2011 MAZDA CX-7 Air Bags Problems

My mechanic told me to check with Mazda as there might be a recall that has not been taken care of yet. I called Mazda and they told me there were 3 recalls (2 of which my mechanic already fixed) and the airbag recall. Told me not to drive, but would not provide any vehicle to use and would not set an appointment until December 8th, 2025.

The contact owns a 2011 Mazda CX-7. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V429000 (Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact called an independent mechanic, but no assistance was provided. The local dealer was contacted. The dealer declined to tow the vehicle. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Recall on air bag throwing metal

I called Mazda to report that my air bag warning light came on and they told me it had been replaced on Jan 8, 2019 and was not under recall. Not sure what to do as light stays on all the time while driving.

THIRD OWNER OF VEHICLE. GOT A NOTICE FROM NHTSA AND MAZDA DUE TO REGISTRATION OF NEW TO US VEHICLE ON FEBRUARY 25, 2021. SET UP APPOINTMENT ON FEBRUARY 26, 2021 WITH NELSON MAZDA OF COOL SPRINGS FOR 10:15 A.M. ON MARCH 3, 2021. I INFORMED THE PERSON THAT THERE WERE TWO RECALLS, BUT I ONLY WANTED THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL DONE BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE BAD PARTS ON THE OTHER RECALL WITH FAR SUPERIOR AFTERMARKET PARTS AND THEREFORE DIDN'T NEED/WANT THE OTHER RECALL WHICH WAS FOR DEFECTIVE BALL JOINTS. MY WIFE DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. THEY INFORMED US A LITTLE WHILE LATER THAT WE HAD TO GET BOTH RECALLS DONE OR THEY COULDN'T DO EITHER BECAUSE THEY WOULD GET FINED BY MAZDA. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I ALREADY REPAIRED THE BALL JOINT ISSUE TO MY LIKING AND THAT THE BAD PARTS WERE NO LONGER ON THE VEHICLE. I WOULD SIGN OFF ON IT. HE SAID THEY COULDN'T DO EITHER. I ASKED HIM IF WAS THE REFUSING TO DO THE AIRBAG RECALL THAT HAS PROVEN TO BE DEADLY AND SEND MY WIFE BACK ON THE ROAD WITH A DEFECTIVE PART INSTEAD OF FIXING IT, HE SAID YES. I CONTACTED MAZDA CUSTOMER CARE AND SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AND KIND OF GOT THE SAME RESPONSE. I TOLD HER THAT THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THE BALL JOINT RECALL ARE TWO DIFFERENT RECALLS NOT CONTINGENT ON EACH OTHER AND REBUKED HER THAT MY WIFE'S LIFE WAS WORTH LESS THAN A ALLEGED FINE THAT THE DEALER COULD GET. I ALSO TOLD HER THAT THEIR REFUSAL TO DO A RECALL ON A KNOWN DEADLY DEFECTIVE PART WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS THERE AT THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT TIME WITH PARTS IN HAND WAS ILLOGICAL AND PUT THEM IN A LIABILITY LEGALLY NOW THAT THEY HAVE REFUSED TO PERFORM THE MANDATED RECALL.

TOOK MY CAR TO GET A ALIGNMENT DUE TO THE SHAKING OF THE WHEEL WHEN COMING TO A STOP, WHEN TAKING MY CAR TO BE LOOK AT, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE CONTROL ARM OF MY CAR WAS BAD, IN WHICH I WASN'T AWARE OF. ON MAY 1ST I HAD THE CONTROL ARM REPLACED. NOW I RECEIVED LETTERS AN CALLS ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. ON JUNE 15TH TOOK MY CAR TO JAKE SWEENEY MAZDA AFTER RECEIVING A CALL ABOUT THE RECALL. WHILE IN THE WAITING ROOM WAITING FOR THE AIRBAG TO BE REPAIRED, THE SERVICE PERSON [XXX] CAME BACK OUT AND TOLD ME THAT I HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE LOWER CONTROL ARM OF THE CAR, IN WHICH I JUST HAD REPAIRED ON MAY 1ST, UNAWARE OF THE RECALL, WHICH I FOUND OUT ON JUNE 15TH. AFTER EXPLAINING TO THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED, HE TOLD ME THAT HE NEEDED TO STILL FIX WHAT HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE, WITH THE UPDATED PARTS. ON JUNE 16TH, I SUBMITTED MY REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST ON JUNE 18TH I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL BACK STATING THAT ALL REPAIRS DONE BY THIRD PARTY WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. I TRIED CALLING AND SPEAKING WITH AN SUPERVISOR, WHO STILL ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY. SO I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW WHEN THEIR PARTS ARE RECALLED WITHOUT RECEIVING LETTERS ARE CALLS ABOUT IT. I PAID $855.80 TO GET THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPAIRED. I PROVIDED THEM WITH THE COPY OF MY BANK ACCOUNT, ALONG WITH THE RECEIPT COPY OF THE THIRD PARTY VENDOR WHO FIXED THE REPAIRS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY $855.80.

