| Description of the problem | First i will say i am an adult female weighing 120 lbs, sufficient weight to activate airbags. We just purchased this car and went for long trip and i noticed my air bag light was off. I tried to adjust positions and sometimes i could get it to come back on, only to find a few minutes later that is off again, this process was repeated the whole 7 hour trip. We were traveling on snow covered roads so this was very upsetting to not have the air bags working. This is a serious problems that needs to be fixed. What good are safety features in a car if they do not work properly. |
