What 39 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Mazda Cx-70 Phev

TAKATA RECALL - HOW LONG DOES MAZDA HAVE TO REPAIR THIS AS THEY KEEP SAYING THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE? I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE HUMIDITY IS VERY HIGH. NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT IDEAL. WHAT RECALL DO I HAVE AND WHAT CAN I DO IF ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR? THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE STEERING ON MY VEHICLE AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE PER THE MAZDA WEBSITE. WHAT RECALL DO I HAVE ON THIS? DOESN'T SOUND LIKE CAR IS VERY SAFE WITH BOTH OF THESE RECALLS.

MAZDA HAS NOT COMPLETED THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HAVE BEEN GETTING RECALL NOTICES FOR MONTHS TELLING ME THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT I SHOULD NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. MY CAR IS A FAMILY VEHICLE, I NEED TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY FRONT SEAT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

GOT A RECALL ALERT IN THE MAIL IN OCT 2016 BUT STATES THEY WILL REACH OUT WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IT'S ALMOST MARCH 2017 AND THEY ARE STILL SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. THE DESCRIPTION IN THE RECALL REFERENCES SALT IN THE WINTER ULTIMATELY CORRODING THE BALL JOINT. SOUNDS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO ME.
