“On nov 03, 2017 around 7:45am, my son and I got in the car to drop him off to school when we barely left our house maybe 5 houses away when all sudden the noise service airbag light went on my dashboard. I took some pictures and turn the engine of.”
NHTSA complaint #11042909, filed 2017-11, 1 miles“I have had my vehicle since november of 2016. Shortly after I bought it the check airbag light came on. I took it to the deal since it was still under warranty. They replaced something. This 'fix' only lasted for a little while. The light comes on all the time now. When I took it back to have them look at it they are going to charge me a fee since it is past the warranty. If this would have been fixed correctly the first time. I also don't feel that this should be my responsibility to fix since it is a safety issue.”

We noticed that air bag on light was not lit. When she took away the seat cushion the airbag on was lit.I don't know if this is a problem, but there was no warning msg anywhere about using a seat cushion. There was no override switch to force the airbag on light either and activate the system.”
