TOOK CAR TO MAZDA FOR AIRBAG RECALL, REPLACED AIRBAG BUT MAZDA TELLS ME THE ACTUAL SENSOR THAT TELLS THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY DOES NOT WORK AND ITS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT. PRIOR TO THE RECALL THE SENSOR DID NOT COME UP ON THE DASH AFTER THE RECALL I NOW HAVE A LIGHT ON MY DASH AND MAZDA IS TELLING ME ITS 700.00 TO REPLACE FIX AND PART AND LABOR. ELECTRICAL CAR SHORTS OUT ALL THE TIME, WINDOWS, ENGINE, LIGHTS WORK ONE DAY NOT THE NEXT WHEN DOORS OPEN. CAR STALLS OUT WHEN DRIVING AND SYSTEM REBOOTS. OTHER ISSUE IS I HAVE SPENT 7 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REPAIRS ON THIS CAR. I HAVE BLACK SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPES, IVE REPLACED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN PARTS. ENGINE LIGHT WONT GO OFF. I TOOK IT FINALLY TO AUTO ZONE FOR A FREE ENGINE DIAGNOSIS TO GET A PRINT OUT AND NOW THE EMISSIONS VALVES ARE SHOWING FAULTY. ITS BURNING 2 QUARTS OF OIL ABOUT EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS/MONTHLY BASIS. IVE REPLACED MOTOR MOUNTS, COOLANT/OIL PARTS, AIR COMPRESSOR, HEADLIGHTS, BUMBER, WIPER BLADES, ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANELS, ROCKER ARMS, SPOILERS THAT HAVE CRACKED WITH WEATHER, THE CAR STILL NEEDS ANOTHER MOTOR MOUNT, I NOW HAVE A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE LIKE ITS THE LIFTERS AND I STILL HAVE ANOTHER YEAR ON THIS 5 YEAR LOAN ON THIS CAR. I HAVE TO KEEP ROLLING PAYMENTS TO THE BACK OF THE LOAN TO KEEP UP WITH THE REPAIRS. ITS VERY FRUSTRATING. IVE NEVER HAD THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH ANY CAR I HAVE PURCHASED EVER!!! EVEN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT MAZDA HAS SAID WHAT DO YOU EXPECT YOU PURCHASED A PLASTIC CAR ON WHEELS. IS THERE ANY OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS BESIDES MYSELF?

TAKATA RECALL - LIBERTY MAZDA IN WAKEFIELD MA - JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A MAZDA CX7 AND KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL. SCHEDULED SERVICE AND FOR THE RECALL AND TOOK CAR IN JULY 19TH - WHEN PICKED UP THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART (SCHEDULED 1 1/2 WEEKS IN ADVANCE) AND WE HAD TO WAIT FOR THE RECALL LETTER. CALLED MAZDA DIRECTLY WHO TOLD US THEY ONLY NEEDED THE VIN. MAZDA CONTACTED LIBERTY AND SPOKE TO ROB AND HAD THEM ORDER THE PART. SCHEDULED FOR AUG. 23RD. LIBERTY SAID THEY STILL DIDN'T HAVE THE PART AND THAT MAZDA (IN CA) ORDERED IT FROM THE WRONG WAREHOUSE (GA) SO IT MAY NOT BE IN UNTIL MAYBE SATURDAY. I CALLED MAZDA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALER WAS ORDERING THE PART. JUST CALLED LIBERTY MAZDA TODAY AND GOT THE SAME STORY THAT MAZDA (CA) WAS ORDERING THE PART AND THEY SAW AN INVOICE THERE BUT HAD NO IDEA WHEN IT WOULD BE IN. I FEEL THAT LIBERTY MAZDA IS GIVING US THE RUN AROUND. WE ALREADY BROUGHT THE CAR IN ONCE FOR THE RECALL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. NOW WE KEEP GETTING TOLD THAT A PART THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ORDERED ON AUG. 17TH MAY NOT BE IN UNTIL AFTER THE 27TH? NOT SURE HOW PARTS ARE SHIPPED BUT I CALLED ANOTHER LOCAL DEALER YESTERDAY (AUG 23) WHO SAID IF HE ORDERED THE PART THAT DAY HE SHOULD HAVE IT BY SATURDAY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET RESOLVED SINCE JULY 19TH!

RECALL 9716H (FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM) WAS SENT OUT IN OCTOBER 2016 AND 10 MONTHS LATER THERE IS NO SOLUTION OR ETA TO THE SOLUTION. IN THE INTERIM, WE ARE DRIVING A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE VEHICLE DURING DANGEROUS TIMES OF THE YEAR (WINTER). RECALL 1317F (AIR BAG INFLATOR) I WAS DENIED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT DUE TO A TECHNICIANS STRIKE AND OFFERED NO RECOURSE OR OPTIONS IN THE INTERIM. ANNOUNCED SAFETY ISSUES WHEN NO IMMEDIATE REPAIR IS AVAILABLE, SHOULD AT MINIMUM BE HAVE THE REQUIREMENT TO OFFER DRIVERS A SAFE AND COMPARABLE RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE A SOLUTION IS PUT INTO PLACE. WE ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE MAZDA HAS NOW ESSENTIALLY SAID "WE SOLD YOU AN UNSAFE CAR SO JUST KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL WE FIXING IT FITS INTO OUR SCHEDULE".
