Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Air bag light appears on dashboard until vehicle is turned off. Dealership is aware of problem.
Air bag indicator has lit on many occasions for last several weeks. Dealer claims they cannot find a problem or make it light, although there was an error code in the vehicle computer. Dealer attempted to charge me for checking as extended warranty would not cover. We drive in fear that one or both air bags may deploy at any time due to a short circuit, causing a major accident.
Air bag light illuminates on dashboard, has occurred four other times. Dealer has been notified about problem; however, has not been able to service malfunction.
Rear windows inoperable 3 times/right front seat belt locks up, have to unbelt to get slack so passengers reluctant to use belt/transmission has trouble finding first gear/rear end hums/front end feels "loose" after control arms replaced twice/tires squeal at very low speeds/accel pedal stuck to floor, then started coming apart/air bag warning light came on until 3rd repair/leather seats split at seam, repairs sloppy.
