Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The warning sensor on the srs systems keeps failing. the dealer is fixing, but i'm told that when the warning light is on the srs system will not deploy. thus, the repeated faults in the srs sensing system is creating potential safety issue as the warning system is (in effect) shutting down the srs system. while the dealer has been fixing, there appears to be no urgency to warn customers that this kind of warning sensor actually keeps the air bag from deploying (manual is quite vague on this point). i am pursuing state lemon law remedies to get new car as i am now at the 4th failure of this component. thought you should know about this systematic issue.*ak
