1) airbag didnt deploy during a right angle (T bone) accident at an intersection.. the driver (me) systained head and face / chest injuries. 2) since new the right rear brake on my non ABS car lockes up very easily, and has caused a spin out in several cases, on wet surfaces. A dealer tried to do something, but it has not corrected the problem. Further, when I wrote Mazda customer service hq, they simply said to go back to a dealer for their judgement / action to correct the problem.
