| Description of the problem | My air bag light is on all the time. I'm on my third sensor. For me, they last about six months before the problem returns. My mechanic says the airbag won't deploy if needed, others say it could deploy for no reason. The vehicle is beyond the original warranty and because the vehicle is beyond the original warranty, the dealer is not willing to cover the costs even though it is clearly a flaw with this vehicle. There is currently no recall that i am aware of. *jb |
