| Description of the problem | When my husband shuts off the car, gets out and refuels, i remain seated in the passenger seat. He starts the car and drives off. The passenger airbag light reads that the airbag is off even though i am seated in the passenger seat. The first time it happened starlink told us to take the car in to be checked,but the didn't find anything wrong with it. This has happened so many times that i get out when he gets gas, so we don't have to pull over on the highway and shut off and get out to reactivate the airbag. I have taken the car in to the dealership at least 3 times for this. |
