IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF, SINCE JULY 2015, I HAVE REPLACED THREE TIRE MONITORING VALVES ON MY 2010 MAZDA 3. THIS MORNING I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR THE MONITOR WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH REPLACEMENT. AND THE REPAIR IS NOT CHEAP THROUGH THE DEALER. IT IS ABOUT $200 FOR EACH VALVE. I READ SOME BAD EXPERIENCES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT. I PRAY THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ME.

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.

TAKATA RECALL: PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AND SOMETIMES STAYS ON OR BLINKS. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 60 MPH IT SWERVED WITHOUT WARNING TO THE RIGHT CAUSING THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRES TO FALL OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND NEARLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL.

MAZDA RECALL 7514D, CROSS BRACE KIT, FAILED CAUSING CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF STEERING. THE CROSS BRACE ATTACHMENT AT THE FRAME FAILED. CROSS BRACE INTACT, BUT THE FRAME ATTACHMENT WAS SEVERELY CORRODED CAUSING FRAME FAILURE AND CROSS BRACE SEPARATION FROM THE FRAME. THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED 8/21/14. IT IS SUSPECT THAT SEVERE CORROSION MAY HAVE EXISTED AT THE TIME THAT THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, BUT WAS EITHER NOT DETECTED OR NOT ADDRESSED, LEADING TO THE ULTIMATE FRAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH, HAVING JUST STARTED FROM A STOP AND IN A RIGHT HAD TURN, AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT SHE DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE EVENT AND CONTINUED DRIVING SINCE THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY CORRECTED THE STEERING FAILURE. THE CAR REACHED 30-45 MPH WHEN SERIOUS STEERING ISSUES WERE DETECTED. THE DRIVER WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE SAFELY STOPPED THROUGH FULL CROSS STEERING AND WAS VERY SHAKEN BY THIS EVENT, SINCE 2 SMALL CHILDREN WERE PASSENGERS DURING THIS SERIOUS EVENT.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS POWERED OFF, THE BACK REST OF THE DRIVER'S CHAIR WILL FALL BACK COMPLETELY TAKING 2-10 SECONDS TO HIT THE REAR SEATING. AFTER TURNING ON THE VEHICLE, I WILL HAVE TO READJUST THE CHAIR TAKING ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES TO ADJUST THE BACK REST INTO AN UPRIGHT POSITION. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND SPORADICALLY, HAPPENED ONCE WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED ABOUT 15-20 MPH. ALSO, HEAD REST TO TOO FAR FORWARD MAKING IT UNCOMFORTABLE. COMPANY SHOULD LOOK INTO ELECTRICALLY MOTORIZED HEAD REST FOR ANGLE AND ELEVATION.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY POWER STERING GOES OUT ALL THE TIME DOESNT MATTER IF IM SITTING STILL OR IM GOING DOWN THE HIGH WAY. IT DOES EVENTUALLY COME BACK ON BUT DOES GO BACK OFF. IT ALSO WILL CAUSE MY STERING WHEEL TO JURK LEFT AND RIGHT BY ITSELF CAUSE ME TO SWERVE IN AN OUT OF LANES. IT GOT TO THE POINT NOW WHERE I HAVE THE POWER STERING UNPLUGGED SO THAT IT DOESNT JERK MY WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. I JUST NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL THAT WILL PAY TO FIX THIS CAUSE ITS GETTING DANGEROUS. PLEASE CONTACT BACK WITH ANY INFO

THERE WAS A RECALL ORDERED OCTOBER 6, 2016 FOR FAULTY LIFT GATE STAY DAMPERS (SAFETY RECALL 9916H, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NO. 16V-644). IT HAS BEEN 8 MONTHS AND THERE STILL IS NO FIX/SOLUTION AVAILABLE. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO ISSUE A FIX FOR A RECALL? THERE ARE OTHER RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE AND I AM WAITING FOR A FIX FOR THIS ONE SO I CAN GET ALL THE RECALLS ADDRESSED AT ONE TIME.
