Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
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.
Mazda dealership said I need to replace the clock spring due to the air bag light being on.

Main airbag light on dashboard comes on. When turning a corner.
The airbag warning light came on. A certified mechanic diagnosed the problem as having to do with the steering wheel airbag system. Mazda was contacted and refused to do anything about it. The airbags will not deploy in case of an accident while the warning light is on.
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.
There is an issue with the rear brake light assembly, the red plastic assembly melted into the break light bulbs causing both rear brake lights to burn out. Currently, both assembly have holes where the red plastic melted, this is a potential fire hazard. There is an issue with the front passenger side engine mount, it has been replaced three times and continues to fail, might an engineering defect on the engine mount. Finally, dashboard airbag indicator has turned on unexpectedly and has remained on ever since, might be defective part in the SRS airbag system.
Dynamic stability control system malfunction. Drivers side air bag warning light illuminated on dash. Passenger air bag light is off.
The airbag warning light came on and stayed on (thus disabling the system). Took it to a garage who tested it and said that it is due to a faulty part in the steering column. I called mazda and they said they would do nothing about it. Airbags will not deploy in case of an accident until it is fixed.
