"service air bag" dic message and dashboard air bag warning icon came on intermittently. Then it came on and stayed on for a while - long enough to log a code. This occurred intermittently while driving around town and on the highway. The dealer said it needed an air bag harness. They told me the connection points of the wiring loosen up over time and give a different circuit resistance reading that the computer reads as a fault. That will cost 3 hours of labor and many dollars for the replacement harness. I am waiting for the harness to come on now. But this vehicle exhibits the same symptoms that were covered in a 2014 recall program. The 2014 repair was done, and now the same thing has happened. Something is wrong here. I was told it is okay to drive but be aware that if the warning light is lit, the air bags will not deploy.
