Consumer Description

THE CAR CONSTANTLY SHOWS A DIGITAL MESSAGE SAYING "SERVICE AIR BAGS," IT WAS SERVICED OVER A YEAR AGO IN NY AT A BUICK DEALER, AND THERE WAS A RECALL RELATING TO CHANGING THE KEY FOB. DIDN'T WORK OR MAKE SENSE. IN MN MY MECHANIC HAS LOOKED AT THE ERROR SEVERAL TIMES, CAN'T FIND A CODE, RESETS THE COMPUTER AND THE MESSAGE STILL SHOWS. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT NOW SHOWS AN AIR BAG MALFUNCTION TOO. I CAN'T FIND A RECALL BUT I AM GRAVELY CONCERNED THAT I HAVE NO PROTECTION FOR EITHER PASSENGER. THIS IS MY SECOND REGISTRATION OF THIS COMPAINT AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING>
