Takata recall - the takata recall has continued since 2014 with no fix in sight. Our vehicle is still on the road and a danger to it's occupants. This recall should never have lasted this long. Mazda should either fix the problem or purchase the car from me since I cannot sell it with this potentially deadly defect.

Takata recall - I just received a recall notice on our 2007 Mazda 6 passenger side airbags. The notice said that no solution was available yet. And, they suggest no one ride or sit in the passenger seat while driving. Are you serious" I appreciate the late safety notice and their liability coverage by burying that statement on the back page of a business letter, however, what about offering us consumers options? 1. disable the passenger side airbag at our choice and their expense until a replacement part can be installed at their expense? 2. subsidizing the cost of a safe rental car until ours is safe to drive" 3. paying us full value on our used vehicle in exchange for the sale of another vehicle that is safe to drive. I have called the dealer ship and none of these or any options are available to the consumer. The car is rendered useless and of zero value at the moment. Moreover, if anyone sits in the passenger seat and we get in a real accident, the run the risk of more injury, pain, and suffering due to the airbag than the accident. If you look at the numbers, I believe wearing your seatbelt properly provides the highest percentage of safety in an impact. It sounds to me like this airbag is a defective part that can cause hurt either inside or outside of an accident. It needs to be removed and disabled from the vehicle right away. At the very least, this notice should say, bring it in and we'll remove it or disable it asap.
