THIS TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL IS TAKING TO LONG. THERE IS NO REMEDY....NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL. AND THE FACT I CAN'T HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY FRONT SEAT PUTS A BURDEN ON ME. IF I OWED MAZDA CORP. MONEY FOR MY CAR....IT WOULD BE REPOSSESSED REAL QUICK...WHY CAN'T A REMEDY FOR THE AIRBAGS BE AS QUICK. HOW MANY MORE DEATHS HAVE TO HAPPEN?!?

I HAVE REPLACED THE LOW BEAM BULBS 2 TIMES SINCE I GOT THE CAR 2/2014. IT'S CRAZY CAUSE ONCE GOT OUT .THEN YOU CAN HIT IT AND IT WON'T COME BACK ON ONLY FOR LIKE A WEEK OR SO THEN THE OTHER SIDE GOES OUT NOW I'M DRIVING AROUND TOWN WITH NO HEADLIGHTS ONLY GOT HIGH BEAMS SOUNDS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS ABOUT TO GO OUT REPLACE THE BRAKES 2 TIMES ALREADY SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR JUST TERRIBLE

ON SUNDAY, APRIL 9, 2017, WHILE DRIVING IN ARIZONA ON I-10 EASTBOUND NEAR THE CHANDLER EXIT OF WARNER. MY WIFE AND I HEARD A LOUD NOISE LIKE GLASS BREAKING, WE LOOKED AROUND THE CAR TO SEE WHICH PASSENGER WINDOW MAY HAVE BROKEN AND REALIZED NONE HAD. UPON REACHING OUR HOME AND EXITING THE VEHICLE WE LEARNED THAT THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. LUCKILY FOR US I HAD THE SHIELD CLOSED SO NO GLASS WAS SPRAYED ON US. LIKE SEVERAL OF THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OVER THE PAST YEARS, WE WERE NOT NEAR AN OVERPASS, ANOTHER CAR AND IT LOOKED LIKE IT HAPPENED FROM INSIDE OUT.

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS ONE OR BOTH HEADLIGHTS WOULD JUST GO OUT PRESENTING A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS RESULTED IN MULTIPLE HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENTS, 7 TIMES IN 5 YEARS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON CITY, HIGHWAY, AND COUNTRY ROADS. PRESENT MECHANICAL SHOP HAS NO IDEA WHY SINCE ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SEEM TO BE WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE THE RECEIPTS FOR THE HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENTS IF YOU SHOULD NEED THEM. I HAD THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED IN OCTOBER OF 2016 DUE TO GOING OUT ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITHOUT STREETLIGHTS FORCING ME TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON AND THEN I HAD TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 19TH OF 2017 FOR GOING OUT AGAIN NOW AFTER ONLY 1000 MILES SINCE FEBRUARY I HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT HEADLIGHT FOR GOING OUT TODAY MARCH 21ST, 2017. LIKE I LISTED EARLIER THIS IS THE 7TH TIME IN 5 YEARS.

TAKATA RECALL- THE DASHBOARD WHERE THE AIR BAG IS LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR IS CRACKING OPEN.

HEADLIGHT BULBS GO OUT OFTEN, HAVE TO BANG ON THE LIGHT TO GET IT TO GO BACK ON, I CAN CHANGE BULBS AND IT WILL GO A COUPLE OF MONTHS BEFORE IT STARTS TO GO OUT AGAIN. HAVE TO TAKE THE BUMPER OFF TO CHANGE THE LIGHT BULB SO IT IS A HASSLE. AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET I SEE THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF MAZDA OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM

I BOUGHT MY MAZDA 6 SECOND HAND, AND I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE SUN GETS HOT THE DASHBOARD STARTS LITERALLY MELTING. THE SMELL WHEN IS HOT IS LIKE SOME KIND OF CHEMICAL. ALSO THE SHINY SURFACE INTERFERE WITH THE DRIVERS VIEW.

THE DASHBOARDS AND OTHER INTERIOR PANELS IS DEFECTIVE IT HAS MELTED AND FEELS LIKE FOAM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT IS STICKY BEHIND THE STEERING COLUMN AND ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AS WELL. ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES THE DASHBOARD TURNS BLACK AND STICKY AND MAY BE RUINED. THE MELTED DASHBOARDS CAN CAST DANGEROUS GLARES ACROSS THE WINDSHIELDS, INHIBITING THEIR VISION AND POSING A SAFETY HAZARD TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL AS A FEAR THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY ON THAT SIDE. .
