What owners wrote
The airbag deflated when I was involved in a car accident september 25, 2015. I suffered a fractured sternum from the airbag and severely multiple fractures in right ankle. This car was totaled. The accident was not my fault, the other car moved into my lane and I struck it head on.
All of a sudden our car started making a horrific sound, especially when accelerating. We took it to a mechanic who had to replace the timing chain kit and tensioner assemblies. Doing simple online searches for this problem, this appears to be a major issue with a lot of mazda vehicles, yet still there has not been a recall covering this issue.
