12/02/2014 ODI #10661804.0

I had taken my car to the dealership three times in 2012 because the airbag icon had come on. The 3rd time I had it in was in march of 2012 just before the warranty expired. At no time were they able to find the problem. With the more recent recall because of airbag problems, I asked if I could bring my car in again to be checked as the airbag icon had remained on most of the time. I took it in on 10/09/14. The problem was found, but Mazda would not cover the cost of over $1000.00. I am on a fixed income and not able to pay for the repair. Mazda's solution was to remove or disengage my airbag. (I don't know which) I was told not to get into an accident as my airbag would not deploy. I do not feel this is a fair or safe solution to the problem. Can you help? *js

12/16/2008 50,425 mi ODI #10252048.0

I have had my Mazda 6 for 2 years. Two days ago, it got very cold, and when I drove the next day, I heard this squeaky noise from the steering column and from the suspension when turning. Not sure what problem is, but it seemed that once the engine was warm the squeaking was gone. I did check the power steering fluid, and it was low, so power steering fluid was added. Also added brake fluid due to it was also low. I heard problem slightly the day after a little. Hopefully the power steering fluid will solve the problem. If it persists, I will call the dealership. Please advise if there has been any other complaints on this. My car currently has over 50,000 miles, and this is the first sounds I have heard. *tr
