Consumer Description

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY AND HAS NOT SHUT OFF FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I WAS TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP THAT IT COULD COST A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY VERY DANGEROUS AND THAT TERRIFYING THAT IT COULD BE SET OFF AT ANY TIME FOR NO REASON OR EVEN WORSE NOT AT ALL. AFTER SEEING SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN ADDRESSED OR RECALLED?
