NHTSA Complaint #10776465 — 2010 MAZDA MAZDA6

THIS IS THE THIRD COMPLAINT I HAVE FILED REGARDING THE MELTING DASHBOARD. I FORGOT TO MENTION IN THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT THAT THE MELTING PASSENGER DASHBOARD IS ACTUALLY NOT A TRUE DASHBOARD, IT IS AN AIRBAG FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER. I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE MELTING, PERMANENT, EXTREMELY STIKY, SEMI LIQUID EXTERIOR OF THE AIRBAG WILL FAIL TO RUPTURE PROPERLY ALLOWING FOR NORMAL DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. IT MAY RUPTURE TOO EASILY CAUSING DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE, POSSIBLY BREAKING THE NECK OF A CHILD OR INJURING AN ADULT. IT COULD NOT RUPTURE COMPLETELY CAUSING A LAG IN THE TIME OF DEPLOYMENT AND MAY NOT INFLATE COMPLETELY. IT COULD ALSO POSSIBLY PREVENT DEPLOYMENT COMPLETELY. IN ADDITION TO CAUSING DEFECTS IN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT BLINDNESS OR EYE INJURY AS WELL AS SKIN INJURY CAN OCCUR AT TIME OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CAUSED BY AN EXPLOSION OF THE STIKY LIQUIDATED AIRBAG SURFACE SPRAYING INTO THE FACE, EYES, AND MOUTH OF PASSENGERS. THE LIQUIFYING AIRBAG SURFACE MIGHT ALSO LEAK INTO INTERNAL AIRBAG COMPONENTS CAUSING MALFUNCTION. REMER THAT WHEN SOMEONE REFERS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD MELTING, IT IS ACTUALLY THE SURFACE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. I AM A PROFESSIONAL CAREER AUTOMOBILE MECHANIC WITH OVER TEN YEARS EXPERIENCE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM.
