| We took the car in for a recall on the ocs and the dealer found two fault codes b1701 and b1706 indicating that both passenger and drivers side belt pretensioners resistance is too high.i see there are many 2006 and 2007 soantas with a similar issue. dealer wants a total of 871.74. with the number of repeated complaints i think there should be a safety recall. | |||

| My husband notice the passenger airbag light was coming on and going off as we were going down the highway at around 20,000 miles. this happened many times for both my husband and myself. i brought the car into 2 different dealers and was told they can't duplicate the problem. since we didn't notice it happening until we were going down the highway for at least a half hour, i wasn't surprised that it didn't happen while test driving it at slower speeds in town. since it didn't happen for the dealers, and the abs light in the instrument panel didn't come on when it happened, there was nothing they could do. now that the vehicle is out of warranty at 66,000 miles, both the passenger abs light and the instrument light have come on and won't go out. i also noticed that the passenger seatbelt light was flashing when my husband had his seatbelt on and buckled. i am bringing it to the dealership to see if this will be fixed under warranty but am sure they will say it's not covered and will cost me. *tr | |||
