I was slowing down to stop behind another car at a red light and my car slowed down but did not fully stop. I barely bumped the car in front of me at probably less than 5 miles per hour but my air bags went off. There was no damage to my car other than the air bags exploding and my insurance company wants to total my car because of the air bags exploding. I have second degree burns and a cut from the air bag.

On July 15 I was driving at a low speed and my air bag light came on. It randomly flashes and sometimes stays on for 2 to 3 days. It has not been fixed due to the cost of repairing it. If the air bag explodes while I am driving this could be fatal to myself, my 1 year old son and my 12 year old son. Every Mazda SUV / truck from 2004 has a recall except mine. The recall needs to extend to the Tribute because there is obviously a serious issue that's needs to be corrected.

Concerning takata/Mazda airbag recall, I purchased my used 2004 Mazda Tribute dx from Santa Fe (nm) Mazda Volvo dealer October 2006. Then I shipped it via crowley shipping to my permanent residence in St. John, U.S. virgin islands...where it has been continually in use from 2007-to present. St. john, us virgin islands is a high humidity area. Your online recall qualifying area mentions just puerto rico, so before I am diverted or put off by Mazda, I wish to know if I actually qualify. On top of this, at time of purchase it was not pointed out to me that the used car was an official "lemon law buyback. I did not see the plaque affixed to the frame of the car until after it was shipped here and I was washing top to bottom to get shipping sea salt off. I am 70 and live alone, never even occurred to me to think of such a thing. I have had to replace all of the major parts of the car over the last 7 years, so now I am really worried about the air bag.

Air bag warning light. Dealer diagnosis was that code B1877 and B1994 need 2 harnesses for side air bags and 2 harnesses for pretensioner. Vehicle has never been in accident. Well maintained iaw manufacturer recommendations. If this is a frequent problem perhaps the manufacturer should issue a recall. Estimated cost to repair $900.

- Newport News, VA, USA

I have had air bag harness replaced three times now and according to Mazda it has now caused my air bag module to short out. This would seem to be a safety recall which Mazda does not want to own up to. I am concerned for safety of passenger in car and cost for replacement is becoming absorbent and any investigation into this safety concern would be appreciated.
