2008 Mazda CX-9 Air Bags & Restraints Problems

TAKATA RECALL - I'M ADVISED THAT AIR BAGS HAD TO CHANGE BECAUSE ARE DEFECTS, ALL.

THE AIRBAGS WARNING LIGHT JUST CAME ON A COUPLE DAYS FOR MY CAR AND I TOOK IT THE MAZDA DEALER TO DIAGNOSE AND THEY SAID THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND THE SAS MODULE NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT WARRANTY SAFETY IS ONLY UP TO 60000 MILES. MY CAR HAS 76998 MILES. BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MAZDA HAS LOTS PROBLEM WITH AIRBAGS RECALLS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 MAZDA CX-9. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE CONTACT SAW A RACCOON AND VEERED OFF THE ROAD CAUSING THE CONTACT TO HIT A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITH EXTREME FORCE CAUSING THE CONTACT TO HAVE A MIGRAINE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CHEST CONTUSION AND RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND WAS TOWED TO A JUNKYARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS RELATING THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V035000 (AIR BAGS). OAK LAWN MAZDA (6750 W 95TH ST, OAK LAWN, IL 60453) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED PRIOR TO THE CONTACT OWNING THE VEHICLE AND THAT THEY COULD NOT FURTHER ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAD IN JULY 2016, AND HAVE MADE THREE ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE, EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. IN AUGUST 2017, I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FOR THE "FINAL REPAIR USING A MODIFIED INFLATOR...". I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH THE RESPONSE I'VE RECEIVED AND WILL TRY AGAIN, HOWEVER I DON'T THINK A YEAR LONG WAIT FOR AN AIR BAG REPLACEMENT IS REASONABLE OR ACCEPTABLE.

IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER, 2017 - OVER 6 MONTHS LATER - THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE, WE ARE STILL HAVING TO USE A POTENTIALLY DEADLY DEFECTIVE AUTOMOBILE BUT ONLY PART OF THE VEHICLE SINCE WE CANNOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, AND MAZDA HAS NOT OFFERED A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. WE CANNOT EVEN SELL THE CAR FOR FAIR VALUE DO TO THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL AND AT THIS TIME, UN-REPAIRABLE, DEFECT. THE LAST RECALL NOTICE (1317F) INSTRUCTED US TO NOTIFY THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE NHTSA IF MAZDA DID NOT REPAIR THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.
