For some reason, my airbag light continues to stay on for a few days and then may go off for a day before coming back on. No one has been able to figure out whey this is happening. I want to make sure this is not an airbag sensor issue or something related to the recall issues with takata. Thanks you and please get back to me as soon as you can.

Spring broke on air bag for no reason. Light did come on and off in the dash board. I' m writing this to inform the board that this seems to be an additional problem with these airbags. Furthermore i feel it should not be the responsibility of the consumer to pay for the repair for the amount of four hundred a d fifty dollars.. *tr
