The airbag light on Dash comes on and goes off randomly then going on for 6 months. Obviously there's an open circuit in system that others have as well See a lot of others on here with the same problem over 100,000 miles

My air bag warning light is constantly on, sometimes it turns off but goes back on and stays on. This has been going on for a year now. I recieve email for mazda recalls. I notice that were two mazda recalls for air bags. Recall number 2304j-a crack in the air bag crash zone sensor housing and mada recall number 2504k-a crack in the solder connection attaching the acceleration sensor in the sas unit. I called mazda all they had to say that my VIN number shows no recall. Im afraid if I get into an accident my air bag will not work. This recall should cover my mazda. Please help, thank you.

My brake light housing is melted on both sides. The brake light bulb is melted into the brake light sockets on both the left and right brake lights. I noticed while driving in the city and cars were flagging me to tell me my brake lights are out. I pulled into a auto shop to check and both sides were melted. I had my car since 2013 and everything was original stock. My check engine light flashes and when I had it checked they said it may be faulty fuel pump, because that's the only code that shows and I already had everything replaced. My car very frequently stalls out (highways and city streets) even after replacing the fuel pump and o2 sensor. The passenger airbag light flickers frequently, with and without passengers.

I have an airbag light that came on. I took it to the dealer who did an estimate and told me a module in the driver side airbag in the steering wheel was no good and that a new airbag needed to be installed. They said until then non of my airbags would be working in the car. The cost was going to be between 1, 500-2, 000 to replace the part and reprogram the vehicle restraint control module. Due to the extreme cost, we chose to forgo the defective airbag replacement and have been driving our car for several years with no airbags working. It wasn't until the takata recall when it brought the issue to the forefront. It made me think that maybe this might be an issue happening in several mazda 3's. After some research I find that yes I am definitely not the only person with this issue. It would be nice to see something done considering the high cost of replacing an extremely expensive part that should not have gone out that early.
