“One day I was driving on the highway and I received a notification to 'service air bag' and my car shows the passenger seatbelt isn't buckled, even when it is. This causes my car to make noises at me the whole time I'm driving. It has also raised concerned of whether my airbags are functioning, and if I and anyone who rides with me is safe driving/riding in this car.. I just had the bushing for the shifter cable repaired.. Now another dangerous situation with my DART.”
