NHTSA Complaint #10825286 — 2011 MAZDA MAZDA3

THE DRIVERS SEAT WILL SOMETIMES COME OUT OF ITS TRACK, AND NOT LOCK IN SECURELY. WHEN THE SEAT IS LOCKED, IT SEEMS TO BE OK, BUT IF I SHOULD MOVE THE SEAT FORWARD TO ACCOMMODATE FOR A REAR PASSENGER ITS LIKE THE SEAT WILL NOT SIT SQUARELY IN THE TRACK, AND IT WILL EITHER SINK, OR ELEVATE AT ONE CORNER AND SLIDE FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS. ITS DANGEROUS IF I WERE TO HIT MY BRAKES, THE SEAT WOULD MOVE FORWARD INADVERTENTLY CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES. ALSO, THERE APPEARS TO BE AN AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT THAT WILL FLASH ON MY DASHBOARD. THIS SEEMS OCCUR AT RANDOM TIMES, THE RED LIGHT WILL FLASH INDICATING SOME SORT OF ERROR WITH THE AIRBAG. I'M NOT SURE IF ITS A LOOSE CONNECTION, OR AN ACTUAL PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG. WHEN I ALERTED THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR EITHER OF THESE ISSUES. I MENTIONED THAT THESE WERE MOST LIKELY SAFETY ISSUES, NOT LIKE I WANTED FREE TIRES OR A NEW WATER PUMP OR BATTERY OR SOMETHING. JUST ADDRESS WHAT COULD BE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION WITH MY VEHICLE.
