“Nov. 2015 I was involved in a accident on i435 in which the airbags deployed which I inhaled the gas, which disoriented me for awhile. After regaining my senses discovered my vehicle was totaled.”
NHTSA complaint #11041933, filed 2017-11, 67,000 miles“Takata recall and horn and passenger door lock. I took my car in for the suspension recall and air bags to galpin in van nuys ca. I got the car back and the suspension was done but not the passenger air bag. The reason from the Mazda service mgr was since my passenger door is broken ( the lock) he could not open the door so he did not work on the air bag. I can not afford the 200.00 that it will take to fix and replace my passenger door lock. I feel that I should have my door fixed by Mazda and then do the repair work on the recalled air bag. …”
