2007 MAZDA CX-7 Air Bags Problems

BEFORE I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN TO STAR MAZDA AN AUTHORIZED DEALER IN GLENDALE TWICE FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT WARNING SIGN WHICH HAD BEEN LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. TWICE STAR MAZDA CHARGED ME $140.00 FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHT. AFTER I RECEIVED THE NOTICE I TOOK THE CAR IN AND AFTER TWO HOURS THEY INDICATED THAT THEY REPLACE THE PARTS NEEDED AND IT IS A SIMPLE RECALL AND ITS NOT SO IMPORTANT. THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT IS STILL LIT ON THE DASHBOARD AND MY REGULAR MECHANIC STATED THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT FUNCTION ON MY CAR SINCE THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT IS LIT. PLEASE ADVISE. I HAVE ANOTHER MAZDA WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALER REFUSES TO RESOLVE THE AIRBAG WARNING SIGN WHICH IS ON RIGHT AFTER I TURN ON THE VEHICLE. THE OTHER MAZDA VIN # IS [XXX]. PLEASE ADVISE.

I'VE ALREADY MAKE THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT IN 16-MARCH-2018 BUT I'M STILL RECEIVING THE NOTIFICATIONS. THERE'S BEEN 1 YEAR AND A HALF SINCE THEN AND GOT LIKE A HUNDRED OF NOTIFICATIONS. I'M BEGINNING TO THINK THAT THE DEALER DIDN'T DO THE REPLACEMENT. OR MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T UPDATED THE DATABASE? I'M WORRIED BECAUSE THE MAZDA DEALER IS TELLING ME TO IGNORE THOSE NOTIFICATIONS. I'M TRYING TO CONTACT YOU BUT THERE'S NO WAY TO CONTACT ANYBODY IN NHTSA. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I FILE A COMPLAINT AND THERE'S NO RESPONSE. I THINK YOU AREN'T DOING ENOUGH WITH THIS EMERGENCY.

MAZDA WILL NOT COMPLETE THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL ON OUR VEHICLE NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THEY ARE CONTACTED. WE HAVE MADE AT LEAST 6 ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM, I THINK MORE, FOR NEARLY A YEAR. MAZDA REPS HAVE PROMISED TO GET BACK TO ME, BUT WE NEVER HEAR MORE. THEY KEEP SENDING NOTICE BY MAIL, BUT THEY DO NOT FOLLOW UP AFTER I CALL.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS AND OTHER MAZDA CAR MODELS HAS GONE ON TOO LONG. AFTER RECEIVING NOTIFICATION IN JULY OF THIS YEAR, I WENT ONLINE AND DISCOVERED AIR BAG COMPLAINTS DATING BACK TO 2008!. THE FACT THAT MAZDA IGNORED THESE COMPLAINTS, WAITING MORE THAN EIGHT YEARS TO CONDUCT A MASSIVE AIR BAG RECALL IS UNTENABLE. THE ANXIETY PRODUCED BY DRIVING WITH FRONT-SEAT PASSENGERS IS A SERIOUS DISTRACTION FOR ANYONE WHO OWNS ONE OF THESE VEHICLES; FOLLOWING THE MANUFACTURER'S ADVICE TO DISALLOW FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS HAS BECOME AN INCONVENIENCE. FOR MANY DRIVERS, LOSS OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT AN OPTION ; THIS HAS GONE ON FOR TOO LONG WITHOUT NOTICE OF RESOLUTION BY MAZDA. I AM DEMANDING THAT MAZDA BEGIN REPLACING PASSENGER AIR BAGS IMMEDIATELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA CX-7. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V356000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE OF 2016.

IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATING ON THE DASH AND ALSO THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY LIGHT NOT ILLUMINATING AT ALL. I THEN HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND IT IS THE THERMOSTAT THAT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE TECH AT THE AUTO SHOP SAID THAT THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON WITH MAZDA CX-7. IF THAT IS THE CASE, WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED? I HAVE READ THROUGH HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES ONLINE STATING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND THE THERMOSTAT.

DECEMBER 2015 I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP (AAA SERVICE SAID TO DO SO BECAUSE OF THE NOISE AND FEAR THE VVT WOULD BREAK WHILE IN MOTION) TO REPLACE THE VVT (TIMING CHAIN) AND VALVE COVER GASKETS - PAYING OUT OF POCKET. AS OF TODAY, 2/12/16, THE SAME NOISE, BUT LOUDER, STILL OCCURS WHEN I START THE CAR AND DRIVE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND WAS ON WHEN I TOOK IT IN. NO MENTION OF WAS MADE. ALSO, WHEN I RECEIVED MY RECEIPT, THEY HAD THE MILEAGE WRONG BY 20,000 MILES (POTENTIALLY AFFECTING CARFAX REPORTS) , AND INDICATED ON THE SHEET THAT OTHER AREAS SUCH AS LIGHTS WERE FINE AND THEY WERE NOT. THEY DID MENTION THAT MY TURBO MAY NEED REPLACING SOON (ANOTHER CONSISTENT COMPLAINT). THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED IN NJ REGARDING THIS AND IT WAS THROWN OUT. WHY ISN'T THE GOVERNMENT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT ALL OF THESE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS? WHERE DO I GO SINCE I JUST DON'T TRUST MAZDA DEALERSHIPS?

