| Description of the problem | Passenger side "air bag" light has come on. Passenger air bag "on/off" light flashes back and forth when the seat is occupied. Have seen many reports of same on the internet - same year, make and model of automobile. It is reported to be very expensive to repair but sounds like a recall is in order as many vehicles have been found to share the problem not associated with normal wear and tear. |
