Just return from shopping pulled up into the driveway, went inside the house, all of a sudden airbag on the passenger side deployed. Contacted dealer, dealer indicated that vehicle was not under warranty. Checked air vac system.

Air bag warning lamp constantly flashes. It flashes six times, pauses then goes thru same pattern. Shop manual indicates there is a fault with driver side airbag (diagnosis of failed component(s)is detailed step-by-step procedure). My understanding is this is not a singular problem but is symptomatic of this make, model & year of vehicle. I would like to see a recall issued for this chronic problem.
