Passenger light airbag is never detected. (been on going for a couple of years) engine light stays on (for about 3 months) seatbelt airbag (3 months) will not go out. There is never a recall and a problem is never found by mechanic. Can get the engine light off for a little while, but comes back on usually within a week.

Seat Belts
Both front driver and passenger side seat belts are difficult to pull slack out from the shoulder door frame area when you are trying to put on or take off the seat belt. It feels as though they may get stuck in places. The shoulder straps do not pull or retract smoothly/easily.

Just fine with only one error code in the system and that was from the first time. The car is now home and the light has…
