| Description of the problem | We purchased this car brand new in 2011. It has been serviced and never in an accident. At 104,000 miles, the airbag light came on and now is not working properly. If an accident were to occur, i'm afraid the airbag system will fail resulting in preventable injuries/death. After researching this issue, there have been multiple complaints filed concerning the airbag system. |
