What owners say
The driver air bag light on the instrument panel has been illuminated since 2004, repair had been attempted several times but has failed. A bulletin has been sent by the manufacture to the dealership regarding steering wheel airbag light being illuminated giving a false warning, due to defective electrical wiring that cannot be repaired.

Takata recall my seat belts do not tighten and my airbag light was fixed but is now on again I've been told that my airbag and seatbelt will probably not work properly and my locks are also not working properly. I paid $300 the first time to fix the airbag light and driver side seat belt. It was only fixed for about 3 months and now the light is on again and I have to keep children out of the passenger side back seat because that seat belt does not tension properly
"takata recall" I had an airbag failure after hitting a deer at 65 miles per hour on the hwy. The charge in the airbag went off but the air bag did not deploy. The airbag light remains on. I need this fixed!
Airbag light illuminated. Took it to the dealer scanned code b00a0, ocs malfunction. Said I had to replace entire passenger seat cushion at roughly $3500.found that this unaffordably mandatory problem occurs in many mazdas, among other vehicles. The car has never been in an accident, the bags have never been deployed. The car is less than 10 years old. Meanwhile the system may not deployed when called upon and I am unable to get a safety check or register the car
Last night 01/11/2018, I was driving home and my airbag light came on. This morning my gas pedal was sticking, and it was hard to drive/go. Once I reached the main street, it was hard to accelerate. Now the airbag light won't go off.
Air bag warning light in the instrument cluster stays on at all times
