“Takata recall: got letter stating no one should ride in front passenger seat until repair done. Yet repair may not be done for 10-15 years!!!!!!! I called russell Mazda in catonsville, md & they concurred. This is ridiculous: I have five people needing to be in the car: how can we not use the front seat for 10-15 years?”
NHTSA complaint #10894276, filed 2016-08, 120,000 miles“On the afternoon of november 4th, 2012 while operating my Mazda at approximately 20 MPH, smoke started coming from the steering wheel. I pulled to the side of the road and came to a complete stop. Fearful for what was causing the smoke, I exited the vehicle. As I closed the door, the driver's airbag deployed. Two minutes later, the horn sounded for about a minute and then shut off. Smoke continued to billow inside the vehicle for approximately 20 minutes. I had the vehicle towed to the local Mazda dealership. Their service department thinks that I had a faulty clockspring. …”
