Takata recall: I am making a complaint that putnam mazada in burlingame ca will not repair my airbag until April 12 at the earliest. This unacceptable. They state that Mazda does not make the parts available to keep on sight and they must special order them. This potentially puts me in continuing danger from their defective part.

I reviewed my past comp, ain't 10786122. I did call Mazda the manufacturer to comp, as. That the airbag had not been repaired and no parts are available August 2015. Your information is not correct as I did call Mazda August 2015. I was told by the corporate office to file a complaint, ain't with you and I did. I have file a complaint, ain't today and called Mazda today. I have asks that the car be replaced, repaired or refunded. I was told that they will contact th dealer. I hope that within the next week, the car is repaired. Clearly six months of waiting to have a dangerous car repaired is a violation of consumer rights. Why has your Agency not followed up with me" what exactly do you do to help the consumers" the recall notice was July 2015.

This is the third time I have sent to you information that my car air bag has not been repaired. I received notice in August 2015 and made an appointment to repair the airbag. I went to the Mazda dealer and was to.D the repair is not possible as no part exist to repair the car. I called maza and they said to let you know. I then sent to you a complaint in September. I received a little post card from you this month and returned the post card to you and let you know that my car is. It repaired. How can you help me get my Mazda fixed?

Takata recall, I received the recall for the first time in July 2015. Mazda gave me an appointment for Sept.9,2015 I went and after being there the whole day. I was told that they had to change my airbag and they order the part.. they told me to go in Sept 12 in order to fix the airbag, after spending the whole day there they ordered the wrong item so I had to leave the place without the correct airbag. I called one last time in November and they told me that they haven't received the airbag, that they will call me when they get it this week I received another safety recall saying final repair-safety recall 8215F will I get my airbag replaced finally?
