IS RECALLING 2,323 OWNER-INSTALLED ROOF-MOUNTED FIT KITS, MODELS 3068 AND 3069, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JANUARY 1, 2008 AND FEBRUARY 28, 2009 THAT ARE USED WITH THULE PODIUM FOOT PACKS, MODELS 460 AND 460R.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN REPLACING THE AIRBAG THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. WHEN TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK FOR SECOND AIRBAG REPLACEMENT THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE LIGHT HAD COME ON. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS A COINCIDENCE AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THEY HAD JUST WORKED ON THE SYSTEM. I WONDER IF THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AND WHAT IS THE FAIL RATE OF THE SEAT SENSOR AT THE TIME OF WORK BEING DONE OR IF THIS IS A WAY TO RECOUP MONEY FOR THE SERVICE.

TAKATA RECALL AND HORN AND PASSENGER DOOR LOCK. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE SUSPENSION RECALL AND AIR BAGS TO GALPIN IN VAN NUYS CA. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND THE SUSPENSION WAS DONE BUT NOT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE REASON FROM THE MAZDA SERVICE MGR WAS SINCE MY PASSENGER DOOR IS BROKEN ( THE LOCK) HE COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR SO HE DID NOT WORK ON THE AIR BAG. I CAN NOT AFFORD THE 200.00 THAT IT WILL TAKE TO FIX AND REPLACE MY PASSENGER DOOR LOCK. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE MY DOOR FIXED BY MAZDA AND THEN DO THE REPAIR WORK ON THE RECALLED AIR BAG. THE DOOR LOCK JUST BROKE ON ITS OWN AND I PAID CASH FOR MY CAR BRAND BMW FROM GALPIN. ALSO I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY MAZDA EMBLEM IN THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL BLEW OFF AND LANDED IN NY LAP!! I WAS NOT USING THE HORN. I NOW HAVE NO HORN AND HAVE LOOKED AT THE FUSE AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT HAPPEN HERE. YOU CAN SEE THAT MY MAZDA EMBLEM IS BROKEN ALL THE WAY AROUND THIS PIECE?? SOMEONE SAID THAT SINCE THERE IS AN AIR BAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL I NEED TO BUY A NEW STEERING WHEEL? REALLY? I AM A SENIOR ON MY SOCIAL SECURITY RETIREMENT ..I AM NOT ABLE TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS FIXED AT HUNDREDS AN HUNDEDS OF DOLLARS. HOWEVER IF MY AIR BAG HAS A RECALL AND THEY DIDN'T FIX IT SINCE MY DOOR LOCK IS BROKEN AND THEY COULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR. WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST I DO? PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY INFO YOU HAVE AT [XXX] OR EMAIL AT: [ XXX] THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).?*JB

TOOK CAR TO MAZDA FOR AIRBAG RECALL, REPLACED AIRBAG BUT MAZDA TELLS ME THE ACTUAL SENSOR THAT TELLS THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY DOES NOT WORK AND ITS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT. PRIOR TO THE RECALL THE SENSOR DID NOT COME UP ON THE DASH AFTER THE RECALL I NOW HAVE A LIGHT ON MY DASH AND MAZDA IS TELLING ME ITS 700.00 TO REPLACE FIX AND PART AND LABOR. ELECTRICAL CAR SHORTS OUT ALL THE TIME, WINDOWS, ENGINE, LIGHTS WORK ONE DAY NOT THE NEXT WHEN DOORS OPEN. CAR STALLS OUT WHEN DRIVING AND SYSTEM REBOOTS. OTHER ISSUE IS I HAVE SPENT 7 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REPAIRS ON THIS CAR. I HAVE BLACK SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPES, IVE REPLACED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN PARTS. ENGINE LIGHT WONT GO OFF. I TOOK IT FINALLY TO AUTO ZONE FOR A FREE ENGINE DIAGNOSIS TO GET A PRINT OUT AND NOW THE EMISSIONS VALVES ARE SHOWING FAULTY. ITS BURNING 2 QUARTS OF OIL ABOUT EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS/MONTHLY BASIS. IVE REPLACED MOTOR MOUNTS, COOLANT/OIL PARTS, AIR COMPRESSOR, HEADLIGHTS, BUMBER, WIPER BLADES, ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANELS, ROCKER ARMS, SPOILERS THAT HAVE CRACKED WITH WEATHER, THE CAR STILL NEEDS ANOTHER MOTOR MOUNT, I NOW HAVE A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE LIKE ITS THE LIFTERS AND I STILL HAVE ANOTHER YEAR ON THIS 5 YEAR LOAN ON THIS CAR. I HAVE TO KEEP ROLLING PAYMENTS TO THE BACK OF THE LOAN TO KEEP UP WITH THE REPAIRS. ITS VERY FRUSTRATING. IVE NEVER HAD THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH ANY CAR I HAVE PURCHASED EVER!!!

SCHEDULED SERVICE AND FOR THE RECALL AND TOOK CAR IN JULY 19TH - WHEN PICKED UP THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART (SCHEDULED 1 1/2 WEEKS IN ADVANCE) AND WE HAD TO WAIT FOR THE RECALL LETTER. CALLED MAZDA DIRECTLY WHO TOLD US THEY ONLY NEEDED THE VIN. MAZDA CONTACTED LIBERTY AND SPOKE TO ROB AND HAD THEM ORDER THE PART. SCHEDULED FOR AUG. 23RD. LIBERTY SAID THEY STILL DIDN'T HAVE THE PART AND THAT MAZDA (IN CA) ORDERED IT FROM THE WRONG WAREHOUSE (GA) SO IT MAY NOT BE IN UNTIL MAYBE SATURDAY. I CALLED MAZDA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALER WAS ORDERING THE PART. JUST CALLED LIBERTY MAZDA TODAY AND GOT THE SAME STORY THAT MAZDA (CA) WAS ORDERING THE PART AND THEY SAW AN INVOICE THERE BUT HAD NO IDEA WHEN IT WOULD BE IN. I FEEL THAT LIBERTY MAZDA IS GIVING US THE RUN AROUND. WE ALREADY BROUGHT THE CAR IN ONCE FOR THE RECALL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. NOW WE KEEP GETTING TOLD THAT A PART THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ORDERED ON AUG. 17TH MAY NOT BE IN UNTIL AFTER THE 27TH? NOT SURE HOW PARTS ARE SHIPPED BUT I CALLED ANOTHER LOCAL DEALER YESTERDAY (AUG 23) WHO SAID IF HE ORDERED THE PART THAT DAY HE SHOULD HAVE IT BY SATURDAY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET RESOLVED SINCE JULY 19TH!
