What owners say
Air bag light continuously blinks while driving. Vehicle was taken to the dealer. Dealer replaced the complete air bag system on driver side. *ak the panel was replaced as well.
The air bag light all of a sudden started blinking while the ignition is on. I took the car to the dealer and they said needed new air bag controller. When I got in the car the light stopped flashing, I spoke with service rep and he said that the light will come on again and they have a report detailing the code from the computer.
While traveling on the highway and without prior warning the driver's side air bag light will flash on and off.
Air bag light has been blinking for a year or more. Dealer will not replace air bag system at their cost. Only solution is a total replacement. Warranty has expired. There was no explanation what caused light to blink.
