| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I was told the vehicle has not been in a crash, yet discovered the airbag light was on upon further inspection (after purchase). I know similar model years had airbag recalls. I have been told that if i were to crash the srs system and the airbags would not deploy. How can a dealer sell you a vehicle that isn't safe to operate? I just want to ensure there isn't a known problem before i spend hundreds of dollars just to ensure the safety of operating my vehicle; even though it should have came that way. Also, intermittently the seatbelt light will come on even when i am buckled up. |
