CarComplaints.com Notes: The MAZDA6 was redesigned for the 2009 model year. Like any first-year product, it has a few growing pains – most notably a shiny, melting dashboard that can blind the driver.

Takata recall: In late June 2017 I made an appointment three days in advance to have a routine service and to have the recall work completed at perry Mazda of santa barbara. On arrival I was informed the required parts were not in stock. I was told I would be called when the parts arrived. I was never called. On August 1, I left a voice mail with a service tech asking if the parts were in. I never received a response. In mid-augustt, I went to the dealer's service department in person. I was told the parts would arrive the next day and that a service tech would call me the next day. I never received a call. The recall work remains undone.

Takata recall there have been two recalls in the last few months on the front passenger airbag of my car. They "fixed" both problems but are still telling me my passenger side airbag won't work in an accident without me paying $500 for them to replace a third part of the airbag system. It is clear to me this entire passenger side airbag is faulty and if they are messing with the lives of their consumers by extorting safety for money when they know the flaw is in their own installation/parts they are an unethical brand. It seems more likely that they are insisting on this purchase in exchange for safety so they can make back some of the money that the previous recalls have cost them. Either way, the recall needs to be expanded to include whatever additional components might be damaged due to Mazda. It is not feasible that three components of my passenger seat airbag have gone wrong in the last few months but the only two under recall were not the issue. They are telling me the current issue requires an replacement of the entire air bag module.

"takata recall" I just finally had my passenger side airbag repaired, after nearly a year of effort and two separate recalls. I was working with dgdg auto group, who own both capitol Mazda and steven's creek Mazda in san jose, ca. I have been trying to get this resolved since I received the first recall in 2016. I have been told that parts were not in stock, that I had to wait for the indicator light to change from flashing to solid or vice versa. Even the experience the last two days has be substandard, but I won't list the reasons for that. I just wanted to record my extreme frustration getting this glaring safety issue resolved. I love my Mazda, by dgdg are terrible.

Hello: There has been 2 recalls on my vehicle, both regarding airbag. The SAS unit recall has been without a remedy since August 2016. The second recall regarding airbag inflator has been without a remedy since January 2017. For such serious safety recalls, I am disappointed that there has been no remedy for almost a year.

Takata recall my vehicle has been at the dealership since early August 2016, within a week or two of my receiving the first recall regarding the takata airbag. Another recall relating to another airbag was received later in the year. To date the dealership and Mazda still cannot provide an estimate of when the parts will be available to address the recall. The dealer won't buy it because of the recall and as a result I was forced to buy a new car while my 2009 Mazda6 sits for 6 months in the shop and I'm unable to drive it.
