Had recall for defective airbags. Took vehicle to dealer and they replaced both drivers side and passenger side air bags. I have received second recall notice to have the passenger side replaced again as the one they originally replaced it with is defective to. If the passenger side is defective then so the drivers side is to. Want to know why drivers side isn't going to be replaced.

- vehicle is subject to takata airbag recall. Located in zone a - received multiple notices in mail since 2016. - Mazda website does not acknowledge a recall exists when trying to schedule an appointment - they acknowledge it when phoned in - recall always quoted to take a day, with no alternate Transport available. Despite mailer saying free alternative Transport available. I've tried multiple times. - I need a vehicle - always. Right now my choice is to continue driving my car (at risk of 'serious injury or death') or lose my livelihood.

Takata recall - initial recall for this unit was June 2014. No action has been taken by manufacturer to date, contacting them I was told that no replacement parts are available, and they have no timeline estimate for parts availability. This recall has been active now for almost 2.5 years with no action on the part of the manufacturer, and is not being dealt with in a timely manner.
