags not working properly. If you need any additional information on my car, please let me know and I'll send it right away. Thank you for your time. This is the response I received from mazda: thank you for taking the time to contact mazda. Due to a proactive, preventative investigation by mazda and the federal safety agency, mazda will conduct a special service program (ssp96) to replace certain air bag inflators on some vehicles originally sold or registered in florida, hawaii, and puerto rico. The driver and/or front passenger frontal airbags may not deploy properly in the event of an accident. The purpose of this ssp is to collect the air bag inflators in order to investigate them and the limited affected areas for this program were defined by the federal safety agency based on their investigation thus far. You will receive notification in the mail with instructions on how to proceed should mazda determine that your vehicle is affected by this concern. Should you have additional questions or feedback, please contact me at the number below and reference your service request number.

Air bag light has gone off and on since oct 2012. Now it stays on all the time.
Airbag light has come one and stays on. I called mazda and have an incident report. This is a common issue and per mazda, until they receive enough complaints, they will not recall, hence why I am filing this complaint.
1. Manufacturing defect? 2. Front air bag crash sensor intermittent (open circuit error). Causing airbag light cluster to illuminate. When illuminated airbags will not deploy in the event of a crash. 3. Replaced front crash sensor.
