TAKATA RECALL - I AM STILL WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT AIR BAG FOR MY MAZDA 6. MY CAR WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL LAST SUMMER. IT'S BEEN 8 MONTHS NOW, AND THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING AND ADVISED ME THAT I SHOULD NOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED IT COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL ME. THIS RECALL IS REALLY PUTTING ME AT A DISADVANTAGE. I ONLY HAVE 1 CAR. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE, AND I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS CAR. NOT ONLY DO I NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY OWN CAR, MY SON HAS HIS DRIVING PERMIT, AND I'M NOT ABLE TO TEACH HIM HOW TO DRIVE BECAUSE I CAN'T USE THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO COMPENSATE THOSE OF US THAT ARE FORCED TO DEAL WITH A CAR RECALL WHICH IS CAUSING DISRUPTIONS TO OUR DAILY ROUTINE AND DELAYING BASIC LIFE LESSONS FROM OCCURRING LIKE STUDENT DRIVER'S EDUCATION.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS GO OUT AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR. SOMETIMES THEY WILL START WORKING AFTER HITTING THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR.

CURRENTLY, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT DASHBOARD FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY DASH BOARD IS MELTED. APPARENTLY IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT IN MY MODEL CAR. TWO YEARS AGO THE DEALERSHIP TOOK PICTURES, SENT IN THE CLAIM, AND I STARTED WAITING. SINCE THEN I HAVE RECEIVED AT LEAST TWO LETTERS TO UPDATE ME TO THE FACT THAT THE PART STILL IS NOT AVAILABLE. SO I CONTINUE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH A MELTED DASH BOARD, WHICH BY THE WAY IS A STICKY MESS. NOW, AS IF TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT MY PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. YET AGAIN, THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE AND I WILL SOMEDAY RECEIVE NOTIFICATION WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE. EVEN MORE OUTRAGEOUS IS THAT THE LETTER SAYS, "UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS PERFORMED, DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS BEEN MONTHS AND STILL NO LETTER CONCERNING THE PART BEING CORRECTED.

THE DASH OF MY CAR IS MELTING - A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE MAZDA 2011, AS WELL AS OTHER MAKES AND MODELS, THAT IS EXACERBATED BY THE HEAT. I LEAVE IN SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS, WHERE WE SEE A LOT OF HEAT. I CALLED OUR MAZDA DEALERSHIP TO ASK WHAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. THEY SAID TO JUST WAIT UNTIL MAZDA ISSUES A RECALL. IN ADDITION, THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD THESE PARTS ON ORDER SINCE DECEMBER AND STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN THEM IN. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED AND REPAIRS NEED TO BE MADE. THE DASH BECOMES STICKY AND SHINY, WHICH IN TURN REFLECTS LIGHT UP ON TO THE WINDSHIELD. VISIBILITY IS THEN CUT DRASTICALLY TRYING TO SEE THROUGH THE REFLECTION FROM THE DASH.
