Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The airbag indicator would not go out after start of engine. brought car back to dealer where i was advised that due to a short in the seat belt pretensioner that the circuit that tied the airbags with the sensors in the bumpers etc. would keep the airbags from deploying. dealer indicated they were ordering a new part to replace the seat belt pretensioner and furnished me with a loaner. they did not want me to drive the car in this condition since it would take 2 days to get a new part. *la
