What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 mazda 3. While driving 35 MPH, the contact's vehicle was rear-ended by another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. Two passengers seated in the rear of the vehicle were taken to the hospital. The contact and another passenger were also injured. A police report was filed. The contact feels that the vehicle is unsafe and the manufacturer should be responsible. The current and failure mileages were 33,000.
I have an airbag light that came on. I took it to the dealer who did an estimate and told me a module in the driver side airbag in the steering wheel was no good and that a new airbag needed to be installed. They said until then non of my airbags would be working in the car. The cost was going to be between 1, 500-2, 000 to replace the part and reprogram the vehicle restraint control module.
