We have classified the 19 complaints from 2010 Mazda Mazda3 about AIR BAGS into the following categories.
I start the car and remain parked. the airbag light flashes once, pauses, and then flashes six times. the airbag light in the instrument cluster continues to flash once followed by six more flashes. this problem continues every time the car is driven. many owners have had the same problem. no airbag has been deployed and car has not been in an accident.
Takata recall , dashboard starting to meltdown really bad. i seen alot of people got same problem.the vehicle is my commuter over time it starts to get sticky fibers get stuck on it needs to recalled asap for the timing of the air bag deployment it's really unsafe please help . the headlights assembly contains alot of moister after a car wash. moisture can cause an electrical problem and burn the computer itself
Dash lit up with message airbag is off. called my dealer in st apeaters and told can't check unless it is on and would be a service cost. was driving about 40 miles an hour.on 2 way street., driving in straight at the time.
Air bag light keeps flashing 3 times every 10 seconds. i have no idea why. but the mazda website says there are no recalls?
Takata inflators. highway traffic had come to a stop and while trying to come to a stop my brakes completely failed with the pedal pushed all the way down. the car barely slowed down and rear ended the still car in front at approximately 40 mph. even with such a forceful impact the airbags didn't come out.
I was involved in a front end collision, sitting at a stop light and hit head on by a car that was struck by another car failing to yield the right of way. it was determined that i was hit by the other car moving at approximately 55 mph in the front end of my car, flipping it into the ditch nose first. i am fortunate to be here writing this because my air bags in the car did not deploy and they most certainly should have. owners rely on their car's air bag to deploy in the event of this type of situation. i am fortunate to have had my seat belt on. i suffered a concussion, whiplash and a hip issue that has yet to be diagnosed. please fix this dangerous problem before someone else pays dearly for this with their life. i was fortunate.
Takata recall, i got a postcard in the mail stating that my car may have had an airbag settlement. no accident happened, i am letting you guys know what is going on. thanks
Airbag notice flashes on car. this is a safety divice that should be mazda company to make sure the driving meets safety guidelines. the handbook tears that if light comes on it is an indication that the airbags will not deploy in a accident. i spoke with mazda corporation that informed me that to correct the problem is my responsibility. i guess it will take death or injury for action to be taken. i informed them if this happens there will be a law suit. can you help.
Takata recall; i have requested this recall be honored and was just told by the local mazda dealer there is nothing they can do about it and there are no parts available to replace the defective and potentially deadly airbag. i have been told this from the beginning of the recall concern. what can i do if anything to resolve this issue?
Takata recall the red airbag light near the mileage has been blinking for two months now. the mazda dealer mechanics checked the wiring and said they don't know what is causing it to do that. its starts blinking as soon as i turn my car on. the other airbag light near the dashboard with the clock display is still on as usual, not blinking.
Got involved in a fender bender at 50 mph and air bags never went off. the body of the car also came apart so quickly i ended up totaling the entire vehicle.
I entered my car first thing in the morning (after a fairly cold night). the car was stationary overnight sitting in my driveway. i looked over to my left and on the dashboard of the passenger side, there was an crack about 6-7 inches long on top of where the airbag sits. in the light, it appears that the crack will spread to the left and grow substantially in length/width. i am very concerned that this could potentially become an inhibitor to making the passenger function properly.
I have a crack like a y long passenger-side dashboard andmy airbag sensor lights has been going on and off on different times
Takata recall related accident happened 10/31/2014. there was no airbag recall at this time. i was hit on the drivers side classic t-bane accident. the airbag deployment caused more damage than the force of the actual accident. the side curtain airbag deployed. the other driver was traveling 20-30 mph at impact. i was unconcious for approx 30 seconds to 1min and i couldn't remember my address for the first 15-20 minutes after the accident. police were notified and showed to the scene. i was unable to hear the rest of the day from my l ear ( which i was told by the er provider is normal for the airbag going off is like a concussion grenade) and had muffled hearing the next 4-5 days. i also had a cold wet feeling down the l side of my face ( like there was blood running down my face, but there was no laceration.) the er referred me to follow up with a pcp. i saw a provider when i could afterward as i couldn't open my mouth for 5-7 days after the day of the accident. i was referred to ent to follow up concerning possible broken jaw/facial fractures breaks. i still have complications with my jaw and facial numbness on the l side. i was told this will never go away and is unable to be operated on.
