Air bag lights will not go off dealer reset but came back on soon afterwards. Another dealer said it was not covered under warranty and part was over $1000. Multiple dead car batteries due to running lights not turning off after you park the car. Please for the love of everything good in this world just recall and fix already.

Takata recall. Light on clock area showed an off from the day I purchased the car. The suddenly on or about 3/6/2016 an indicator light showed an air bag warning. I took it into champion automotive care plus. They inspected the indicator light and contacted the manufacture and stated to replace the part it would cost over $1000.00. The next day the light went out. Then a few days later a message came up that the passenger air bags were off. My engine was turned on, when I put it in gear the off light went on. Due to the lousy lighting the only thing you could see was the off light. The only time I was made aware there was a problem is when the indicator light went on.
