Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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 occurred 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 air bags 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 air bags. *nm
