1996 MAZDA B-SERIES TRUCK Complaints

WHILE TRYING TO MOVE FROM A PARKED POSITION, INNER TIE RODS BROKE OFF AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. DEALER CAN'T FIND THE REASON FOR THIS. *AK

I HAVE TRIED FOR OVER A YEAR TO GET MY PASSENGER AIRBAG EITHER INSTALLED WITH A SWITCH OR SIMPLY HAVE IT DISCONNECTED. MAZDA SIMPLY WILL NOT PROVIDE SATISFACTORY SERVICE. MY ORIGINAL DEALER IS GONE AND NOW I HAVE BILL ROGER'S MAZDA IN ALBANY OREGON. I CALLED LOCALLY, CALLED HQ, WROTE A LETTER AND WAS TOLD I COULD BUY A BRAND NEW MIATA. IF I HAD WANTED A MIATA, I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I HAVE A ONE-YEAR OLD GRANDSON I WILL NOT PLACE IN DANGER. CAN I USE THE SAME CERTIFICATION TO HAVE IT DISCONNECTED BY SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN MAZDA? DO I HAVE TO SELL THE TRUCK TO GET THIS RESOLVED? OR DO I SIMPLY HIT THE DARN THING WITH A BASEBALL BAT TO GET IT TO DEPLOY? I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS. PLEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU. *AK
