| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Whenever the passenger/driver seats are moved within 10 seconds of starting the car airbag light comes on in the console and does not turn off until done so manually by a mechanic. the "pod" device is then disabled. if light is on, then airbag might not deploy in an accident, injuries or death may occur. on 2 separate occasions, one in august and one in october the light was reset by a mechanic and took 3 days each time. i have been advised to have the computer in the car reprogrammed, but the dealership's mechanics have not done so, assuming that is why the light keeps appearing.*ak |
