Description of the problem	I only drive my car to work and back, it had never been in any kind of accident. The other day i drive to work, work my 8 hours then get in my car to drive home and the air bag dash light comes on, the light would come on and off for a couple days, now it just stays on. I did some research and found that many many people are having the same issue with this car, supposedly this happens once you get in the 80+ thousand mile mark. I checked under my seats for loose connection and found nothing. I also looked at how much the dealer charges and its astronomical. It being a safety issue i think this should be considered as a recall.
