Takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 Mazda 6. the contact received notification of a manufacturer's recall for the air bags. The dealer asked the contact to call back more than twice to determine when the parts would become available. Each time the contact called the dealer, they stated again to follow up and call back. The manufacturer had the dealer schedule an appointment and the parts were not available to receive the recall repair according to the dealer. The contact was unable to determine when the recall repair would be performed for several months, which was unreasonable. The manufacturer was also unable to provide a reasonable time frame for the parts to be sent to the dealer to receive the recall repair. The contact was not experiencing any failures. The VIN not available.

I was notified in February of 2015 that they were recalling the air bags. I got another letter in the mail in August, notifying me that I will be notified about when to make an appointment to get them repaired. No one has gotten back to me and I'm still driving with the faulty air bags.

Dissatisfied that nothing is being done about the airbag safety issue. There is no working phone number to call and we have been driving this car many miles, knowing that the airbags are not safe!

I received the safety recall letter dated 07/2015 for the driver air bag inflator interim repair- safety recall 7914J NHTSA campaign no. 15V-345 & 15V-382. I went to Mazda dealership to have repair done, I was told that part had to be ordered and was told that part would be in on October 1st, on October 2nd I went to get my car repaired and was told that part was never ordered and that was just a "prompt" letter, and not to worry about it. But I am sending this complaint because I am very concern. I would like for something to be done about getting my car fixed....thanks
