Purchased car used but still under manufacturers warranty. It has been in the shop 4 times for this problem and it still is not fixed. Have asked for the district representative to look at the car to either replace or refund my money. They have refused to do so. Also I was in a loaner Ls which was a 2002 model that had the same problem. The airbag light comes on and stays on for periods of times. I suspect that the problem was there when I purchased the car.
