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.
