“We received the recall notice in august 2016 and no remedy has been made. This is ridiculous. Ball joints and lower control arms are replaced everyday - what's the dam hold up? I called the hotline twice today and was disconnected after being on hold. I guess I have to get my attorney involved with Mazda and ngtsa.”
NHTSA complaint #10978562, filed 2017-04“Takata recall received airbag recall in july, warning me not to use the passenger seat, as of december 13, 2016 my vehicle has not been repaired. In october, I received a second safety recall for a potentially dangerous front suspension defect, again, no parts available to repair my car. I feel that my vehicle should be made safe now or I should be given alternate transportation until it is.”