TAKATA RECALL I GOT A LETTER IN JULY 2017 FROM MAZDA ABOUT THIS AIRBAG RECALL AND I CALLED 2 DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THEY SAID THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND I WAITED AND WAITED UNTIL NOW NOV 29, 2017 BUT NEITHER OF THEM GET BACK TO ME.

TAKATA RECALL ON AUGUST 30 2016 I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET BREAKING AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT WHEN MY 2011 MAZDA CX7 WAS REAR ENDED AND SLID INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL TODAY ABOUT A REACALL WITH A BAR CODE AND NUMBERS TK66253230. I DO NOT HAVE MY POLICE REPORT THEY DON'T HAND THEM OUT ANYMORE IN IL WHERE I LIVE AS THEY ARE ELECTRONIC NOW BUT I CAN GO TO THE POLICE STATION AND PURCHASE ONE.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS NOTIFIED MARCH 2017 THAT MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF THE RECALL CAMPAIGN 16V-356 AND THAT PASSENGERS SHOULD NOT RIDE IN MY VEHICLE UNTIL THE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED. NOW IT APPEARS THAT RECALL WAS SUPERCEDED BY ANOTHER, CAMPAIGN 17V-429, BUT MAZDA DOES NOT SHOW MY VEHICLE INCLUDED WHEN I KEY IN THE VIN ONLINE OR CALL THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER 800 222-5500. THE AIRBAG HAS NOT YET BEEN REPLACED AND I WANT THE WORK DONE ASAP. MY HUSBAND REFUSES TO RIDE IN THE VEHICLE AND THE WAIT FOR REPAIR HAS BEEN UNACCEPTABLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT VEHICLES IN ZONE A ARE CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. MY VEHICLE WAS FIRST REGISTERED IN CALIFORNIA AND I LIVED THERE UP UNTIL A SHORT TIME AGO WHEN I MOVED TO OREGON. I BELIEVE THE HUMIDITY IN EUREKA (MY FORMER HOME) MAY HAVE AFFECTED THE AIRBAG AND THINK MY VEHICLE SHOULD STILL BE PART OF THIS CAMPAIGN FOR REPLACEMENT. NO ONE AT MAZDA OR NHTSA CAN EXPLAIN WHY MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE FIRST RECALL CAMPAIGN AND NOT THE SECOND IF THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RECTIFIED. THE NHTSA CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SAID THAT I MAY GET A LETTER IN THE FUTURE ABOUT THE RECALL, BUT AT PRESENT HER DATABASE DID NOT LIST IT. I DON'T THINK THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE. IF THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS, IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED AND I HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. IF I, OR ANYONE ELSE IN MY VEHICLE IS HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS NEGLIGENCE, THERE WILL BE LEGAL ACTION TAKEN.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL. I CALLED A MAZDA DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL I RECEIVE A SECOND NOTICE.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JULY, 2016 INFORMING ME OF THE RECALL AND ASKING ME TO WAIT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE FROM MAZDA.

WE RECEIVED THE JULY 2016 RECALL NOTICE FROM MAZDA FOR OUR VEHICLE. IT STATES: "UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS PERFORMED, DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." IN REVIEWING THE RECALL INFORMATION ON YOUR WEBSITE, IT SAYS THAT THE PROPELLANT (AMMONIUM NITRATE) CAN BECOME UNSTABLE AND CAUSE A POSSIBLE RUPTURE. HOW CAN THIS OCCUR ONLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOT ALSO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE SAME VEHICLE? SHOULDN'T THE CAR BE PARKED AND NOT DRIVEN UNTIL THE REPAIR IS COMPLETE?
