Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Takata recall. When replacing the airbag the airbag light on the dash came on. When taking the vehicle back for second airbag replacement the dealer was notified that the light had come on. The dealer stated that it was a coincidence and had nothing to do with the fact that they had just worked on the system. I wonder if this has been an issue and what is the fail rate of the seat sensor at the time of work being done or if this is a way to recoup money for the service.

There are several recalls on this vehicle including air bags. We have made several attempts over the years to get any of these done with zero success. The dealership just keeps telling us to come back. Our air bag light comes on and goes out all the time. The lights fill with water after washing or if it rain causing the headlights to short out and blow the bulbs. The engine rattles everytime you crank the car and then goes away. We have changed the oil regularly and it still does it.
