Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had this same problem since shortly after purchase of my vehicle. (purchased new september 2001...has 47,000 miles in 2006.) the leather on the driver's side air bag keeps pulling away from the seat and exposing the seat. the dealer has looked at it numerous times and tucked the leather back in, but that lasts less than an hour before it is exposed again. i am concerned the air bag may deploy without warning - or - not deploy properly during an accident. i even had an upholstery company look at it and they said they couldn't do anything without disconnecting the air bag, etc. and there would be no guarantee it would hold after repair. i declined that offer. research shows many, many complaints on this same problem. *nm
