My 2015 mazda3 was in a collision on 09/08/2021 and my vehicle was totaled. None of my airbags deployed. Fortunately i only sustained neck and back injuries. I believe that i would have avoided these injuries if my airbags deployed properly. Has anyone else reported a problem with airbags on the 2015 mazda3? If there is a problem with the airbag then other owners need to be notified of this safety issue.

MAZDA3 4-cyl

  • 5,000 miles
I was in a rear end collision with the Mazda, and was hit at 50mph speed by a drunk driver while stopped at a traffic light. The driver had fallen asleep at the wheel, so did not brake prior to the collision. During the collision, the air bags did not deploy, nor did the seat belt catch me, and I hit the steering wheel with full strength, causing damage to the right side of my face where I had hit with eye damage, and soft tissue damage all over the face with nerve numbness on the whole left side. Of concern is why none of the safety features of a 2 month old vehicle did not deploy during a high impact crash.
