“Takata recall, I called Mazda america on or around march 1, 2019 about this recall, I explained I would need a vehicle to use as they fixed it, the lady on the phone explained that there dealer in huntersville nc would not have a vehicle to loan for three or four day and that the dealership would call me, its not the 25th of march and no phone calls fron Mazda or there dealer!”
NHTSA complaint #11191323, filed 2019-03“Takata recall - this is ridiculous. I cannot use all 7 seats in my 7-passenger vehicle and there is no end in sight. Parts are not available and nobody can give any reasonable estimates of when they will be available. Please allow people affected to go to their dealers to have the faulty airbags removed/disconnected until parts are available. We need to be able to use our vehicles fully.”
NHTSA complaint #11006110, filed 2017-07“Hi there ... We got rear ended last year ... I have had no luck getting our Mazda repaired for the last couple of months ... Mazda has not called me back for repair”
NHTSA complaint #11039161, filed 2017-10“Takata recall, entering VIN in this site does not result in a recall for air bags shown. Entering on the Mazda site indicates there is a recall. However it also says solution is not available. It indicates via a map that I am in zone 2 (north carolina. However the vehicle is extensively used in south carolina which is in zone 1...the first to be replaced.. I would like confirmation and a proposed time line for repair. If this can not be completed within the next 30 days I would like the ability to disable the passenger side airbag until a replacement/repair can be affected.”
