#8 of 10 Mazda Tribute airbag defect by ciam5623

I am wondering why Mazda is not being held accountable for the faulty airbag system. There are serious safety defects within the design, construction and performance of the airbag system on the Tributes. A defect trend exists and as of yet there is no recall. The airbags will not deploy in accident if the airbag light is on and this light is constantly on no matter how many times Mazda fixes it. You cannot drive this car with confidence due to this safety issue. It is mandated by the United States government that all cars have functioning airbags therefore, Mazda is breaking the law.

speed and how bad car is wrecked are irrelevant to if the bags should go off. it goes by how much impact to the passengers. the more the car crushes the least likly to go off. rule of thumb..if you didnt get hurt they should have gone off.
