Driver air bag inflator final repair notice - safety recall 8215F. I took my vehicle when I received the first notice and went to jim falk Mazda in kahului, maui, Hawaii and they told me sorry we don't have the part to replace yet but will call me when it comes in and that was about a year ago.now I received the 2nd and final notice and I called two days ago to the same place and again they told me they were going to look into it and call me back. Well no call back yet and I am getting very upset that they don't feel that this is important to call people back to fix this important problem. Being that the airbag is important you would think that they would order the part asap and call you to come in and have it replaced.

I want to complain about my recall not being replaced in a reasonable amount of time. Going on 11 months, still no solution, and I was told not to drive with a passenger until it gets fixed. Ridiculous. Airbags were recalled in December 2015. In January 2016 I called Mazda to get this scheduled and went in late February once the parts came in. I was told both my driver and passenger airbag would be replaced that day. When I picked up my car I was told only the drivers side had been done and I'd be contacted about the passenger side soon. One month later I get a call saying my other airbag part was in. I called to make an appointment and then was told, no wait, it wasn't. a few months later I received a call confirming my appointment for my airbag. Great but I didn't have an appointment. I called and they didn't know what I was talking about but would look in to it. 3 days later I was called again and said my part was in to make an appointment. So I did. I skipped work to bring my car in, show up, and was told that there was no part and there never was. I was told the part wasn't even available and not to drive my car with a passenger until its fixed. I then received calls from Mazda's Chicago office and letter in the mail stating indeed, parts weren't available yet and reiterated not to drive with a passenger until its fixed. That was over 4 months ago at this point. It's absurd that a recall that can severely injure myself or my passengers has taken 11 months with no solution. And to be told "don't drive with a passenger" is even more absurd. I use my car for day to day life, that is not an option. I just want my recall fixed. I know many people that had both their sides fixed, why is mine taking 11 months an counting with multiple times being screwed around and over 4 months of silence now? if someone gets hurt, I'm suing the [xxx] out everyone.

Takata recall - this is the second vehicle that has been recalled for this problem. In both cases now the manufacturer has send a second notice weeks after the first replacement occurred indicating the vehicle is required to come back for an additional replacement. It is a significant inconvenience once let along twice and is not acceptable.
