There is a recall on my airbags and i'm just wondering how many letters and warnings i'm going to get before they do something about it. i have had no less than four warnings and yet no parts and no solution. they either need to fix it or stop warning me about it. i know it's crap, they don't need to tell me it's crap every 4 months and then refuse to fix it.

Takata recall the lack of information about getting this repaired ("no parts are available" is the only info i have) is unacceptable. on top of that, i just sat on hold for almost a half hour waiting for my call to be answered, and the rep picked up, acted like she couldn't hear me on the phone and hung up on me. i have a letter saying i shouldn't let people ride in the front seat of my car because its unsafe, but then mazda's site says oh its safe enough, never mind my driver's airbag where i sit to drive the [xxx] car is affected too. mazda has to get its act together and get these things fixed immediately. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
