My car is not even 4 years old yet and the airbags do not work. There should be a recall. The dealership said I am not the only one having problems with that, however, they will not fix it unless there is a safety recall. This is very serious matter. Airbags are suppose to be safe and they are required.

Tribute 4WD 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles
I have had air bag harness replaced three times now and according to Mazda it has now caused my air bag module to short out. This would seem to be a safety recall which Mazda does not want to own up to. I am concerned for safety of passenger in car and cost for replacement is becoming absorbent and any investigation into this safety concern would be appreciated.
