| Our 2006 mazda 6 gt was totaled in a wreck in which it flipped 4 or more times on the highway and then into the median. the speed at the time accident occured was 70 mph. not one of the 6 equipped air bags was deployed. i contacted mazda customer service and was told that apparently none of the sensors were tripped and this is not uncommon. i find it hard to believe that not one of 6 would trip in an accident that violent. my insurance also didn't seem to think it was an issue. this is problem because most of us believe that our airbags will protect us in most any wreck, especially one in which you are flipping on pavement. thank god there were no major injuries, no thanks to airbags. | |||

| I was driving on northbound 71 near louisville, ky when a vehicle entered the freeway and cut me off. i avoided a collision with him but the vehicle behind me hit me multiple times in multiple locations, spinning me across the freeway. one was a side impact hit which forced my head into the driver's side window, breaking it. i had six airbags in my 2006 mazda 6 and none of them deployed. the rates of speed being traveled were at approximately 55 miles per hour. i was harmed but not enough to warrant a lawsuit according to lawyers, yet my equipment failed to protect me in my vehicle. my vehicle is now totaled as well. | |||
