Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Air bag light stays on! Took the car to my mechanic to "fix it" for $72, and only two weeks later, the light went on again. I was told to pull on and jiggle the passengers seat belt to make it go off, however, that doesn't work. Do i want to spend another $72 to "fix it"? The cost to replace the sensor would be approximately $435. When the air bag light is illuminated, the big risk is that the air bags will not respond in an accident. *tt
