“This is a complaint about Mazda. I have brought my vehicle in 3 times, after they confirmed an appointment and stated they had the part. All three times it appears whoever makes the appointment doesn't communicate with the dealer Service Center. I have the FOURTH appointment this Wednesday at Royal Motors, San Francisco. I will call a day ahead to make sure the part is there before I bring it in. I know it's an older vehicle and they have to order parts. They made the appointment for me, after saying the part was in. Bad communication. Sincerely Yours, [XXX] , INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)”Owner report · Air Bags · Nov 2024
“I received a recall notice from mazda. I am in hawaii. Mazda has moved off of this island. I can not get in touch with anyone at mazda as their 800-222-5500 number does not answer. This recall regards the inflator of the airbag exploding due to humidity and temperature fluctuations. Hawaii = humidity. I seemingly have no recourse as neither the provided mazda number does not answer 800-222-5500 nor does anyone pick up at the NHTSA number provided in the recall notice 888-327-4236. Is there anybody who can give me information?”Owner report · Air Bags · May 2021
