TAKATA RECALL: ITS BEEN 6 MONTHS, AND IT'S A REAL HARDSHIP WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS IN MY PRIMARY AUTOMOBILE.

I ALSO RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPLACEMENT, I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE IN AUGUST WITH NO FURTHER COMMUNICATION FROM MAZDA OR MY DEALERSHIP.

I WANT TO IMPLORE YOU TO MAKE MAZDA RECALL THIS MAKE/MODEL, WITH THEM KNOWING THEY HAVE A FAULTY VVT/TIMING CHAIN ISSUE, THAT HAS AFFECTED HUNDREDS,IF NOT THOUSANDS OF CAR OWNERS, PUTTING THEIR SAFETY AT RISK. I HAVE NOT MYSELF, HAD THE ISSUES YET, THAT ARE WELL DOCUMENTED,BUT UNFORTUNATELY I DID PURCHASE THIS CAR, AND IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT MAZDA WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM.
