| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When passenger sits in the passenger side weighing anywhere from 100-220lbs while driving and while sitting still the passenger side air bag light will go on and off, the indicator normally states that the airbag will not deploy in the event of an accident. i read other complaints and found that there was suppose to be a recall on this model car, but i never received a notice. when i first got the car i called the dealer and they said that if the light is on then the air bag will deploy, but this contradicts what is in the manual, and what is stated from other consumer complaints. i got in a wreck about 6 months after having my car, i got hit from behind fairly hard, and the air bags did not go off, but the manual says they will not deploy in most rear end collisions, so i didn't think much of it. this makes me scared that i am going to have a loved one in the passenger seat when a wreck occurs and the air bag is going to fail.*ak |
