Loss of power steering at random times.SRS light comes on and power steering locks up while driving. You have to pull over and turn the car off and restart it for it to work again. It's very scary not knowing when this will randomly happen as your driving down the road. It could cause an accident. I see where older models have been recalled for steering but not newer ones.

I have had my airbag light on my dashboard turn on. This is the third time it does that. I'm scared it's going to explode on me when I'm driving. Please let me know if there's a recall for the car I have. Driving with a scare feeling is not good.

The air bag light on control panel is flashing when I start the engine after a working day. No rhyme or reason at all. There is no any impaction from outside and/or going over bumpers. It comes in and out in the first day and two, and then it's stayed on and flashed the code 19, which according to the manual means restraint control module - memory full. So I took it to mazda dealership and diagnosed the issue at my expense. According to the dealer report, they cannot reset the computer module such as clean memory; instead, I am asked to replace the clock spring for fix the driver side air bag. However, in the meantime, all the controls on the steering are working perfectly, horn/cruse control/ volume control for the stereo.

The air bag light would start flashing and then disappear, but only to begin flashing again when the vehicle was in gear. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the vehicle but the flashing of the air bag light is distracting and is becoming a nuisance.
