Description of the problem	About a month ago i discovered that my air bag light came on. Well apparently i am not the only person that has complained about this. I called my nearest dealership which is in huntsville alabama to let them know about this problem of course they informed me that there will be a 120. 00 charge just to check to see what is causing this problem, i suppose to have an extended warranty which i feel has expired so therefore the charges are all on me. I did some research only to find that thousands of consumers have complained about the same thing with the same model. I want to know what can we get done about this issue before someone gets injured. Thanks aletha

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
