Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET, POSSIBLY TWO MINUTES AFTER DEPARTING MY HOME, IS WHEN I'D REALIZED THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. EVERYTIME FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS, THE WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE AS SOON AS THE CAR TURNED ON. IT FINALLY SHUT OFF AFTER I WENT OUT TO SHOP. IT WAS ILLUMINATED ON MY WAY TO THE SHOPS. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, SHOPPED AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, THE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE AND HAS NOT SINCE THEN. NOW, IT HAS BEEN AROUND TWO WEEKS SINCE IT TURNED OFF.
