3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/17/2022

3 passenger side air bags were activated while drivng at a very slow speed as I was preparing to unload 3 children in a school drop off area.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/04/2018

The abs module stopped functioning for brakes and airbags. The dealership currently has the car and does not know why it malfunctioned. Their explanation is that the abs module went bad and it is not drivable because the brakes might lock and possibly set off the airbags. I am concerned this may effect other vehicles as it is a costly fix. The bill is currently $2,400 and they are unsure if that will fix the problem, or if it will cost more money to figure out the issue.

Takata recall. I have not had an official recall notice for the takata airbags, but I did receive a class action notice in the mail on Dec. 11, 2017. This is the reason why I am filling out this form. At the time that I checked on the website, it did not list my car as one of those being recalled, but said that it could be recalled at a later date.

Takata recall the passenger" air bag is off" icon is on all the time in the upper right hand corner of the dash. Only have 25,000 miles on the car and there isn't anyone sitting in the passenger seat. Does not go off if someone is sitting in the passenger seat.
