Description of the problem	Takata recall. Light on clock area showed an off from the day i purchased the car. The suddenly on or about 3/6/2016 an indicator light showed an air bag warning. I took it into champion automotive care plus. They inspected the indicator light and contacted the manufacture and stated to replace the part it would cost over $1000. 00. The next day the light went out. Then a few days later a message came up that the passenger air bags were off. My engine was turned on, when i put it in gear the off light went on. Due to the lousy lighting the only thing you could see was the off light. The only time i was made aware there was a problem is when the indicator light went on.
