Air bag sensor came on and off for a while after warranty on the bag had just expired. I was told by the dealer who sold it to me new that I had to replace the entire bag, which I did. Then after replacing, they said the light was still on and had to replace some kind of pin. But they swore the bag really had to be replaced. Did I pay $800 for a bad pin. . . . Maybe. Or, is there a pattern of airbags going out for no reason? the bag was not deployed in my presence, but after that being the fourth "bad part" go out on this car, I feel I should report it. Before I got the new bag, the light would go on and off when I turned sharp corners. Car was at about 80,000 miles when the light came on. It took me about six months after the light came on before I could afford to replace. . . . The car has had numerous faulty parts.
Air bag sensor light randomly comes on and off while driving and first staring up. No accidents to cause this. Car has just over 65k. After seeing many complaints online about this same issue of the sensors randomly coming on after 60k miles or so, seems this issue needs to be addressed. Doesn't seem right that this is a common issue when a car has low mileage. Codes provided were front driver and passanger side impact sensors. Again, no crash or accidents. Car is gently driven.
