TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MAZDA MPV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WAS FAULTY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V773000 (AIR BAGS). HOWEVER, THE RECALL ONLY INCLUDED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG WAS DISCONTINUED AND THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

WHY DOES RECALL ONLY COVER THE PASSENGERS SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR? WHAT COMPANY MANUFACTURED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR? I WOULD LIKE THE DRIVERS SIDE REPLACED ALSO.

I TRIED TO LIFT THE GAS PEDAL WITH MY FOOT BY JAMMING IT UNDERNEATH THE PEDAL AND PULLING IT UP, BUT IT FLOATED FREELY AND CONTINUED TO FALL BACK TO ITS FULL-THROTTLE POSITION. ALTHOUGH I WAS CONFIDENT THAT THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM I PULLED IT AWAY FROM THE PEDALS AND, AS EXPECTED, THERE WAS NO EFFECT. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF MY VAN BY APPLYING EXTREMELY HEAVY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE WHILE SHIFTING BETWEEN NEUTRAL AND DRIVE.
