I have had my 2012 Acura Tl to the dealership and told the tech about the airbag sensor being displayed since I bought the car. I had it to the dealership for that one reason one time and the other 2x�s, I just mentioned it as I got my oil change and cabin filter. Nothing or no one is in the seat; however it keeps blinking off and on. I have someone in the front seat of my car a lot and I hope that it is not a defect in airbag that would injure someone. I hope it would deploy if it needed to. I have 60,000 miles and have had sooooo many problems with this car. Just had to replace alternator (first time)and battery(for the second time in 2 years). Acura will not do anything as it is already out of warranty. In warranty Acura customer service is great. Out of warranty�they don't really care. Thank you for your time.
