Description of the problem | The airbag light comes on and the airbag will not deploy were an accident to happen. It is the driver side front deploy airbag. This can be turned off by wiggling a wire and connector under the rear of the driver's seat. The light and disabling of the airbag happen at random times and any time you increase speed quickly (ie. Freeway on ramps). This is again remedied by a giggling the wires and connector behind and under the driver. I can disable the airbag anytime by wiggling the wire under the seat, if driving prior to the indicator coming on. I will take the vehicle to the dealership although several other owners have been unsuccessful in their many attempts. The problem is also being reported on line by owners of new 2012 models. |
