| Description of the problem | Airbag light stays on. I have researched this online and this is a problem that a lot of people are having. I think there should be a recall for the airbag and the electrical system. The light stays on while vehicle is in motion or idling. As far as the electrical system, sometimes it will go off, i have to stop my car, pull the fuse panel and unplug something, wait a few minutes then push it back in and then my radio, lights, etc work again. The electrical has been happening for several years off and on. The airbag light staying on is in it's second week. I just replaced my battery and the light is still on. |
