SAFTEY AIR BAG ...LIGHT COME ON AND STAYS ON

PURCHASED VEHICLE AND THE FOLLOWING DAY THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE TAKEN IN FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. LATER ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE THE AIR BAG IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT STARTED TO MAKE A KNOCKING SOUND AND THEN STOPPED. JUST RECENTLY IT BEGAN MAKING THE KNOCKING SOUND AGAIN WHEN I OPEN MY CAR DOOR, AS WELL AS CLOSE IT. IT LASTS ABOUT 3 MINUTES AND THEN STOPS.

FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, AN AIRBAG RED LIGHT COMES ON SPORADICALLY ALONG WITH A BEEPING NOISE. I CAN'T AFFORD THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP REQUIRES TO CHECK IT OUT TO SEE IF IT IS THE DRIVERS SIDE OR PASSENGER AIR BAG. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IT IMPOSES ANY DANGER. THEY SAY IT MAY ME JUST A FAULTY SYSTEM AND THAT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THE AIRBAG WOULDN'T DEPLOY IN AN EMERGENCY. BUT THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE WHOLE FRONT SIDE OUT TO CHECK. THE LABOR TIME IS QUITE PRICE. ALSO, WHEN USING MY REMOTE, THE DOOR LOCKS STAY LOCKED OFF AND ON. NO RHYME OF REASON. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR; BUT YOUR FORM HERE MAKES ME PUT JUST ONE DATE DOWN IN ORDER TO PROCEED.

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT HAS A AIRBAG MESSAGE ON THE DASH THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T WORK THE CAR WON'T TURN OVER

WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET, THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND WARNING INDICATOR FOR THE RED AIRBAG SIGN DISPLAYED. CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DID NOT.

DOOR LOCKS WORK INTERMITTENTLY WITH REMOTE, ESPECIALLY OVER 75 DEGREES. USUALLY DRIVER DOOR LOCK BUT CAN BE ANY. ALL STILL WORK MANUALLY. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE HANDICAPPED PEOPLE ARE OFTEN IN THIS VEHICLE AND CAN'T GET OUT ON THEIR OWN. ALSO INTERMITTENTLY DEPENDENT ON HOW HOT IT IS THE SERVICE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON BUT OFTEN DISAPPEARS. THIS STARTED SOON AFTER THE SO CALLED AIRBAG RECALL WAS DONE.

THEY ALSO GAVE ME A LIST OF 9 CODES THAT MY CAR NOW HAS BUT DIDN'T BACK IN JUNE 3 OF WHICH I KNOW ABOUT TIRE AND DEAD BATTERY IN MY REMOTE AND MY ACTUATOR DOOR, THE REST ALL HAVE TO DO WITH ELECTRIC ISSUES. I THINK STEMMING FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL. I WOULDN'T PAY 90.00 TO HAVE IT CODED AGAIN SO I LOOKED UP THE CODES MYSELF AND THEY ARE ALL LOOP OPEN CIRCUIT AND ONE IS SECOND ROW SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CONTROL. SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS MORE THAN WRAPPING THE WIRES IS GOING TO FIX, I THINK IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH THE RECALL BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY DID WRAP OR CHANGE THE HOUSING?? MY CODES ARE AS FOLLOWS B0223 B3060 B3031 B1325/3 B0074 C0755 BOO1B/4 B0021/04.

WHEN MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND TRACTION CONTROL AND LOSS OF POWER. AFTER AUTO MALL FIXED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THEY HAD THE NERVE TO ASK IF I HAD MICE LIVING IN MY CAR...
