Description of the problem | Passenger sas ( airbag,sideair bag,seatbeltpretensioner ) without reason turns off and on. My wife ( 96 lb ) is not a child as defined by their literature ( 66 lb ). My wife is consequently rendered protected and then without reason, unprotected by the sas system built into the vehicle. Mazda's position is that she should sit in the back seat. This vehicle is unsafe for her. Mazda will do nothing but offer me platitudes, but no solution to this unsafe situation. This is clearly bad engineering and design, putting many people in harms way. [xxx] vehicle sold by gunther mazda fort lauderdale. Fla information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
