What owners say

I start the car and remain parked. The airbag light flashes once, pauses, and then flashes six times. The airbag light in the instrument cluster continues to flash once followed by six more flashes. This problem continues every time the car is driven. Many owners have had the same problem. No airbag has been deployed and car has not been in an accident.

"takata recall" the red airbag light near the mileage has been blinking for two months now. The mazda dealer mechanics checked the wiring and said they don't know what is causing it to do that. Its starts blinking as soon as I turn my car on. The other airbag light near the dashboard with the clock display is still on as usual, not blinking.
