need an answer fast PLEASEI thinking of buying a mazda6. it was dead at the dealer because someone left the dome light on. they changed the battery and it runs great but the airbag light wont go off. the said the battery dying probably caused this and can be corrected when i buy the car for free. could this be true? it has a clean carfax and is in perfect condition.im test driving it for the weekend and have to make a decision by 6 tom.

Replying to: jeffyscott (Aug 15, 2009 4:25 am) - it mainly occurs on hot days when the car has been sitting for a few hours - the key turns, dashboard lights light up and it just cranks - i've had the battery, inhibitor switch and fuel pump replaced and the problem is still there - it's an automatic and i've tried moving the gear shift from park to neutral and back to park with no luck - i have to sit there and wait for 10 minutes or more and keep trying and then it will randomly start my car is almost to the end of the warranty and mazda canada's response to me is it's up to the discretion of the dealership whether they'll continue to try and fix this at no charge even though this problem occurred within the warranty period. |

Replying to: artemis88 (Aug 17, 2009 2:05 pm) This has happened to me and others on this board. My issue was with the safety mechanism that keeps the car from starting if the clutch is not engaged (or if the car is not in park for automatic transmissions). I too threw a lot of money at this before we finally figured out that if the car would not start I could just take my foot off of the clutch and re engage it and the car would start. Of course it was out of warranty (mine's an '03). Unfortunately, it sounds like your problem is a bit different in that the car actually cranks. But still - it sounds awfully familiar. Have you tried taking the key out, then shifting the gear shift? I realize that I am probably no real help, here - but thought I would put in my .02.
