AT INSPECTION STATION MEYER & SONS, 62 SHEFFIELD ROAD, EGREMONT, MA 01258: DIRECTIONAL LIGHTS CHECK; BUMPERS/FENDERS CHECK BOTH FAILED; THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TAIL LIGHT DOME, WHICH DOES NOT AFFECT THE OPERATION OF ANY LIGHTS. THERE IS A LARGE RUST SPOT IN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL WELL. WE DO NOT BELIEVE A CRACKED LIGHT GLOBE AND RUST HOLES SHOULD FAIL THE TRUCK INSPECTION!!!

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS INFORMED OF A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG IN JULY 2016 AND INSTRUCTED "UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS PERFORMED, DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." THIS HAS BEEN AN EXTRAORDINARY INCONVENIENCE NOT TO MENTION I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD TODDLER IN THE BACKSEAT. IN JUST OVER A WEEK, IT WILL BE 4 MONTHS SINCE THIS NOTIFICATION WAS MADE. I LIVE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, WITH HIGH HUMIDITY WITH A 2010 VEHICLE - THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS FAILURE. GIVEN THE LOCAL CLIMATE, WHY HASN'T MY VEHICLE BEEN PRIORITIZED SO THAT MY AIRBAG WAS ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER? DISAPPOINTED. *TR

THE CAR HAS A ACCELERATION PROBLEN WHEN YOU ARE ON A DRIVE ON A STOP POSITION OR ON A RED LIGHT.

THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS MADE OF A MATERIAL THAT MELTS DURING HOT SUNNY PERIODS AND TAKES ON A REFLECTIVE SURFACE WHICH ACTS LIKE A MIRROR. WHEN SUNLIGHT HITS THE SURFACE NOT ONLY IS THE SUN REFLECTED OFF THE SURFACE OF THE DASHBOARD BUT IT'S ALSO PROJECTED ONTO THE WINDSHIELD INSTANTLY BLINDING THE DRIVER OF THE RIGHT HALF OF THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD, TURNING THE WHOLE SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD INTO YET ANOTHER MIRROR BOUNCING DIRECT SUNLIGHT INTO THE EYES OF THE DRIVER INSTANTLY BLINDING THEM. VISIBILITY IS SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED AND IT BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD. ALSO THIS MELTED DASHBOARD IS THE SURFACE OF THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG. BEING THAT IT'S DEFECTIVE AND MELTED ONE WOULD BE LED TO BELIEVE THAT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG WOULD ALSO BE EFFECTED OR DEFECTIVE. THE GLARE OFF OF THE AIRBAG / DASHBOARD AND THE PROJECTED LIGHT REFLECTED OFF THE WINDSHIELD IS CONSTANT ALL TIMES WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING. THIS IS NOT JUST DANGEROUS IT'S DEADLY AND A GENUINE HAZZARD TO THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGERS, AND EVERY SINGLE MOTORIST AND THEIR OCCUPANTS THAT PASS BY THE DEFECTED CAR AND EVERY MOTORIST WHO INTERACTS WITH THIS DEFECTIVE MAZDA AND THE BLIND DRIVER. THIS CAN KILL PEOPLE. RECALL THIS DEADLY CAR, FROM THIS POINT FORWARD IF THE RECALL IS NOT MANDATED AND SOMEONE DIES JUST REMEMBER THIS DEPARTMENT COULD HAVE PREVENTED IT.
