Manufacturer refuses to replace the failed (recalled) takata airbag. For about 2 years Mazda has sent letters indicating I have to wait. The attached is the most recent letter indicating they are not fixing the problem yet. I like to force the manufacturer to perform the required work so that the car will be safe again. Mazda has addmitted to the fault, but is not fixing it.. the fault with takata airbags was known in 2014 and now in 2016 Mazda still refuses to fix the car. I have asked the local dealer (don miller) multiple times about a date for the fix, but was told to wait. I don't feel safe driving a car with a known airbag problem, but have no choice since no one will buy my car that is not fixed yet. Please help me and force manufacturers to actually perform the recall work.

We received a notice for a recall on the airbag last March 2015. We contacted the local Mazda dealership in August 2015 asking when we would have our airbags replaced. We were told that they had no idea when the part would come in. Maybe in 2016. We are driving around with an unsafe airbag. Has NHTSA set a deadline for replacement of the airbags" this delay is scary and frustration. Mazda is in no hurry what steps can we take to the airbags replace now"
