TAKATA RECALL. I LIVE IN THE HUMID HOT SOUTH IN TEXAS. THOUGH MAZDA IS WELL AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR AND THE FACT THAT HUMID CONDITIONS WORSENS THE PROBLEM, THEY HAVE NO PLANS IN PLACE AT THIS TIME TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILL NOT EVEN OFFER A LOANER OR RENTAL CAR. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A TICKING TIME BOMB CARTING YOUNG CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS IS TAKING SO LONG. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO SPEED UP THE RECALL AND REPAIR PROCESS.

TAKATA RECALL. INSUFFICIENT PARTS. BUT, MAZDA ADVISES US TO "NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." THAT IS RIDICULOUS. ALSO, ISN'T THE DRIVER AT RISK AS WELL? ISN'T THE ADVISAL INSUFFICIENT? IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART, AND IF DRIVING THE CAR IS DANGEROUS AS ADVISED, SHOULDN'T WE BE PROVIDED A LOANER UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE?

CURRENTLY, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT DASHBOARD FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY DASH BOARD IS MELTED. APPARENTLY IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT IN MY MODEL CAR. TWO YEARS AGO THE DEALERSHIP TOOK PICTURES, SENT IN THE CLAIM, AND I STARTED WAITING. SINCE THEN I HAVE RECEIVED AT LEAST TWO LETTERS TO UPDATE ME TO THE FACT THAT THE PART STILL IS NOT AVAILABLE. SO I CONTINUE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH A MELTED DASH BOARD, WHICH BY THE WAY IS A STICKY MESS. NOW, AS IF TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT MY PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. YET AGAIN, THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE AND I WILL SOMEDAY RECEIVE NOTIFICATION WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE. EVEN MORE OUTRAGEOUS IS THAT THE LETTER SAYS, "UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS PERFORMED, DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS BEEN MONTHS AND STILL NO LETTER CONCERNING THE PART BEING CORRECTED.
TAKATA RECALL MY SON'S 2011 VEHICLE HAS A TAKATA AIRBAG IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CAN NOT REPLACE IT AT THIS TIME AS THERE IS NOT A FORMAL RECALL. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE WEBSITE SAYS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE ASAP ON ALL AIRBAGS YOU KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH. IS IT OK THAT THE AIRBAG KILLS A PASSENGER?