FIRST THE AIR CON COMPRESSOR WENT OUT,NOW THE AIR BAGS LIGHTS STAYS ON.THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ALSO ON.MAZDA NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES.THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE FROM THE BEGINNING.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY. I PUT OF THE VEHICLE ON A FEW TIMES HOPING THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF, BUT IT NEVER DID. FOR THREE DAYS NOW THE AIR BAG LIGHT OF THE DRIVER SIDE HAS REMAINED ALIGHT. EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND THE ENGINE IS TURNED ON, THE AIR BAG COMES ON IMMEDIATELY.

BOUGHT THE CAR AT 103500 AND NOTICED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER EXTENSIVE ONLINE RESEARCH AND CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I DISCOVERED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATES THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT MAZDA ISSUE A RECALL TO PREVENT FURTHER INJURIES, AS THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN A FEW THAT I'VE SEEN ONLINE. IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

Mileage: 105,000

WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE NEW. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHTS UP FOR NO REASON. IT'S INTERMEDIATE. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE HOWEVER NOT A RECALL THEREFORE MAZDA WILL NOT PAY FOR THE EXPENSE TO REPAIR/FIX IT. I HAVE ASKED IF THE AIR BAG WILL WORK IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY CANNOT SAY EITHER WAY. ALSO OUR ENGINE LIGHT IS INTERMEDIATE AS WELL. I'VE TAKEN IT TO REPAIR SHOPS WHO RAN A FREE DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH STATES ANOTHER KNOWN ISSUE WITH MAZDA WITH THE FUEL EVAPORATION LINE. IF MAZDA IS AWARE OF THESE ISSUES, WHY DON'T THEY REPAIR THEM AT NO COST TO THE OWNER? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? *TR

MY AIRBAG RANDOMLY COMES ON WITHOUT ANYONE SITTING IN THE SEAT. I HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP IN JUNE TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT , AND THE PART CENTER SAID THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, IF YOU ARE IN A CAR ACCIDENT IT WILL NOT DEPLOY. I PERSONALLY FEEL THIS MODEL ON AIRBAGS SHOULD LOOK INTO A RECALL TOO! *TR

I AM ON A MAZDA FORUM AND HONESTLY THERE SHOULD BE MORE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS IN SEVERAL CATEGORIES... MAZDA RESPONSES TO JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IS TO REPLACE SOMETHING FOR A MINIMUM $500 UP TO THOUSANDS... I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO DEAL WITH MAZDA AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER...

CALLED DEALERSHIP AD WAS TOLD IT COULD BE JUST BAGGAGE ON PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AND TO COME IN IF PERSISTS. IT PERSISTED AND TOOK VEHICLE IN TO BE INSPECTED. TECHNICIANS SAID SENSORS UNDERNEATH FRONT SEATS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE RECALIBRATED. AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR DRIVERS SIDE SEAT WAS RECALIBRATED BUT PASSENGER SIDE COULD NOT. AIRBAG SAFETY SENSORS NOT COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY OFFERED BY MAZDA AND MAZDA WILL NOT FIX SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE VEHICLE NO LONGER UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. TECHNICIANS COULD NOT GIVE ME A REASON WHY THE SENSORS FAILED AND WHY MAZDA DOES NOT COVER SAFETY ITEMS THAT CAN SAVE A LIFE.

AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES AND ONLY 3 YEARS OF USAGE, MY VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A TERRIBLE RACKET AND SMELL. I OPENED THE HOOD TO SEE IT WAS A THE CLUTCH OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR THAT HAD LOCKED UP AND CAUSED BIG PROBLEMS WITH THE BELT. TRYING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO GET REPAIRED ONLY MADE THE ISSUE WORSE. I GOT A BRAND NEW AIR COMPRESSOR INSTALLED AND THE NOISE IS NOW GONE AND THE AC IS WORKING FINE. (AFTER PAYING APPROXIMATELY $700) HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG LIGHT JUST STARTED FLASHING AND THEN STAYING ON AND IT'S ONLY A WEEK SINCE THE AC REPAIR. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND IF THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO ISSUES. I AM READING ABOUT ALL SORTS OF COMPLAINTS WITH BOTH ISSUES AND I HAVE READ A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THE AIRBAGS. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED VERY QUICKLY BEFORE MANY OWNERS GET SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THESE RAMPANT DEFECTS WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR
