Description of the problem	I bought this used vehicle 4 months ago. I will make a copy/paste of previous complaints. Without any real reason when the car is started with a passenger or driver, either one may display that the air bags are not engaged while driving at any speed. It is not predictable. This means that the airbags may not deploy. At this time we have a trust issue with this vehicle in case of an accident. I think the manufacturer should make a recall for this situation.

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.
