| The airbag light constantly stays on. the dealer says the aced derm needs to be replaced at a cost of approximately $450.00. the owner's manual states if the airbag light stays on, one should contact the dealer. i pulled the fuse so the airbag wouldn't deploy unexpectedly and as such i haven't had the protection provided by an airbag. i feel the computer modules should be replaced by the manufacturer at no cost to me since they should last longer than 27,000 miles. if the bag accidently deploys while i'm driving, it could cause an accident with injuries to me, my passengers or other persons. i feel a malfunctioning airbag system is a serious safety hazard and should be repaired by the vehicle manufacturer or the airbag manufacturer. *ak | |||

| Air bag did not deploy after rear end impact from a 1 1/2 ton box truck and subsequent impact into another parked vehicle directly in front of the impacted vechicle, probably at a high rate of speed from parked to immediate acceleration. air bag did not deploy upon impact into car directly in front of impacted vehicle. although seat belts were used, in a rear end impact, the thrust of weight is to the rear which makes seat belts fundamentally useless in restraining body weight towards the rear. additionally, impact with the vehicle directly in front of me resulted in 200 pounds of weight suddently and dramatically being thrust foward which did not prevent injury to my head, back, leg and arm. | |||
