NHTSA — Air Bags: Side/Window Problems

CarComplaints.com Notes: Except for a minor issue with cracked motor mounts, the 2008 MAZDA3 is a fantastic vehicle with a great reputation.

If you need to replace the motor mounts, first ask your dealer if they'll cover it -- the motor mounts were dealt with in a TSB & were recalled for some model years. Otherwise buy aftermarket motor mounts -- owners report this solves the problem. If you use the same OEM parts, they may just crack again.

Turning left on a T junction when some one ran a red light and crashed into my driverside front and rear doors. The hit was hard enough to pin the steering wheel with the smashed in door, but the side airbags did not go off. No corrective action was taken as the vehicle was titled as a total loss.
