| Description of the problem | While driving on more than one occasion the passenger side airbag light comes on while someone is riding in the passenger seat. I notice there was a recall issued for the same problem so i took in to the dealership. They said that my vehicle was not covered in the recall. They were not able to recover any codes or able to get the light to come on, and were unable to duplicate the problem. I was told there was nothing they could do to fix it. Now i'm stuck with a vehicle that has a known airbag issue that i can't get fixed. I don't want someone to be injured while riding in my car. |
