Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Air bag light comes on intermittently, blinks 7 times pauses and repeats until vehicle is shut off and restarted. taken to dealership mulitple times starting with 2 years ago, but was informed that they could not check it unless it was blinking at the time. was advised to bring it back while it's blinking. blinking usually occurs on my way to work or after the dealership hours. i have looked this problem up in my repair manual cd and found the problem was that one of the airbag sensors was not working properly. i'm concerned about my safety if there is an accident if the air bag will deploy or not with this problem. i know multiple owners of this vehicle with this problem and one who has this problem and was in an accident where air bag did not deploy for a 100 mph impact. my air bag light continues with this problem.*ak
