    Passenger airbag light indicator & passenger airbag on/off indicator remains on even when a passenger is seated in the front seat. I think this is a safety issue because the airbag will not deploy from an impact as needed. Request any assistance with this related safety issue. Thank you

    My air bag light stays on in my dash. Went to my local dealer to find out an old code b0020-13 was detected. They found everything to be fine, so they reset the code. The air bag light came back on two days later, and the same code came on again. They recommended a replacement of the side air bag module under the driver seat to repair the concern. They want to charge me $1600 for parts and labor, and what's worse,…

    On occasion when passenger enters vehicle, air bag indicator light does not go out giving the appearance that the vehicle does not think a passenger is in the vehicle. Typically occurs when passenger is entering vehicle at the same time the vehicle is being started. Can usually be 'resolved' by turning vehicle off and on again. Has occurred multiple times.

    The air bag light came on showing the airbag for the driver is no longer working. I thought there was a recall on it since i have heard and read online this has been a common problem. Same with the engine light glitch i have read is a common problem which doesn't allow my car to accelerate properly when that light is on.

    The airbag light comes on the dash and will not turn off. When the vehicle was brought to the dealership they stated the vin was not included on the vehicle recall list although we are encountering the same issues. The issue occurs whether the car is still or in motion and whether the seat is occupied or not. It's not safe to have a passenger.
