What owners wrote
I have a 2007 mazda rx-8 and I was recently involved in a side impact collision, but my airbags did not deploy, but later on in the body shop, they did deploy after the fact while it was being driven. There is an obvious safety issue related to this and why the airbag did not deploy properly.
