Consumer Description

SEAT TRACK-OCCUPANT SENSOR RIGHT BCN167SW0A LIGHT FLASHES ON DASHBOARD WHEN CAR IS TURNED ON. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED IN 2012. MAZDA WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THIS ANY LONGER, BUT IT SHOULD. I BELIEVE MAZDA HAS A LEGAL OBLIGATION TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AT NO COST BECAUSE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IN FIVE YEARS.
