Takata recall inflators airbag light shows up on my dash screen while driving never goes away while the car in motion even when on in park gear. As soon as the key is inserted to start the vehicle the reading shows up as long as the car is in motion. I do not know if this poses a risk but I am concern as too if the air bag might pop out while driving. Thank you for viewing. I am taking this as a warning that it could happen while driving. Also washer fluid reservoir tank has a blockage. Fluid does not come up high enough to clean the windshield. This may or not be under a recall. Concern about driving . Do not want the air bag to pop out.

The passenger air bag seat sensor does not sense at all times a 130 lb adult is sitting in the seat so it disables the passenger air bag. I paid the gm dealer to have the passenger seat cushion sensor replaced and now the problem has returned. The problem is intermittent and I must look over to see if the sensor detected a passenger before I proceed driving. I talked to the dealer but they do not want to cover the cost of the passenger seat air bag sensor . The last time I had it replaced at the gm dealer it cost me several hundred dollars.

Even when my seat belts are buckled my seatbelt/airbags are dinging both passenger and drivers side... This is very annoying and needs to be addressed asap. I haven't had any accidents but feel they should be fixed for safety purposes.
