What owners wrote
Nov. 2015 I was involved in a accident on I435 in which the airbags deployed which I inhaled the gas, which disoriented me for awhile. After regaining my senses discovered my vehicle was totaled.
I tried to call a dealer at mazda but they do not call me back for the recall. I will try again but I think they going to charged me. I can't afford it. How can you help me please? I can't drive at night because the front light has fog inside and I can't barely see. I can't stop quick because the break are bad and trembling the whole car including the wheel. The air bags on the computer signal is on all the time as well for the light. The breaks are really bad ! Most of the time on the highway.
