I have replaced the mass air flow sensor and the code keeps coming on. It only stayed off for a month. It causes the car to idle rough. I am not sure if the other problems that are happening are related but the only light that comes on is the service engine light and the code shows p0101.

Front collision sensor turns on even without any cars in front. The dealer said sometimes the rain affects the sensor but it still turns on even when it's not raining. Once it's the warning light is on, it never turns off. I'm concerned for my safety especially when the emergency brakes depends on the sensor. This happens whenever i drive on a city street. I've had this car since 12/8/19.

A red flashing light that looks like a person sitting with a airbag in the face won't go off and a yellow light that has a x over the 2nd seat. I'm scared that the passenger airbag won't work if an accident occurs
