NHTSA — Air Bags Problems

2007 Mazda MAZDA3 (Page 2 of 2)

CarComplaints.com Seal Of Pretty Good

CarComplaints.com Notes: Except for a minor issue with cracked motor mounts, the 2007 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.

In March 2008, my vehicle had warning lights turn on for both the seat belt and ABS system. The dealer cleared the code and checked the system for errors. No codes re-occurred and the car was returned to me. Subsequently in December 2008, the airbag light came on again. The dealer adjusted some wiring and cleared the light/code. Now in September 2011, the airbag light is on again.

I was on a local highway in western NY when I caught black ice. I was going approximately 45-55 mph/ the car went into a slide which I almost corrected out of but hit more black ice sending me into the guardrail. The front end of the car is smashed and I came to rest about 25 ft from where I impacted the guardrail. No air bags went off and I was not hurt. But at that speed the airbags should have deployed. I'm not seeking any compensation but from doing a bit of research I am finding that this has happened more than a few times. Maybe a recall is in order for the 2007 Mazda 3 4 dr sedan is in order?
