On 4 different occasions, the service airbag indicator has turned on in my car. It has been in the service department each time with work listed as connections cleaned, sensor checked, warning reset. . . . . But no replacement parts and nothing noted as defective. I've been told putting a lap top on the passenger seat could set off the sensor. . . . . A blue-tooth call could set off the sensor, but not why? most recent trip (#5) to hendricks motors was 04/24/2014. We picked the car up, ran errands (appx. 40 miles) and the light is on again - the same day! I have been told the air bags will still deploy, the air bags might deploy, and the air bags will not deploy, as long as the service light is on. What is my next step? I am trying to document everything in case there is an accident and the bags don't deploy.
