| Description of the problem | I was the person who first filed the airbag issue on nhtsa. Finally today, the issue was "patched". I say patched not fixed since now the "airbag off" light is always on in my car which does not match the manual of my vehicle. A bigger issue though is that this confuses us into thinking the similarly orange colored cross traffic light on the passenger side is on and twice out of two times we almost had a crash due to that. This patch is not safe or acceptable and i hope that nhtsa acts to protect customers who paid a considerable amount of money to acquire a supposedly safe vehicle. |
