No matter what speed I am driving at or whether or not there is a passenger my service safety restraint system light comes on randomly and shuts off randomly.

I see several people complaining about this as well and think it might be time to look into what the problem is and do a recall.

The vehicle was traveling at a very low speed in a parking lot and impacted a light pole. All front airbags deployed and the drivers steering wheel airbag deployed severely breaking the drivers arm, causing shoulder injuries, and neck injuries. The occupant would have been completely fine had the airbags not deployed.

WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT COULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM CAUSE ONLY HAD 2 MILES WHEN TOOK IT OUT FROM THE DEALER. I FEEL THAT IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. ALSO THE PASSENGER SEAT DOESN'T MOVE TO BE ADJUSTED. WENT TO THE DEALER A WEEK AGO BUT STILL WAITING FOR CALL BACK TO MADE THE REPAIR.
