When the vehicle is started the red airbag light comes on and will not go off. Occasionally when there is a passenger and the passenger airbag light comes on the red airbag light will go off. It is my concern that the airbag will not deploy when it should or it will deploy when it shouldn't. I am very concerned about this. The car has never been wrecked and the airbags have never been deployed. This all happens either stationary and/or in motion.
Airbag light comes on intermittently. This is a safety concern, since appearance of this light may indicate that airbag would not deploy in the event of an impact. The dealership checked the care and cleared the code, and advised to keep an eye on this should the light come back on. I have checked online and this seems to be a pervasive issue with this particular model year and even years following this. In some cases there have been recalls that involved software issues. I spoke with the dealership and they advised that they could change the sensors, but this runs about $2500 and there is no warranty that it would resolve the issue of the intermittent appearance of the airbag light. Shouldn't this involve an official recall, since it is such a common problem for this model and shouldn't the manufacturer be researching a solution to ensure driver/passenger safety?.
