| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | After latest recall, air bag light is always on even when no one is in seat which goes against owner manual. Disable light should only go out when a person a lower weight is sitting in the passenger seat per describe in owner manual. Now the constant light is distracting and brighter than the navigation system at night. Per the manual if the car is started and if some one at a lower weight sits in car after car is started then the car should be turn off then back on. I am stressing that the recall did not fix the problem but disables the air bag when not required to be disabled. |
