2008 mazda 3 was struck while parked. Months later air bag light came on and repeatedly went to the local mazda dealership about the issue. Last encounter with dealership(oct 2014), they checked the air bag and concluded it was not a recall issue, and stated the problem stems from auto accident. Complained to my insurance co and re-opened claim. The insurance company(nov 2014) concluded from where the car was impacted on the rear passenger side, the air bag is not their issue and did not stem from cause of impact. Air bag module needs to be investigated and addressed with mazda co. With all these developments with faulty air bags made by takata(company whom make airbags), something is totally wrong. This is a safety issue, that needs to be taken care of.
