Example complaints

“Maybe takata recall - our Mazda 5 was parked in the driveway overnight on march 12. We went to drive the car and found the entire interior of the car was covered in a fine powder. The glove box was open. We concluded that the inflator from the front passenger airbag position had gone off on its own. The airbag itself did not deploy. We then drove the vehicle to the Mazda dealership for service, (about 1 mile).”
