2010 Mazda Mazda5 Complaints

ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. THIS IS ABOUT MY 5TH EXPERIENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA MAZDA5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS THE ENGINE WAS IGNITED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 155,000.

MAYBE TAKATA RECALL - OUR MAZDA 5 WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT ON MARCH 12. WE WENT TO DRIVE THE CAR AND FOUND THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF THE CAR WAS COVERED IN A FINE POWDER. THE GLOVE BOX WAS OPEN. WE CONCLUDED THAT THE INFLATOR FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG POSITION HAD GONE OFF ON ITS OWN. THE AIRBAG ITSELF DID NOT DEPLOY. WE THEN DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, (ABOUT 1 MILE).

AIRBAG LIT AND BLINKING ON THE DASH BOARD PANEL. I TOOK IT TO MAZDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECK BUT I WAS TOLD TO PAY $150.00 JUST TO DIAGNOSTIC TEST PLUS LABOR & PARTS WHEN REPAIR IS WILL BE DONE BY THEM. IS THIS PART OF SAFETY RECALL ? FOR AIRBAGS .

I BOUGHT THE CAR LAST DECEMBER 2015, AND IT IS ALREADY BLINKING. I'M NOT REALLY EXACTLY SURE WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY STARTED THIS PROBLEM AND I BELIEVED IT'S IN THE DRIVERS SIDE "AIR BAG" .
