2009 MAZDA MAZDA6 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V012000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (MAZDA MAPLE CHASE OF NEW JERSEY) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL THERE HAVE BEEN TWO RECALLS IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG OF MY CAR. THEY "FIXED" BOTH PROBLEMS BUT ARE STILL TELLING ME MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WON'T WORK IN AN ACCIDENT WITHOUT ME PAYING $500 FOR THEM TO REPLACE A THIRD PART OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. IT IS CLEAR TO ME THIS ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS FAULTY AND IF THEY ARE MESSING WITH THE LIVES OF THEIR CONSUMERS BY EXTORTING SAFETY FOR MONEY WHEN THEY KNOW THE FLAW IS IN THEIR OWN INSTALLATION/PARTS THEY ARE AN UNETHICAL BRAND. IT SEEMS MORE LIKELY THAT THEY ARE INSISTING ON THIS PURCHASE IN EXCHANGE FOR SAFETY SO THEY CAN MAKE BACK SOME OF THE MONEY THAT THE PREVIOUS RECALLS HAVE COST THEM. EITHER WAY, THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE WHATEVER ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS MIGHT BE DAMAGED DUE TO MAZDA. IT IS NOT FEASIBLE THAT THREE COMPONENTS OF MY PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG HAVE GONE WRONG IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS BUT THE ONLY TWO UNDER RECALL WERE NOT THE ISSUE. THEY ARE TELLING ME THE CURRENT ISSUE REQUIRES AN REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE AIR BAG MODULE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I JUST FINALLY HAD MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPAIRED, AFTER NEARLY A YEAR OF EFFORT AND TWO SEPARATE RECALLS. I WAS WORKING WITH DGDG AUTO GROUP, WHO OWN BOTH CAPITOL MAZDA AND STEVEN'S CREEK MAZDA IN SAN JOSE, CA. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED SINCE I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL IN 2016. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT PARTS WERE NOT IN STOCK, THAT I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE INDICATOR LIGHT TO CHANGE FROM FLASHING TO SOLID OR VICE VERSA. EVEN THE EXPERIENCE THE LAST TWO DAYS HAS BE SUBSTANDARD, BUT I WON'T LIST THE REASONS FOR THAT. I JUST WANTED TO RECORD MY EXTREME FRUSTRATION GETTING THIS GLARING SAFETY ISSUE RESOLVED. I LOVE MY MAZDA, BY DGDG ARE TERRIBLE.

TAKATA RECALL- MY MAZDA MAZDA6 -2009 VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT ON IN JANUARY 2015. I WAS INJURED WITH BURNS IN MY WRIST FROM THE AIRBAG. I ALSO HAD TO GO THROUGH PT TO REGAIN MOVEMENT TO MY INJURED WRIST. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AND ANOTHER CAR CUT OUT IN FRONT OF US AND HIT MY CAR. I WAS NOT CITED IN THE POLICE REPORT THE OTHER PARTY WAS.

NHTSA RECALL #:16V-594, MANUF RECALL #: 9816H THE SOPHISTICATED AIR BAG SENSOR (SAS) UNIT FAILURE. THE WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED SINCE MID YEAR OF 2016. IT WAS CONFIRMED BY MAZDA DEALERSHIP 03/08/2017 THAT IT WAS ON DUE TO RESULT OF SAS UNIT FAILURE (WHEN THEY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG RECALL). I WAS TOLD THE SAS MODULE WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR TIME FRAME AND TOLD NO DATE WAS AVAILABLE YET.

HELLO: THERE HAS BEEN 2 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, BOTH REGARDING AIRBAG. THE SAS UNIT RECALL HAS BEEN WITHOUT A REMEDY SINCE AUGUST 2016. THE SECOND RECALL REGARDING AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS BEEN WITHOUT A REMEDY SINCE JANUARY 2017. FOR SUCH SERIOUS SAFETY RECALLS, I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO REMEDY FOR ALMOST A YEAR.

THE FRONT ENGINE CRADLE/SUBFRAME, LOWER CONTROL ARMS IS RUSTED/CORRODED TO THE POINT THAT I WAS ADVISED CAR WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION AND THAT IF PARTS FAILED, ENGINE WOULD FALL UNDER CAR AND I COULD LOOSE ALL STEERING/BRAKES. PER REQUEST FROM MAZDA CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHO CONFIRMED EXTENT OF CORROSION. THIS CORROSION DID NOT HAPPEN IN AN INSTANT AFTER WARRANTY BUT STARTED AND CONTINUED TO WORSEN DURING WARRANTY PERIOD. ONLY SAW THIS WHEN NON-DEALER WAS PUTTING NEW TIRES ON CAR AND NOTED EXTENT OF CORROSION.
