Problems with 2007 Mazda CX-7 AIR BAGS

Tamara recall

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. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

' takata recall' it seems after having my car for 4 months i ran into issues. i was driving on a residential street when my car started making a strange whining noise and small plumes or white smoke began to come from the hood, near the pulley systems. i drove home approximately 4 miles away . i went to start it the next day and it won't start it seems to be the alternator.

Air bags have been replaced after recall in july of 2018 and air bag l8ghts hace come back on in october 2018. both driver and passenger lights come on while driving and when stationary after starting the car.

Airbag light stays on and only goes off when car is shut off.

I have received a recall notice for my vehicle, but searching your site does not show it. how do i know which is true?

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. email: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I took my 2007 mazda cx7 for service and two safety recalls, last year. the replaced the lower control arms at the front end. they also did the safety recall 9516e=passenger air bag replacement. after a while the air bag dash red light comes on and stays on for a while. my cx7 has 97,500 miles and now my engine sounds like is a diesel engine when i am at a stop traffic light. it seems like the timing chain is stretching. they have not added this variable valve timing defect as a safety recall, after all this is a ford engine and i was expecting this mazda to last up to the 200,000 miles.
