Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
The airbag light went off in the instrument cluster. I hear what sounds like a disconnected cable rubbing against the steering wheel whenever I try to make a turn. All buttons in the steering wheel are non functional after the incident. Really concerned if the airbag won’t deploy and cause fatal or deadly injuries in case of crash. I don’t feel safe driving it in this condition.

The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle shifted hard. The steering wheel was loose. The air bag warning light was illuminated.

My airbag light is on once again and I have only had the recall replaced once never had the second so some shop has scammed that they replaced it. I need it fixed
Takata recall but still has an airbag light on when it should have been fixed.
