Air bag light stays on! took the car to my mechanic to "fix it" for $72, and only two weeks later, the light went on again. I was told to pull on and jiggle the passengers seat belt to make it go off, however, that doesn't work. Do I want to spend another $72 to "fix it"? the cost to replace the sensor would be approximately $435. When the air bag light is illuminated, the big risk is that the air bags will not respond in an accident.

Air bag light came on and has remained on every since. No accidents involved. Based on another complaint I seen, must be a factory fault.
