Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Airbag light went on which indicates the airbag is not functioning. have taken the car to the dealership three times already to have this fixed. will be taking it in for the fourth time tomorrow. the first time i took it in, they told me they fixed the problem. the second time they told me they had to replace the electrical harness in order to fix the problem. the third time they told me that they had to replace the electrical harness again to fix the problem. i'm curious what they will say this time. many people have reported the same airbag light problem on the mini chat rooms. the scary thing is that the dealership told me that when the airbag light comes on, either one or both of my airbags will not deploy if i get into an accident.*ak
