Air bag light comes on when front sets are moved manually, if I wiggle connector under seat or move seat back and forth I can get the light to go out. It is my understanding that if the light is on airbag system is inoperative?? Have had this problem for last 6 months.

Note: this is the second occurrence of this problem and they were identical except for the dates and the mileage on the car. 1) events - air bag light would come on and stay on for a day or two and then go off and stay off for several days and then repeat the sequence. 2) failure - there was no actual failure but both times the dealer service advised that it needed to be fixed or the consequences could be either the airbag going off when it was not needed or not going off when needed. 3) repair - installed belt kit (14875 opc) - old part not available.

The car would not always start, so I took it back to the dealer under warranty, and it was discovered that the one of the cables that attached to the battery had melted (of course the battery was also drained). Also, my turn signals blinked quickly when the brakes were on. Within three weeks, my brake lights did not work if the headlights or turn signals were used. When I took the car back to the dealership, the panels for the brake lights were replaced. It appears that there was a leak in the casing of the break lights and the water caused the connectors to also melt. Now, after over $500 in repairs that were not covered by my warranty, the air bag light stays on while driving for no apparent reason.

I bought the car october 3 and started having problems with it 2 to 3 weeks later first there was a leak in the coolant department it took them a week to fix and did not do a good job, then the air bag light came on they fixed that then I heard a noise under the hood a loud noise like metal was rubbing together they said it was the belts they tightened them ok the sound went away a week in a half later I hard the noise again and it was even louder.... I had to have the car towed to them.... It took over a week before I received the car back they said it was the air conditioner compressor... Ok 2 weeks later I hear the same noise again, now remind you this is the same noise for the third time... Now hey are telling me to bring it in for servicing... And I'm gonna have to pay for what ever is wrong with the van... I only had the van for about three months.
