MAZDA Complaints

I WAS NOTIFIED IN FEBRUARY OF 2015 THAT THEY WERE RECALLING THE AIR BAGS. I GOT ANOTHER LETTER IN THE MAIL IN AUGUST, NOTIFYING ME THAT I WILL BE NOTIFIED ABOUT WHEN TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THEM REPAIRED. NO ONE HAS GOTTEN BACK TO ME AND I'M STILL DRIVING WITH THE FAULTY AIR BAGS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MAZDA TRIBUTE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE, THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

DISSATISFIED THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THE AIRBAG SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO WORKING PHONE NUMBER TO CALL AND WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR MANY MILES, KNOWING THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT SAFE!

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THE CAR TAKE TURNS GOING OUT FOR SOME REASON. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR FIVE YEARS, BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT BULBS AT LEAST 8 TIMES. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER REVIEW ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IF WE TO BE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT THAT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. SECOND ISSUE: EVERY WINTER WHEN IT GETS COLDER THE CARS ELECTRONIC SYSTEM SEEMS TO RUN MUCH SLOWER AND THE BLUE TOOTH, CD PLAYER, ETC. WILL NOT CONNECT AND THERE HAS BEE THREE INSTANCES WHERE THE CAR WILL MAKE A LOUD POPPING NOISE WHILE IT IS IN MOTION AND THE WHOLE STEREO SYSTEM, BLUE TOOTH, DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL POWER OFF AND I'LL HAVE TO RESET UP THE BLUE TOOTH.
