NHTSA complaint #11310007, filed 2020-02, 130,000 miles“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.”
