NHTSA complaint #10788195, filed 2015-11, 98,004 miles“The airbag light turns on at the beginning when a child or a light load is in the passenger's seat. It then turns off once I start going. I don't know if that means that it is on or off and am concerned. Secondly, I recently had to repair the runner on the drivers side back sliding door. The wire that went through the middle of it was in jeopardy of getting damaged if I didn't. I had to pay $350 to get this repaired. It looks like I'll have to be repairing the passenger's side in the future as it is showing signs of deterioration.”
