Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Air bag light comes on when the car is started. the car, however, can be driven without an issue. the abs light then disappears after about three minutes. the dealer has twice turned-off the light by resetting the vehicle computer. both times after the the dealer "fixed" the problem and a person seats on the back seat the light will automatically come on again. for clarification: i just imported my (u.s. specifications) vehicle from germany both of these occurences took place in the country of germany, however the previous owner warned me about the defect while the vehicle was in the u.s.a. usa dealer has yet to be contacted. at this point i am unsure that the airbags will deploy in the case of an accident.
