“The airbag light comes on in the dash indicating a problem with the system. The passenger airbag light also indicates the passenger airbag is off. The light was coming on intermittently, but now it comes on 90% of the time as soon as I start my vehicle. I took it to the dealer today and it cost me $100 just for them to look at it. The dealer states it could need a new seat belt tension sensor power source which is $650. They are not sure if it will correct the problem or require additional parts. I did a search on the internet and the issues is documented on many forums. I believe the car manufacturer should cover the issue since they are aware of the problem.”Owner report · Air Bags · Jul 2018
