Service airbag light has come on 3x in the life of this vehicle (at 99,500 miles currently). First was for right front airbag sensor. - replaced at a cost of 300+ dollars around 65k miles. Second was seat sensor - recalibrated it, no charge. Now at 99,500 miles my left front airbag sensor is bad. - replaced it myself at a cost of $100. Airbag issues at this low of mileage is unacceptable.

Airbag light indicator light does not turn off. Service air bag indicator is on when there has been no accident or bump to the vehicles.
