1 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 10/26/2020

My vehicle shows zero recalls so it had the airbag replacement but the airbag light now comes on which I think indicates that the new airbag has malfunctioned. It seems they still used another inferior airbag product or maybe didn't actually replace the old one. The airbag warning light comes on when the car is cranked and stays on. This started happening a few years ago shortly after the airbag "repair" was made by a dealership and the airbag warning light will sometimes be off and sometimes be on. I don't recall the exact date the repair was made but , it seems it was improperly repaired.
