The vin is for my 1996 mazda miata. My complaint is the m291 going west bound to 350 highway in raytown that veers to the west. The exit, seems to dangerous with concrete blocks seperating lanes. My second inquiry is a possible car wreck that my daughter, [xxx] may have been involved in. She drove a green and black mustang ford convertible. We live apart and as she is a young adult like most, as a mother, i don't get enough info, sometimes. 2006 found me witnessing her car or one that looked like it overturned on 350 highway going westbound on the cloverleaf to m291/470 highway. An ambulance was there and the passenger, her friend outside of the car. I have seen her since then, so obviously she seems alright and safe, however, i would sure be appreciative if someone could follow up on that if anything seems askew. Her address at the time was [xxx] where she lived with her own father, [xxx]. Her date of birth is 1/29/89. I am [xxx]- of [xxx]. My driver's license # is [xxx]. Thank you. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr

Air bag comes on and stays on after starting vehicle. Diagnostic code indicates srs module is at fault or could be electrical connection per dealer. Dealer indicated srs module is not available even if it is determined as the failure after removing dash to access module. Vehicle only has 64, 000 miles. Vehicle will not pass safety inspection in some states which makes a mint car worthless and unsafe to drive.

When i start my car, all the indicator lights come on briefly and then go out - brakes, abs, seat belt, oil, etc. The air bag light also comes on, as it should. But then it stays on and does not go out. My mechanic told me that the problem was due to a faulty air bag control module, which needed to be replaced. But they then told me that mazda no longer makes this part and that it is not available. They also said that the air bag would not deploy unless the module is replaced and that it would not pass inspection in virginia.

Takata recall. Air bag light comes on continuously after turning engine on, never goes off. I bought the car new, and took it back to the dealer. Dealer said that it was not covered on any recalls. I was informed that there was a recall on the late 1995 models, but not the early 1996 ones. I was also informed that it would cost me $900 to $1000 to fix. At that time, it had to remain unfixed, and the light has been on continuously since. I am still apprehensive when i turn the key and drive it.
