2005 Mazda MAZDA3

I DROVE OVER A BUMP AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH LIGHT UP AS WELL. BOTH LIGHTS TURNED OFF WITHIN A WEEK, THEN FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS JUST THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN SWITCHING ON AND OFF. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE, AND THE LIGHT HAS RETURNED BACK ON AGAIN. I FEAR IF I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MAZDA 3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER RECLINING THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 04V559000 (AIR BAGS). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER MY SON HAD RECLINED THE PASSENGER SEAT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THEN BACK UP TO THE PROPER HEIGHT, THE AIR BAG SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE READJUSTED THE SEAT SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL AS ATTACH AND UN ATTACH THE SEAT BELTS SEVERAL TIME, BUT THE LIGHT IS STILL ILLUMINATED. PLEASE HAVE THE SENSORS RECALLED SO THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

ANYTIME AFTER IT RAINS, THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. DOING INTERNET RESEARCH, ITS MOST LIKELY THE CRASH SENSORS THAT HAVE CRACKS THAT ALLOW MOISTURE IN. THE DEALER WANTS TO RUN EXTENSIVE TESTS COSTING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, WHEN I AM SURE THEY ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS. IT SAYS ON THE INTERNET THAT THE AIR BAG WON'T DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH WITH THIS DEFECT. OLDER MODELS OF THIS CAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS. THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM AND THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

VEHICLE INVLOVED INTO HIGHWAY COLLISION DURING WET CONDITIONS. WAS STRUCK BY TOYOTA TACOMA AFTER THE TACOMA HAD SPUN OUT. INITIAL IMPACT WAS DRIVER SIDE FENDER CORNER CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT, AS IT SPUN OUT , VEHICLE WAS STRUCK 3 MORE TIMES, BY THE OUT OF CONTROL TACOMA, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR, FRONT DOOR AND FENDER. REAR PASSENGER DOOR CAVED IN , PANEL ASSEMBLY WAS PUSHED IN , WINDOW SHATTERED, BENCH SEAT DISLODGED. NOT ONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED DURING ANY OF THE 4 IMPACTS. DESPITE FULL BRAKE PRESSURE APPLIED, VEHICLE SPINNING AND 3 SEATBELTS ENGAGED. ACCORDINGLY SYSTEM WAS TESTED "OK" BY MAZDA DURING VEHICLE REPAIRS. I WOULD SUPPOSE THAT THE CURTAIN SIDE AND SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED ESPECIALLY IF THE REAR DOOR WAS SMASHED IN. *TR

HI, I HAVE TWO ISSUES DUE TO: ELECTRICAL PROBLEM: AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT MAY COME ON DUE TO DAMAGED PRETENSIONER SENSOR WIRING BREAKAGE FROM ADJUSTING THE SEAT. (2005) . THIS WAS ON SATURDAY OCTOBER 30, 2010 THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT: THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATE, ISSUES DUE TO A VALVE IN THE INTAKE SYSTEM JAMMING. THE DEALER MAZDA IN PONCE, PUERTO RICO, CHECK THIS ISSUES, THIS IS THE PART # LF82-18-740 VALVE,SOLE & LF70-15-170 THEY SAID TO REPAIR THOSE PARTS. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THANK YOU.
