We were put at risk by the intermittent connection of the air bag sensor. As the line became frayed and wires broke. The airbags system was compromised causing the system to not function properly. The problem occurred when I was moving my set back and forth. The air bag and seat belt light came on. The light would come off and on. Putting my family at risk.”
