When driving the message comes on that the passenger side airbag is off. The message appears constantly. I have called Acura in torrance CA. The message went away,but it is constantly appearing . They gave me a reference number b012014-06-2701911. They said that they will investigate my VIN # to see if there is a problem. In the meantime my passenger side airbag is inactive. The message is still on my computer screen. I am worried I am taking the car in to the dealer. I think that Acura is trying to play down the seriousness of this. Thank you.
