| Description of the problem | This problem first surfaced on the morning of 6/25/2010. I, along with a front seat passenger, were returning from running an errand when i noticed that the air bag light was flashing intermittently and that the 'passenger air bag disabled' indicator was lit. The later eventually returned to its normal state, off, but the air bag indicator remained on intermittently. I drove the vehicle again on 6/27/2010 with the following symptoms: the air bag light was intermittent and at the same time the an warning chime, at 1 second intervals, was heard. The 'passenger air bag disabled' indicator remained lit without a front seat passenger. The vehicle was again driven on 7/5/2010 with the same indications. As a result, i am hesitant to drive this vehicle until i do more research or speak to a certified service facility. I truly feel that i'd be at risk of an inadvertent air bag deployement while driving on the interstate , possibly causing injuries to myself, passengers, and other vehicles, and thus i'm requesting help and advice from your organization. |
