There is a recall on my airbags and I'm just wondering how many letters and warnings I'm going to get before they do something about it. I have had no less than four warnings and yet no parts and no solution. They either need to fix it or stop warning me about it. I know it's crap, they don't need to tell me it's crap every 4 months and then refuse to fix it.

Takata recall the lack of information about getting this repaired ("no parts are available" is the only info I have) is unacceptable. On top of that, I just sat on hold for almost a half hour waiting for my call to be answered, and the rep picked up, acted like she couldn't hear me on the phone and hung up on me. I have a letter saying I shouldn't let people ride in the front seat of my car because its unsafe, but then Mazda's site says oh its safe enough, never mind my driver's airbag where I sit to drive the [xxx] car is affected too. Mazda has to get its act together and get these things fixed immediately. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
